Help:Editing

This wiki uses Mediawiki, the same wiki system as the Wikipedia project. You can use their help pages to introduce you to the Mediawiki wikicode syntax.

Templates
Most of the content in this wiki is wrapped in fairly complex templates (e.g. the and  templates above). These templates do most of the formatting and help to aggregate the repetitive stuff in one place, so when something is to be modified, there is no need to make the same modification tens or hundreds of times. For help about the templates used in this wiki, see Help:Templates.

Style
The wiki aims to have consistent style. Please see Help:Manual of style for a style guide that helps to follow consistent style and formatting in the wiki.

Note that you don't need to master the complex templates or abovementioned guidelines in order to contribute. Adding new content is much harder than applying formatting, so feel free to add content even if you're unsure about the formatting -- someone can fix that later.

Some high-traffic templates are locked in order to prevent vandalism or because of performance reasons. In these cases you should request a modification in the discussion page.
