Under Construction
This page is unfinished and is subject to change. |
So, you're playing shiptest and using the wiki to do something, but it's wrong. Now you wanna fix it but you don't know how. Well this silly little guide will tell you how to do it!
Basic Changes
Say you're looking at the Guide to Ghetto Chemistry and you notice that something is wrong! Maybe a word is wrong, maybe something is listed in the wrong place, whatever. Here's what you can do to remedy this and make it just a little better for the next shmuck who comes along.
Step 1: Enter edit mode.
You do this by clicking either the Edit or Edit Source button located in the top right. The Edit button puts you the visual editor and the Edit Source button puts you in source editing. To see the difference, see the glossary.
Step 2: Find where the error is and fix it.
Using the visual editor makes this easier and is recommended for most changes.
Step 3: Save your changes.
Hit the save button in the top right. This opens the save window. Write what edits you made in the summary box. If you forgot, you can hit the Review Changes button. Tick the This is a minor edit box if you made a minor edit, like fixing a typo or changing the wording to be more clear. Ticking the Watch this page box unsurprisingly watches the page, which lets you know if it's been edited.
Advanced Changes
Coming soon. For now, just complain in #wikidev on the discord or fuck around and find out.
Glossary
This'll house a list of terms relevant to editing the wiki and definitions. Soon.
Source Editor: This lets you edit an article in it's markup scheme. More robust than visual editing, but more complex and less user friendly.
Visual Editor: This allows you to edit an article while seeing the article as it appears. Not as robust as source editing, but is simple and easy to understand.
