Using the Wiki

== Using the Wiki ==
We understand that a wiki may be an intimidating thing to many members, with the “official” feeling of having website links and pages, but fear not! We are here to help you get involved with the wiki as much as you find comfortable or able! Creating a Wikia account is the first step in doing anything on the wiki like editing, creating, sharing, and commenting. On your account, you have the option to share information about yourself or your persona/avatar. Now that you have made an account, you may edit as you please, but please be conscientious about other peoples’ works on the wiki and try not to edit anything they may have written without their consent! We understand that mistakes happen, however, which is the great thing about the Wikia format in that it is easy to retrace steps. Nothing will ever get truly deleted or altered permanently and the fluidity of this allows for any type of editing to happen! If for instance you want to revert back to a previous version of your page, be it a lore or character page or some other, you can simply look at the editing history of that page and make revisions that way! Only those with adminship on the wiki can actually do anything permanent on the wiki such as page deletion or protection, but even then there are methods to take those back if a mistake is made. At least regular members don’t have to worry about their pages being permanently deleted or vandalized!
While Admins from the group are the most responsible for the wiki maintenance, it is important to have all members involved if they want to be in the wiki process in which it would be helpful for the group if members did small things on their own on the wiki! Some optional tasks are to post your own character template, help a member post their template, post a lore page, or a roleplay page. All of these can be done by contributing a page as seen on the main home page of the wiki, then naming the page and putting the information in. That’s it, easy! If at any point this process seems confusing or the format isn’t understood, contact an admin and they will help run you through it! Of course it is not required for members to post templates or pages up, but extending help on the wiki would be a great way to feel more involved in the repository process!
