FalloutWiki:Style Guide

The Style Guide is an introduction to editing and helping out on the Independent Fallout Wiki! We are really glad to have your help and look forward to working with you.

Editing Pages
So you've found a page that you want to edit. To do this, go to the top of the page and click the option that says Edit. This pulls up the editing box with all the code of the page. From here, edit the article. Don't save just yet, as you'll want to make sure that the edit looks the way you want it to.

From here, click Show Preview underneath the edit box. This will allow you to see the edits before you save them. Check to make sure that everything is in order and describe your edits in the Edit Summary box. Then click Save Page, which will send your edit to the Moderation queue to be approved. After editing for a short period of time, you will be granted the Automoderated permission which means your edits publish immediately.

Basic Steps

 * 1) Click Edit and make the changes in the edit box.
 * 2) Change the Edit Summary to detail the edit you've made.
 * 3) Click Show Preview and make sure the edit looks good.
 * 4) Click Save Page.
