Help:Editing

From Tiny Tower Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

I imagine you're here because you want to help contribute to the Tiny Tower Wiki. Well, here's a start on how to do so!

Creating a page

A link colored red, such as Help:Missing Page, indicates that the associated article doesn't exist. Clicking on a red link will bring you to a page to write and save the first version of the article.

Alternatively, you can navigate to the article you want to create by searching for the full name in the search bar or entering the name in the address bar of your browser. For example, typing http://tinytowerwiki.com/index.php?title=Help:Missing_Page should achieve the same effect as clicking the red link above.

Moving a page

You can rename a page by moving it to another more appropriate name. The "Move" link at the top of the page allows you to move it. You must be logged in to be able to see the "Move" link. You cannot move a page to a name that already exists. After successfully moving a page, the old name will contain a redirect to the new name, allowing all the old links to continue to work properly. It is not necessary to purposely change all existing links to the old name to the new name, unless the old name was misleading.

Before saving changes

Once you've edited in your changes, before actually saving them, make use of the "Show preview" button to preview how your changes would look like after you saved. Avoid saving too often or saving just to see what it looks like. Each page save will generate an entry in recent changes. Repeated trivial and unnecessary saves tend to clutter up that list and inconvenience users who make use of that list to watch for vandals or misinformed edits.
