* [[Help:Editing|Editing Guide]]
Welcome to the team! To help get you comfortable with editing the Tenth Fleet wiki, we've put together an [[Help:Editing|Editing Guide]] (& [[Help:Cheatsheet|Cheatsheet]]) for the basics: how to make [[Help:Editing#Links|links]], [[Help:Editing#Headings_and_sections|section headings]], [[Help:Editing#Lists|lists]], and [[Help:Editing#Tables|tables]].
* [[Help:Cheatsheet|Cheatsheet]]
 
* [[Help:Renaming_articles|Moving articles]] (AKA renaming)
Once you've gotten comfortable with all that, you're ready to take the next steps:
* [[Help:images|Displaying images]]
# '''Learn the house style.''' Read the [[TenthFleet:Manual of Style|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.
* [[Help:Tables|Displaying tables]]
# '''Know where things go.''' Skim [[TenthFleet:Naming conventions|Naming conventions]] and the [[TenthFleet:Guide to layout|Guide to layout]] before you create a new page.
* [[Help:Categories|Working with Categories]]
# '''Go more in-depth.''' Read the [[TenthFleet:Introduction|Editor's Handbook]] in it's entirety, from [[TenthFleet:Contributor%27s_guide|start]] to [[TenthFleet:Category_system|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.
