Page Creation
The easiest route to create a page is to simply type the name of it in the search bar at the top, and follow the link it gives you. You can also type it in your address bar or go to it through a broken link.

Please do not make a page without providing at least some actual information about it! If you see a page doesn't exist even though it should, we would prefer you do not make it if you don't actually know anything about it. An acceptable alternative is to create a red link to the page somewhere and add Template:Todo1.

The Summary box allows you to describe your changes. It's completely optional. It also has a 255 character limit, so you can make them kind of long, but not too long.

This is a minor edit marks your edit as minor. Reserve this for changes such as fixing typos. This should not be marked on any edits that change the actual information being told to readers.

Watch this page will tell the website to add the page you are editing to your watchlist.

The Show preview button allows you to see what your changes will look like before saving them. Please use this, instead of making many, many revisions to a page in rapid succession. Doing so creates clutter on edit history logs.

Show changes will summarize all the changes your current unsaved edit will make.

Click Save changes when you are done editing.

Line breaks

Italic

Tables
The syntax for wiki tables closely follows that of HTML tags. Styles

Horizontal Lines
makes a line like this:

They can be used to split things into sections, but usually that should be done with headers.

Indenting
You can indent text by putting  at the start of a line.

Signifying Code
Console commands, code, and filepaths are just some of the things we frequently format to be.

not code || not code
 * }

tags are much more common when code takes up multiple lines.

A  box can also be made by putting a space at the start of the line, which offers the advantage of inserting some formatting into the text.

&lt;syntaxhighlight> will make a  but will also color certain pieces of text based on language.
