{{Tag Attention|align=left|title=New changes to the "Template Explanation"|message=I recently made some changes to the [[Template:Template Explanation|Template Explanation]] template because it was too easy to break it with it's contents. But the changes unfortunately broke the ''explanation box'' on all templates using it. These changes were necessary and Im working on fixing them, its a easy fix. '''Thanks in advance for helping/being patient.'''

*If you run into a template with a ''broken explanation box'', then it would be nice if you could help me fix it. Remember that table parameters only work at the beginning of a line.
−
*Help us get the Krafties Wiki into shape, cleaning up articles and adding content
+
*#just find the beginning of the template, <code><nowiki>{{Template Explanation|...</nowiki></code> and change it into <code><nowiki>{|{{Template Explanation}}... </nowiki></code>
−
}}
+
*#finish it by closing the table by finding the end of it, <code><nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> needs to become <code><nowiki>|}</nowiki></code>, then the box will look as intended.

==Creating Articles / Editing Content==
+
==Handy Notes (read this)==
−
'''Creating Content''' is as easy as searching for it. If you can't find it, feel free to create it, ''because somebody else will probably search for it too at some point''.
+
Links to everything you might need are in the header, but these are handy tips to keep in mind
−
:Can browse the existing pages and categories or simply use the '''Search''' function. If the search can't find it, it will give you the option of creating the missing page.
+
:;Removing content without deleting it
−
[[File:EditingWiki.png|frame|center|This is the options when editing a page, "Summary" is where you write why/what you were editing]]
+
::You can use the <code><nowiki><!---</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>---></nowiki></code> around content when editing, it will prevent it from actually appearing on the page.
 +
::*Use it to ''remove text temporarily without deleting the content'' (if it might be useful info)
 +
::*Use it to ''add notes and memos to other contributors''
 +
::*Use it to ''hide text while you are rearranging or rewriting content''
 +
:;Editing pages
 +
::'''Summary'''
 +
::*If you are editing a section, this will automatically fill with it's title
 +
::*You can write here a quick explanation for your edit
 +
::'''minor edits'''
 +
::*Only check the ''"minor edits"'' if you are fixing spelling errors or formatting
 +
::*This does not hide the fact that the page was edited, it just allows contributors to "hide minor edits" (which can often drown the "recent changes" list)
 +
::'''Watch this Page'''
 +
::*If you wish to be notified whenever someone edits this specific page (will appear on your "watchlist" in the top corner)
 +
::'''Templates Used''' (appear at the very bottom)
 +
::*All templates being used on this page (or section) will be listed at the bottom of the edit page, sometimes need to "show preview" first when editing sections for it to appear.
 +
::*You use this list to easily access the templates in action (to view their "explanation" or edit them)

===Creating a New Page===
+
==UserPage / Sandbox==
−
#When failing to find something with search, you will get:
+
: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.
−
#*'''Create the page "<span style="color:darkred">NewPage</span>" on this wiki!'''
+
:*This can become your private '''sandbox''' and a place to keep track of your ideas on the wiki
−
#Click the red link to proceed to the creation page. Add content, category or redirect it to the proper place.
+
:*Use your ''sandbox'' when testing out templates or creating new tables
−
#'''Show preview''' of what you've made so far.
+
:*''also'', whenever you make a contribution (editing and adding content) it will link to your user page
−
#'''Save page''' when you're done. You just made a page!
 
  
−
===Edit Existing Pages===
+
==Editing Guidelines==
−
When you find a page lacking content, or wish to add your knowledge to the page, or simply wish to add links and thumbnails, then you edit.
+
If you become a regular contributor to the site it is recommended you familiarize yourself with the general editing guidelines. It will help keep pages consistent throughout the site and make editing easier for yourself and other people.
−
#Click '''edit''' on the top of the page/part of page which you wish to edit.
 
−
#Add your content, press '''Show preview''' to see the results
 
−
#;When to use the ''"This is a minor edit"''?
 
−
#*When you're correcting a link, or changing a spelling are ideal reasons. You '''should not''' check this option if you were adding something new to the page. But whatever you do, it will always appear in the "History" of a page.
 
−
#Press '''Save page''' when done.
 
  
−
==Tips to keep in mind==
+
==Markup and Formatting (simple version)==
−
;Try making your [[{{#Special:MyPage}}|Userpage]] first
+
==WikiMarkup Cheat-sheet==
−
*it helps you get used to editing the wiki and you can use it as your personal sandbox for testing out things like templates.
+
Need to do something besides plain text? It is really easy. Here are the basic tools to create what you want.
−
;The wiki is very Case Sensitive
+
;Notes
−
:when it comes to linking to other pages and files, then the wiki can be very Case Sensitive.
+
*The wiki is very Case Sensitive, keep that in mind when inserting images or links
−
;Updating files/images
+
*It's '''alright''' to create red links, the page or redirect can always be made later
−
*If you just need to update an existing file, then go to that file and use the ''"Upload a new version of this file"''
+
*:but sometimes you can avoid them by blending links: <code><nowiki>[[Rez]]zing</nowiki></code> becomes [[Rez]]zing
−
*If the new image is drastically different, such as being a different subject, then just create a new file
+
{| class="pinktable" style="width:800px;margin-left:30px;"
−
;Image size
+
|-
−
*Please do not update a file with a worse quality image (such as shrinking it).
+
! '''Description'''
−
*Just use parameters like <code>|thumb|</code> for a instant small thumbnail, or use <code>|300px|</code> to specify a size.  
+
! '''You Type'''
−
;Use templates when they are provided (to display information)
+
! '''You Get'''
−
*there is always a {{tl|Documentation}} on every template that explains how to use it
+
|-
−
*templates are very easy to use once you get used to it, try them out on your userpage first if unsure.
