How To Edit
Before editing a page ensure you are signed into your wiki account (separate from your game and forum accounts). Once signed it click the edit button located below the left end of the page title but above the first horizontal rule. You should then see an edit screen. You may also opt to edit a single section at once by pressing the edit button to the right of the section's title.
Some pages may not have an edit button but will have a view source button instead. These are protected pages. If you see this you may require administrator or advanced user permission to edit them, or you may have forgotten to log in. If you wish to edit a protected page place your edit in the Talk Page and an administrator will copy it into the page if they feel the proposed change is necessary.
What To Edit
There are four main reasons to edit a page:
- The page contains inaccurate information.
- The page contains subjective information.
- Existing content on the page lacks detail.
- You have new information to add.
If you are editing a page for a reason other than this it is probably not necessary, please try to use common sense in this scenario. Frequent editing that serves no purpose will only generate clutter in the page logs.
Editing Rules
The rules for this wiki are listed here.
If you see any content that breaches the Rules please do not edit the page. Instead go to the Page History and undo the edit in which the offending content appeared. If you notice this content reappears then please alert an administrator who can deal with the author.
