Note: This guide is pretty skimpy and only really useful if you've just got to tell us your brand spanking new discovery for a 15% game or something.
You'll need to register to edit or add pages; check the upper right corner for that.
To edit a page, just go to that page and then click the edit tab. Controls are basically like a forum post. There's buttons for the most common tags up top.
Internal links to other pages in this site are made by surrounding the link in double brackets like [[this]]. (Learn that one... it's much faster than the toolbar button.) Go ahead and link to non-existent pages if you wish to have other people create that page.
For external links, use the form [http://www.example.com link title]. Note that the wiki will choke on certain characters that are valid in URLs.
If you want to display something that has a special meaning to the wiki, use the <nowiki> tags. Most tags use HTML style conventions rather than BBCode conventions.
To add a page, you must edit an existing page to have link to the page you want to create. Then click that link and you'll be put directly into edit mode, since there's nothing there. By default, non-existent internal links are marked by a red link rather than blue.
Note that each page has a corresponding discussion page to talk about the article. It's one of the tabs at the top.
One thing to watch out for is that you MUST seperate paragraphs with a blank line, or the wiki will automatically put the text on the same line. Edit this page to see what I mean.
