Help:Templates

Some of you might not be familiar with editing a Wiki, so this page is designed to give you a quick lesson. It won't go into any great detail, but it will teach you enough to let you help out by contributing pages to the site.

Quick Start

For convenience, we have created a set of templates for use getting a quick start on standard types of pages. These templates will give you a frame to build the page around; simply read the comments and follow their instructions to populate the page. Just follow one of the red links to a new, blank page. Then put in the appropriate template line from the table below and save. Then simply edit the page again and add all the appropriate information.

 For this kind of article,             type in this template and save
 Character                             {{subst:CharacterArticleTemplate}} 
 Episode                               {{subst:EpisodeArticleTemplate}}
 Place                                 {{subst:PlaceArticleTemplate}}
 Planet                                {{subst:PlanetArticleTemplate}}
 Organization                          {{subst:OrganizationArticleTemplate}}
 Alien Species                         {{subst:AlienSpeciesArticleTemplate}}
 Crew                                  {{subst:CrewArticleTemplate}}
 Misc (ships, technologies, etc)       {{subst:MiscArticleTemplate}}

If you want to know what articles are needed, you can view a list of wanted articles (a wanted article is an article that hasn't been written yet, but is linked to by another page.) You can get to this list at any time from the Main page or from the "Special Pages" page.
