< Citations and Archiving Editing pages A Guide on Amboxes >

The "edit" button is found on the top right side of the page, next to the search bar. For people new to the MediaWiki suite, it is heavily recommended that you click the regular "edit" button and not the "edit source" button, as it is much more user friendly. When editing pages on the wiki, make sure that the information you are adding is relevant, accurate, and sourced (If possible). Remember, every edit helps!

Things to know

  • When editing without an account, your IP address is publically displayed. You can contact the admin on our Discord to remove it, but you cannot remove it yourself.
  • You cannot upload videos to the wiki. You have to upload it onto archive.org and embed it into articles.

Best Practice

Cite Sources!

When editing, please at least cite your sources when you make claims. If you find a claim without a source, you can insert Template:Citation Needed.

Use Amboxes!

If you want to add a special message, use Template:SpecialMessage instead of adding your own text, as the formatting can be inconsistent and amboxes just look better and are more functional.
