Contributors! Getting Started!

Everything you need to get started is found in the header of this page!
Your tasks are: correcting content and adding missing information, keep everything up to date.
Do what you can, when you notice things that need fixing.
Using Templates
  • 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
Creating content/pages
  • You can simply follow the example of other pages with similar content, copy their skeleton to use on your new pages.
  • Dont be shy to create content when it is missing, it is easy for the WikiWriter to move them if needed. Formatting can always come later.

UserPage / Sandbox

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.
  • This can become your private sandbox and a place to keep track of your ideas on the wiki
  • Use your sandbox when testing out templates or creating new tables
  • also, whenever you make a contribution (editing and adding content) it will link to your user page

WikiMarkup Cheat-sheet

Need to do something besides plain text? It is really easy. Here are the basic tools to create what you want.

Notes
  • 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: [[Rez]]zing becomes Rezzing
