Changes

Before you start writing or editing content, you might want to glance through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page the Editing Guide at Wikipedia.org] (We are using the same wikiscript, so the same techniques apply). [[User:ChriSchaeffer|ChriSchaeffer]] has also started a "cheatsheet" for the most common codings, you can see it [[Help_talk:Editing|here]]. Another good way to learn how to use the few tricks you need is to to click the edit button on any of the content pages and look how it was done - you can also experiment with the preview feature (just remember not don't click "save" on a changes you don't mean to change stuff make). You can also experiment on your own user page, and save before do try out the buttons on top of the editing box - they can make things a lot easier! '''Most of all: don't worry about editing!''' All changes you know what make can be reversed if there's a mistake, youcan're doingt permanently destroy anything! :) Also, when you first start writing, it doesn't matter if you don't add links and styles and categories etc - someone else will come along and polish it. :) That's it for the technical side of things. The rest of this Help page is guidelines meant to help you customize your writing to fit the purposes of this particular wiki.

Be a wolf. Describe the persons and places in the present tense - unless it's someone we know from the stories that has died decades ago. Examples: Fitz is, Regal is, Burrich is. Satrap Esclepius was. So was Cabal the White. However, this is only a guideline. If you're unsure, don't let it prevent you from writing an article, someone else will come and fix it if needed.

Many of the characters are so minor that we barely know anything else but a name, hometown and profession about them- and that's ok. For the main characters, it is a good idea to use sub-headers for organizing information that covers decades of events. See Although still works-in-progress, the articles for [[Fitz|draft for Fitz]] that I've started as an example or the nicely forming , [[The Fool]] and [[Burrich]]are good examples.

It's a good idea to use the "What links here" feature in the toolbox to see what articles are linking to the one you're working with - there's probably facts you'd like to mention from the point of view of the character you're writing about. Another good tip is to write the name of the character to the search box and hit choose "searchcontaining" instead of "go" just hitting enter on any one result - this way you see where the character has been mentioned even if there's no link to your article, or the link is slighly different from what it should be.
