* In case you need some help with editing pages, Wikipedia's "[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:How to edit a page|How to edit a page]]" article is a great source of information.

==How to help out==
+
* Transclusion: Some pages display text from another page by using a special markup to transclude it. Editing the text must be done on the page from which the text is transcluded.
* If you want to help but you're not sure where to start, try improving the various '''[[:Category:Article stubs|stub]]''' articles by adding content.
+
** For example, when editing the page Character Types you'll see <span style="font-family: monospace; font-size:130%; "><nowiki>{{:Colonist}}</nowiki></span> which is markup text that automatically copies text from the page <span style="font-family: monospace; font-size:130%; ">Colonist</span>.
* Another helpful activity would be to check the list of '''[[Special:WantedPages|wanted pages]]''' for frequently linked-to articles that don't exist yet.
+
** To learn more about transclusions, see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Transclusion Wikipedia:Transclusion].
* When you get better, you can check the list of '''[[:Category:Articles for rewrite|articles intended for rewrite]]''' and edit to make them more readable.
+
 
* To follow the changes to this wiki, and to look out for new users and edits use '''[[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]]'''.
+
 
* You can find a list of useful templates on '''[[:Category:Templates]]''', some of which are documented on '''[[{{ns:project}}:Templates]]'''.
+
== How to help out? ==
==Want to discuss stuff?==
+
 
* If you want to discuss anything specific to an article, you can use '''[[Help:Talk page|the talk page]]''' for that article.
+
* '''[[Special:RecentChanges|Recent changes]]''' shows the latest page updates in this wiki and clicking on the (diff/hist) is the easiest way to learn common practices.
* For more general discussions you can use the Discussion tab of this page, or a Forum if the forums have been set up, like this page '''[[Forum:Watercooler]]'''.
+
* '''[[:Category:Stubs|Stub]]''' articles are pages in need of additional content, an easy way to get started.
==Hot discussions==
+
* When you get better, check the list of '''[[:Category:Pages to be rewritten|pages to be rewritten]]''' and improve already filled pages that need a better "sound to noise ratio". Friendly readability and concise, structured writing. Also, to make things easier, here is the '''[[RimWorld_Wiki:Style_guide|style guide]]'''.
*[[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|Default]]
+
* Another helpful activity is to check '''[[Special:WantedPages|wanted pages]]''' list, frequently linked-to articles that don't exist yet and can be started from blank free of remarks.
*[[{{TALKPAGENAME:Main_Page}}|Main page]]
+
* Tag maintenance templates '''[[:Category:Templates]]''' or '''[[{{ns:project}}:Templates]]''' to pages that you think had been overlooked and need to be polished.
 +
* Have you made 10 edits and have been autoconfirmed? Upload and add some images! Visit '''[[Special:Upload]]'''. Add them <nowiki>[[</nowiki>[[:Category:Images]]<nowiki>]]</nowiki>.
 +
* Check for spelling and punctuation mistakes/errors.
 +
* You can also create "New pages" for missing pages but your account must have at least 10 edits beforehand, this is to prevent vandalism. If you don't meet the count yet, just perform any of the above mentioned tasks to raise your count.

  • In case you need some help with editing pages, Wikipedia's "How to edit a page" article is a great source of information.
  • Transclusion: Some pages display text from another page by using a special markup to transclude it. Editing the text must be done on the page from which the text is transcluded.
    • For example, when editing the page Character Types you'll see {{:Colonist}} which is markup text that automatically copies text from the page Colonist.
    • To learn more about transclusions, see Wikipedia:Transclusion.
