Editing Help:Contents

{{Navbar help}}
''Welcome to {{SITENAME}}! The following help section is created and edited by wiki users, just like the rest of the wiki.''

== Experienced with RimWorld, but new to wikis? ==
* A wiki is designed to allow every user to edit its content. If you see something you think could be improved about the {{SITENAME}}, '''improve it!''' Just click the "edit" tab at the top of most pages to edit their contents. You may have to [[Special:CreateAccount|create an account]] or [[Special:UserLogin|log in]] before you'll see the "edit" tab - but it's free and takes under a minute to do.
* '''Don't be afraid to edit.''' Part of the wiki system is an integrated version tracking system, so there's never a risk of losing something. If you make a mistake, you or someone else can easily fix it - so take the initiative and make a change if you think it's useful. (Tip: when editing, you can also use the "Preview" button to check how the page will look before you save it!)
* If you need a basic guide to the formatting syntax used for editing pages, take a look at the [[Help:Basics|Basics help page]].
* If you want to experiment with wiki code someplace other than an actual article page, you can use your own [[Special:Mypage|userpage]], or the shared [[Sandbox|sandbox page]].
* Once you feel comfortable with Wiki markup, feel free to start adding your RimWorld knowledge to the many articles or take a look at the [[RimWorld_Wiki:To-do|things to do]] list.

== Experienced with wikis, but new to RimWorld? ==
* The {{SITENAME}} is designed to be a reference for all things RimWorld-related. Feel free to create articles on topics as you encounter them, and of course to use the {{SITENAME}} as a helpful guide to your RimWorld experience.
* If you've worked with Media-wiki's before, then all of the standard formatting will be familiar.

== New to everything? ==
* The best way to find information is going to [[Special:Random|a random page]]. You’ll probably find something interesting! You can also just click the random page button on the left side of all pages.
** Another way to find information you're looking for is the [[Main Page]], or using the search box at the top of the page (Note: clicking "Enter" will try to go to a page with the exact name you entered - if you want to look for keywords, click on the ''"containing..."''option in the list instead!).
* If you don't find what you're looking for, remember that the {{SITENAME}} is made up of articles contributed by its users - it might just be that no one has written about that topic yet! So [[Help:Starting a new page|create one]]!
* If you want to contribute (perhaps you found a topic that didn't have any info when you were looking for it, and now you know more about it), go for it! The [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Mediawiki editing help page] and [[mw:Help:Formatting|Formatting help page]] have the basics of how to use wiki formatting, and you can edit any page just by clicking the "edit" link at the top. If you want to create a new page, just type the name in the search box on the top right and click Enter - if it doesn't exist, you'll be given the option to edit it as new page.
* Enjoy your exploration of RimWorld!
