*Help us get the Krafties Wiki into shape, cleaning up articles and adding content

}}
+
:Your tasks are: '''correcting content''' and '''adding missing information''', keep everything up to date.
 +
:There are many templates that have been created to help you, you should use them.
 +
:The [[WikiWriter]] is in charge of creating templates, but you can edit them to correct/add links and other details

===UserPage / Sandbox===
−
*Create an account here on the wiki
+
:When you have an account on the Krafties Wiki, you are able to create your '''User page''', by clicking your name in the top-right.
−
;Need help?
+
:*This can become your private '''sandbox''' and a place to keep track of your ideas on the wiki
−
*Check the [[Help:Contents|Help pages]]
+
:*Use your ''sandbox'' when testing out templates or creating new tables
−
;Be bold
+
:*''also'', whenever you make a contribution (editing and adding content) it will link to your user page
−
*There's no need to wait. Jump right in and start editing. The [[:Category:Wiki maintenance|wiki maintenance category]] may be a great place to start, or you can start small by fixing spelling, grammar, and other errors you come across.

==WikiMarkup Cheat-sheet==
−
;Start a new article
+
Need to do something besides plain text? It is really easy. Here are the basic tools to create what you want.
−
*just type a new article name in the [[Special:Search|search]]. A link will be provided to start the article at the top of the search results if it hasn't been created already.
+
;Notes
−
*you can make a new page redirect to it's proper place by adding <code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[PageName]]</nowiki></code>
+
*The wiki is very Case Sensitive, keep that in mind when inserting images or links
−
;Community discussion
+
*It's '''alright''' to create red links, the page or redirect can always be made later
−
*See what the community is currently talking about or make suggestions on the talk pages.
+
*:but sometimes you can avoid them by blending links: <code><nowiki>[[Rez]]zing</nowiki></code> becomes [[Rez]]zing
