This article is to serve as an introductory guide to editing this wiki. The goal is to provide a starting point for beginning editors that wish to contribute, helping them write articles with the consistency, clarity, and precision readers expect.
== FAQ ==
* '''Q: How do I create a page?'''
Search for desired page name and press the central red link. You must create an account to edit.
* '''Q: How do I upload pictures?'''
There is an 'upload file' link in the left sidebar under 'Tools'. Try to have your filename contain keywords: Files can then be easily searched using [[Special:ListFiles]] or [[Special:NewFiles]]. Ensure you attribute images : This can be as simple as writing authors name in summary when uploading
* '''Q: How do I format my page?'''
Click the help button in editor toolbar to see basic syntax of links and formatting. Use <code><nowiki>{{Template:Civilization}}</nowiki></code> for a basic template. For examples and inspiration find a page in the [[Welcome to the Civclassic Wiki#Model pages|Model or Good Pages section]] and press edit in the top right. Copy the item you want and surrounding brackets: i.e. <code><nowiki>{{infobox ... }}</nowiki></code>. Additionally, when creating info boxes try to keep consistent with categories and order of other info boxes. Some specific formatting examples can be found in [[Editing guide#tips]]
