I want to EDIT an Article

Contributing to the wiki is simple; check out our Getting Started guide to get started, the Lets_RP_Wiki:Editing/Cheat_sheet page for a syntax guide, or practice in your own Sandbox to get the hang of wikicode; or simply take a chance and edit your first article!

Don't be afraid to edit any page that needs updates, fixes, or more content; we would rather that you created an article with simple, limited content and request some assistance than to create no article at all.

I want to Create a New Article or Upload Images

First, use the search feature to confirm that there are no pages which currently cover your topic; it's always better to improve an existing article rather than create a new one if they contain similar information.

If it doesn't exist, then simply Search for the exact name you want the page to have, and click the red link that appears at the top of the results.

Not sure what to create? Take a look at Wanted Pages for a list of pages that have been linked to but not yet created for ideas!

For uploading images, simply follow the Upload Wizard by clicking "Upload File" in the sidebar to the left.

Help:Editing

How can I HELP?

Easy! The simplest thing to do is read through our big pages (Like Characters or Factions or Businesses) and see if it reads well. Is the page easy to understand? Laid out well? Are there enough or too many images? Is it linked to other important pages? Characters, especially, always need new information as more are released.

Beyond small fixes, take a look through our Tasks page to see what the bigwigs are working on.
