;Why would you want to contribute?
:*You know some content is incorrect and wish to correct it
:*You see a page empty, which you know what to fill with
:*You know of missing content and wish to create it
:*You have pictures which can be uploaded which are useful for pages
:*Wish to help clean up and sort pages
:That's reason enough to wish to join in

;Just keep in mind to coordinate with [[User:MyraMidnight|MyraMidnight]] (the current Wiki-Writer) when adding large amount of information, so she can take a look at it and help add proper formatting

==Joining the Wiki Team==
You will need an account on the Wiki before you can begin contributing. At the moment only members of the '''[[Krafties Staff]]''' are able to have an account, which is distributed by [[Kris]] (the creator of Krafties).
===Sandbox/Userpage===
Every User can create page and content, and sometimes you wish to test out your wiki-coding somewhere before adding to the real content of the wiki. Making your User Page is a good place to create a personal sandbox and introducing yourself.
*Click your '''Username''' at the top, once you've created an account.
*Click '''Create''' to make the User:Username page for yourself.
*Have fun filling it with content
==Creating Content==
'''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. Can browse the already made 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.

===New Page===
#When failing to find something with search, you will get:
#*'''Create the page "<span style="color:darkred">NewPage</span>" on this wiki!'''
#Click the red link to proceed to the creation page. Add content, category or redirect it to the proper place.
#'''Show preview''' of what you've made so far.
#'''Save page''' when you're done. You just made a page!

===Edit Page===
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.
#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 were altering the format, visual changes, re-wording, adding thumbnails. '''Do not use''' this option if you were adding something new to the page.
#Press '''Save page''' when done.

==Files==
'''Files''' are images which are used within pages. These image Files can also be added to a category.
===Upload File===
#Press '''[[Special:Upload|Upload file]]''' on ''Toolbox'' link list.
#Find your file to upload, and maybe add it to a ''category'' in the summary.
#*If the the file for the very same subject exists, please go to it and '''update''' it.
===Update File===
When you are on a File Page, you can '''upload a updated version''' of that image, instead of uploading a new File and naming it nr.2 or something alike.
#Find the File Page among the [[Special:ListFiles|List of Files]]
#Click the '''"Upload a new version of this file"''' which below the File History.
#Find your new File and upload
#*If the file extension is different than the original you will simply have to make a New File since ''.jpg'' cannot be updated with a ''.png''

-:You need to be a registered user to edit the wiki
-:Currently anyone can create an account the Krafties Wiki
-:It would be advised to have the wiki username match your Second Life username
-==Keep in mind==
-*Currently [[User:MyraMidnight|MyraMidnight]] is in charge of the template making and formatting.
-**This does not mean you need approval for adding content, just that you should use formatting that keeps things looking unified.
-**You can simply copy-paste existing layouts from similar pages to use when creating content.
-**New content can always be formatted afterwards, so do not worry about things looking plain.
-*The [[Help:Contents|Help Section]] was made to guide you when adding content to the wiki
-*'''"Show Preview"''' is your best friend, before saving changes.
-*The wiki notifies you about changes that might have happened '''while you were editing''' before you can save.
-**This notice allows you to take the new content into consideration before saving.
-**Try editing just the sections instead of whole page when possible. Then there is less likely to be conflicts while editing.
-*'''The wiki is very Case Sensitive when creating internal links'''
-==User Sandbox==
-First thing you should do when you get on board is to  '''create your "User Page"'''. Even without a page existing, every contribution you make will have a link to it.
-*It could be the first page you ever create (it all works the same)
-*It can be your introduction to the team
-*It should be your '''testing ground for coding'''
-*#Click your '''Username''' at the top, once you've created an account.
-*#Click '''Create''' to make the <code>User:Username</code> page for yourself.
-*#Have fun filling it with content
