==Creating Articles / Editing Content==
+
==Quick WikiMarkup Overview==
−
'''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''.
+
Need to do something besides plain text? It is really easy. Here are the basic tools to create what you want.
−
: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.
+
;Notes
−
[[File:EditingWiki.png|frame|center|This is the options when editing a page, "Summary" is where you write why/what you were editing]]
+
*The wiki is very Case Sensitive, keep that in mind when inserting images or links
 +
*It's '''alright''' to create red links, the page or redirect can always be made later
 +
*:but sometimes you can avoid them by blending links: <code><nowiki>[[Rez]]zing</nowiki></code> becomes [[Rez]]zing

+
|-
−
;Updating files/images
+
|{{monospace|<nowiki>|</nowiki>}}
−
*If you just need to update an existing file, then go to that file and use the ''"Upload a new version of this file"''
+
| Table Cell
−
*If the new image is drastically different, such as being a different subject, then just create a new file
+
|-
−
;Image size
+
|{{monospace|<nowiki>|}</nowiki>}}
−
*Please do not update a file with a worse quality image (such as shrinking it).
+
| Table end
−
*Just use parameters like <code>|thumb|</code> for a instant small thumbnail, or use <code>|300px|</code> to specify a size.
+
|}
−
;Use templates when they are provided (to display information)
+
|
−
*there is always a {{tl|Documentation}} on every template that explains how to use it
+
{| class=wikitable
