| <big><big>'''W'''</big></big>elcome to StrategyWiki, a collaborative wiki which seeks to become the largest source for free video game strategy guides. As a wiki, everyone is encourage to register and contribute to the compendium. To lead you in the right direction though, you may want to read up on some of the basics of StrategyWiki and wikis in general. Luckily, such information is contained within this guide and its related pages.
| | The main meat of the guide is contained in the [[StrategyWiki:Guide/Walkthrough|walkthrough]]. It describes how to lay out a new guide, where to locate relevant information, how to add information to an existing guide, and how to make a guide bring in readers. Finally, it will provide useful links to all sorts of helpful resources. |

| ==The Basics== | | == Have a question? == |
| StrategyWiki pages are made up of text. Such text is generated from three forms of interpretation: plain text, such as what you are reading now, code (HTML and CSS), and wikitext (MediaWiki's markup language). If you take a look at the source that makes up this page by clicking the edit tab at the top of the page, you'll see numerous instances of plain text and wikitext (brackets, braces, equal signs and other symbols).
| | if you have a specific question and you can't find the answer that you're looking for in the guide, you can always leave a message for the staff in the '''[[StrategyWiki:Staff lounge|Staff lounge]]'''. Here, you can address a specific concern that you have regarding the construction of your guide, and it should be answered fairly promptly by any one of StrategyWiki's guide experts. |
|
| |
|
| Wikitext serves to reduce the time it takes for contributors to write pages while reducing the file size of a page and making editing a page easier than using a combination of HTML and CSS. A list of wikitext symbols can be found at [[StrategyWiki:Guide/Wikitext|this page.]]
| | {{ToC}} |
| | |
| Editing a page is quite simple: just click the edit tab at the top of a page, make a change, and click save under the textbox (keep in mind you must be registered to edit.) And voila! You've made a contribution! Don't be afraid to make changes, as they can always be reverted, but please take your time to make your contributions as error-free as possible by reviewing your changes with the preview button. Fewer edits lead to less work by other people and yourself, and will reduce the history of pages that gets saved within StrategyWiki.
| |
| | |
| What are page histories? StrategyWiki, like all wikis, keeps a record of histories so that page changes can be documented for legal, content, and mishap purposes. It allows users to see who added what, what content has been removed, and what errors have been made and corrected at any given time. You can take a look at the history of this page by clicking the history tab. A copy of each page is saved no matter what, so even if one were to delete this entire page from StrategyWiki, it could be brought back to life with a few clicks.

| ==User privileges==
| |
| ===Editing===
| |
| Registered users are allowed to edit any page that is not locked. They are encouraged to participate beyond contributions by voting and raising their voices towards community issues, such as within the [[StrategyWiki talk:Community Portal|Community Portal]] or even between individual users, in order to make StrategyWiki better.
| |
| | |
| ===Uploading===
| |
| Users are also allowed to [[Special:Upload|upload images]] and other content in the hopes of enhancing an article with it's use. Please note that copyrighted images are not to be uploaded, although fair use of an image (like the the cover of a box or a CD) is allowed. Please '''do not''' upload images that you cannot take credit for yourself or have not been given explicit permission to do so, otherwise it will end up deleted eventually. StrategyWiki only welcomes content related to StrategyWiki and it's guides, so please refrain from uploading other unrelated miscellania. When uploading content to StrategyWiki, be sure to explain what it is in general and to categorize it under at least one of the image categories listed [[:Category:Images|here]].
| |
| | |
| ===Personal Profile===
| |
| StrategyWiki gives every registered member their own page, or profile, to tell about themselves however a user likes. Please respect all user pages by not changing them without the permission of the users themselves. Additional to each user page is the user talk page (which can be found by clicking on the discussion link in the toolbox on the right) where issues that need discussing with individuals can take place.
