| + | '''Be bold!''' Wiki articles improve over time with '''your''' help. | ||
| + | To improve a wiki article, you can do any of the following: | ||
| + | |||
| + | *Add relevant information. | ||
| + | *Add external links, relevant forum discussions, resources, or book references. | ||
| + | *Cleanup formatting, spelling, and grammar. | ||
| + | *Remove first-person references (articles shouldn't use "I" -- try converting it into second-person "you" instead). | ||
| + | *Check for technical accuracy. | ||
| + | *[[Adding images|Add images]]. | ||
| + | *Add wikitext -- search for words that can be linked up to other wiki articles. For example, if an article contains the word "rust", you can turn it into a link by enclosing it in brackets, like this: <nowiki>[[rust]]</nowiki>. That will turn it into a link to the Rust article, like this: [[rust]]. | ||
