The wiki guide serves as a resource to provide useful information for TurfWiki content creators and editors. Several tools, tips and tricks are supplied as well as current praxis for editing on the wiki.

Editing praxis

It can initially be overwhelming to start editing the content on TurfWiki, but the lines of wiki code and unusual concepts are nothing to be afraid of. We have all been there who have contributed to the wiki, do not let this get in the way of your invaluable knowledge that TurfWiki needs! Dare to make big changes and experiment, it is always possible to correct things afterwards if needed. Hopefully, this article can help you get started with content creation and guide you in creating everything from high quality articles to simpler edits.

Good to know

• Creating links (external link) to other pages on TurfWiki by keyword. This makes it easy to share relevant content for the what you create.
• Categorize (external link) new articles that you create, and it will be easier to find them. You will find help for categorizing, for example, zone articles later in this article, under "Geography".
• Dare to improve content! It is perceived as a good deed to edit and improve other people's content on the wiki.
• Ask for help! If you get stuck, leave a Turf Wiki Issue via Issues page or write in the discussion page of another user for example Gor talk or Ojarnstr talk.
