Getting started

[wacko]

The Encyclopedia Twinsunica is now a wiki; it runs on MediaWiki software, the same as Wikipedia. This has many advantages, the most important of which the ability for everyone to instantly add and edit pages.

This page is only a short summary of where to find help and where to start contributing. Most information will be located on the Twinsunica itself, or in the help sections of MediaWiki or Wikipedia.

The following article is a guideline for writing for the Twinsunica, but is also generally a good read to see what it's all about:

• Style

For general information on Wiki and how to navigate through it;

• What is a wiki?
• Navigation

For editing and adding new pages;

• You need to Sign Up before you're able to make changes.
• Editing pages
• Starting a new page
• Wikitext help
• The General Help from Wikipedia also contains a lot of information. Of course a lot there is relevant only to Wikipedia and not wikis in general.

If you'd like to actively contribute to the Twinsunica, it's a good idea to frequently visit the following pages (located in the navigation bar):

• Current Events
• Recent Changes (good to monitor others' changes and checking them, just as important as adding new material yourself)

In addition to the above links, I found the following pages very useful:

• Special Pages (located in the navigation bar)
• Wanted pages (ideal if you'd like to write new articles)
• Orphaned or 'Lonely' Pages (articles not linked from elsewhere; so links should probably be added in other articles)

You should also read the Talk sections of articles whenever they're in use.
This MBN subforum should not have to be used very often, only for important subjects or about the site in general.

This way you can create your own 'work' and do what you'd like. Let us know if you run in any trouble or are not sure about something, we're glad to help.

Good luck and have fun!
