We need an edit guide

Viper007Bond · November 5th, 2008, 11:55 PM

I want to post on the front page asking for more help with the Wiki. However we need to have a page on the wiki that covers how to help out, the episode format, etc.

Any URL/title suggestions? Hell, any content suggestions?

I thought we pointed people to the wiki.com editing guide, but maybe not. We need to let them know how episode pages should look, what all the brackets, quotation marks and dashes mean and maybe a short guide on screenshots, although I consider that my field.

What needs doing anyway? it's slowly building up, i'll have to get working on it a bit more. images/smilies/smile.gif

We don't have guides for any of the Fifth Gear episodes really. Also, do we have TG S12 or TG Aus?

Started on a guide, but it's midnight now. Do we allow light swearing on the wiki as we do on the forum? I put the word toss in.

Also, can we get hold of a 'new page' button. There isn't one, which is irritating because I have to edit an existing page, add a link to a non-existent page, edit it and then cancel the edit of the other page. Arse about or what?!

Toss as in heads or tails - so its OK IMHO.

That's my point, I meant it as 'to give a toss.'

I said 'general toss'.

Still OK - camouflage!

I'd like to work on that.
Would you like to train a NooB?
