Help — how to read, edit, and build pages on the Tenth Fleet Wiki. New here? Start with the Introduction.

Editing

  • Click Edit on any page to change it. Describe your change in the edit summary and save.
  • Practice in your user sandbox before editing live pages.
  • Wikitext basics: ''italic'', '''bold''', [[Page]] for a link, [[Page|label]] for a labelled link, and == Heading == for sections.

Building a page

  • Search for the title first to avoid duplicates.
  • Start with a bold lead sentence, add sections with headings, and finish with categories.
  • Match the conventions in the Manual of Style.

Links, categories, and images

  • Link generously to related pages; a red link marks a page that doesn't exist yet.
  • Add [[Category:Name]] at the foot of a page to file it.
  • Ask the Wiki Team about uploading images.

Templates

  • Templates such as {{Order info}} and {{News}} provide reusable formatting; see their template pages for usage.

Basic Editing

Welcome to the team! To help get you comfortable with editing the Tenth Fleet wiki, we've put together an Editing Guide (& Cheatsheet) for the basics: how to make links, section headings, lists, and tables. Some easy things to start with will be keeping tabs on redirects or disambiguation pages.

Once you've gotten comfortable with all that, you're ready to take the next steps:

  1. Learn the house style. Read the Manual of Style so your pages match the rest of the wiki. In short: put the article title in bold in the first sentence, use sentence case for headings, and abbreviate ranks and post-nominals.
  2. Know where things go. Skim Naming conventions and the Guide to layout before you create a new page.
  3. Go more in-depth. Read the Editor's Handbook in it's entirety, from start to finish. It provides a wealth of knowledge, tips & tricks.

We know, it's a lot to take in at first, but you shouldn't feel overwhelmed. Think of this page as a one-stop shop for most every function of getting help or support with writing and maintaining the Tenth Fleet Wiki. If you're still stuck or have questions, feel free to contact a team member, and we can help you out.
