Information icon4.png Check out the Community portal for information our plans and other things
  • Help us get the Krafties Wiki into shape, cleaning up articles and adding content
  • Register
  • Need help
    • This is the help wiki.
  • Be bold
    There's no need to wait. Jump right in and start editing. The 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.
  • Start a new article
    just type a new article name in the search. A link will be provided to start the article at the top of the search results if it hasn't been created already.
  • Recent changes
    See a list of recent changes.
  • Community discussion
    See what the community is currently talking about or make suggestions.

Reorganizing Help Page

  • Please try to keep pages consistent, even if that means copying the layout from another page.
  • There are guides that help you get familiar with adding content to the wiki, you can test them on your userpage (click your name anywhere)
  • Please use the "Upload a new version of this file" instead of creating a new image/file when updating images
    • If a image is too big for your purpose, simply resize it with commands like |300px| or simply make it a thumbnail with |thumb|
  • If there is a template you can use, please use it, it saves clutter, and allows us to easily adjust how the information is presented without having to edit every single page to adjust it.
    • If the info is only going to be seen on one page or two, then they do not belong as a template. Unless the page is getting complex and cramped (example: main page)

Notes

  • The wiki is very CASE SENSITIVE when it comes to links and filenames
  • When you move a page to a new name, it will create a REDIRECT which forwards people to the current location
  • Think of using Templates like you are actually filling in forms, manual is on the template pages themselves
  • Please Use your UserPage like a sandbox to test out formatting or pre-creating content
  • There are sometimes hidden notes which can only be seen while editing, <!-- putting these around the message -->.
