Welcome
We're happy you've shown interest in contributing to the wiki. We welcome all editors and assume good faith for all edits made, so there are very few protected pages. Don't be afraid to jump in and start correcting and adding to pages.
Edit Verses Edit Source?
Recently we've made editing the wiki much easier by implementing new infrastructure to make contributing as stream line as possible. A visual editor has been added that will help beginners get started on editing the wiki without having to learn wiki code. In order to begin using this new form of editing, click on Edit on the top right. Copy and pasting wiki source code will also be automatically be converted as well.
For more veteran wiki developers who prefer using wiki code that option is still here and can be found within Edit source which is to the right of the Edit icon.
New pages
New content is constantly being added to ss13 which needs tutorials and such. Before you start to write a page, search for it and if you can't find it, start one yourself. We welcome all contributions to the wiki and trust all edits to be made in good faith. As a recommendation if you wish to work on a page uninterrupted and not worry about other users edits while working, make it in your personal sandbox area or anywhere in your own pages. If you don't know wikicode, you can create a unformatted page and ask someone else to format it for you.
Content revisions
A list of pages which need revisions can be found here.
Updates are frequent and we need people to update the information on the wiki. To do this simply edit the page with new information. If you don't know wikicode you can write the new, updated content on the discussion page without formatting, or you can use the visual wiki editor.
Images
Uploading new images
If you have new, relevant images then upload them and add them to the page they're intended for. It is appreciated if the pictures of items you add have a blank background and are in the .gif or .png format. The easiest way to add images of items is to download the source code, open the icons .dmi files and export images as .gif's or .png's from there.
