Editing UnderWiki:Getting Started

{{tocright}}
Welcome to [[UnderWiki]], a wiki written collectively by the members of the {{UA}} community. If you want to find out how to improve a page by adding content, updating the information or even fixing grammar, this page is designed to guide you through your first steps as a contributor.

== Things to avoid ==
Before you start editing UnderWiki, you might want to familiarize yourself with the site guidelines: ''UnderWiki articles should not'' 

* contain links to third party websites '''''unless''''' they are acknowledged by the {{UA}} team members in an official platform.
* be about yourself, your website, a guild you're in, your guildmaster, or a story you wrote. 
* promote a product or commercial websites.
* advocate a point of view.
* have personal attacks, including racial, ethnic, sexual, gender-related and religious slurs, and derogatory references to groups such as social classes or nationalities. They should also be free of insults, name-calling, gross profanity or indecent suggestions.


Furthermore, UnderWiki should not be used to

* inform users any exploit, error, miscue, bug in the game that might give players an unintended advantage.
* inform users of ''auto'', ''macro'' and/or ''cheat'' applications in violation of the [[OtherSide Entertainment]] [http://www.othersideentertainment.com/forum/index.php?topic=560.0 ToS].
* violate any applicable laws or regulations, or promote or encourage any illegal activity including, but not limited to, hacking, cracking or distribution of counterfeit software, or cheats or hacks for {{UA}} or any other service.
* violate the rights of any party including rights of privacy.


== How to edit a page ==
You can edit any page unless they are protected. This can be done by simply clicking on the "edit" tab at the top of the page which brings the editable text (source) of the current page. From there, you can type in the text that you want to add, using wiki markup to format the text and add other elements like images and tables.

=== Wiki Markup ===

== Creating your first article ==
Only registered users can create a new article. Before you create one, you might want to try editing existing articles to get a feel for using wiki markup language. Make sure there is not an article with the same title or subject as the one you wish to create and the subject is suitable for the wiki: [[UnderWiki]] only covers subjects related to {{UA}}.  If you search for an article that does not exist you can create it by clicking the [[UnderWiki:redlink|redlink]] beside the text: '''Create the page "[[UnderWiki:Broken Link|Searched Term]]" on this wiki!'''.

=== Title for your new article ===
UnderWiki uses title case for article names. When writing a name, use capital first letters for all words except for articles, prepositions, and conjunctions unless one of them is the first word. 

==== Examples ====

* [[Rotworm Skin Swamp Boots]] (not ''Rotworm skin swamp boots'' or ''rotworm skin swamp boots'')

=== Page layout ===
UnderWiki articles generally follow the following structure:

{| class="wikitable"
!Introductory sentence:
|"''The knight '''Cabirus''' is among the first to brave the Stygian Abyss. Thereafter, he wanted to establish a colony within the Abyss, and nearly did so. However, Cabirus died unexpectedly, and his fledgling colony broke apart. ''"

=== Sources ===
:''Main article: [[UnderWiki:Citations]]''
In general, pieces of information that can be easily verified by logging in {{UA}} do not need citations. On the other hand, the technical aspects or the inner mechanics of the game should be properly sourced. Never copy and paste text from another source into an article, UnderWiki requires all original work to be attributed to the source, or the result is plagiarism.
