=== First-Time Editors === | |||
If you are anxious about editing a wiki for the first time, don't be. If you are adding missing information, there is very little you can do wrong. A wiki page is designed to be a malleable document that can easily be edited and corrected, and usually should be. Any mistakes can easily be corrected by another editor, and the few things that might have repercussions are automatically locked behind permissions. | |||
If you are unsure about your edit for any reason, you can leave a relevant comment on the talk page, via the 'Discussion' tab at the top of any page you are editing, or ask for guidance in the wiki Discord server. If you are acting in good-faith, and contributions are welcome. Read on for the specifics on how to make your first edit. | |||
