Help pages[edit]

Totally new?[edit]

Welcome! Check here.

Looking to contribute?[edit]

We have a To-do list. See also:

The category Articles in need of help has other lists for articles that need help in more specific ways. Be aware that some of them can be pretty technical, and so not suitable for newbies.

Need help with editing?[edit]

The page on basic editing and syntax covers most of the general editing that most wiki contributors will run into. Advanced editing discusses technical structures that we use to do a lot of the heavy lifting on the wiki. Data templates in particular are often used.

Looking for more detailed help? See the MediaWiki help pages for detailed documentation of basic editing structures, and the Semantic Mediawiki user manual for the advanced stuff.

Want to experiment?[edit]

The Sandbox is a free space for testing formatting and the like. You can also write up draft articles in your userspace, if you like.

Other questions?[edit]

Check the FAQ. If you still have questions, you can join the Discord and ask there, or ask an administrator on their Talk page.
