So you wanna contribute? Perfect. This will act as a comprehensive guide on how to edit and the do's/dont's. Before editing it's extremely advised you join our Discord, we have a wiki-discussions channel which you can use to ask for help.

How To Make A Page

To make a page, in your url bar after the ?title= replace whatever is there with the name of the page you want to make, i.e ?title=Rheinmetall would take me to the Rheinmetall page so instead I want to replace Rheinmetall with the name of the new page, so if I wanted to call that page test I would do ?title=test. Then in the "There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs, or create this page." text I press "create this page" which brings me to the editor, in which I press "Save Page" at the bottom left. That is basically all there is too it, to add spaces in the page name just put _ between them, i.e ?title=test_with_spaces and the title will be "test with spaces". Please do not spam pages. Keep pages relative to a specific thing, and do not make pages that try to copy/replace or pretend to be another page, additionally when making a page for a nation that doesn't have a page yet, that is allowed but please if you can notify them in the wiki-discussions channel in the Discord.

Adding A Page To A Category

It is very simple, there is no designated place to put this but best practise is at the top, we always recommend at the top as it just makes it easier, to add a page to a category add [[Category: {category name goes here}]], remove the {} where it says category name goes here, do not put {}, i.e [[Category: Nations]] if I wanted to put a page on the Category:Nations category.

index.php?title=Category:

When using the Edit feature instead of the Edit Source feature all Categories will be broken. Just go into Edit Source and change all the [[index.php?title=Category:{category name goes here}]] to [[Category: {category name goes here}]], of course remove the {} else it wont work. This is a must, you must do this fix. If you are caught doing using Edit continuously without fixing the category you will be temporarily muted from editing.
