* 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 <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>.

** To learn more about transclusions, see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Transclusion Wikipedia:Transclusion].
  
==How to help out==
 
* 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.
 
* Another helpful activity would be to check the list of '''[[Special:WantedPages|wanted pages]]''' for frequently linked-to articles that don't exist yet.
 
* When you get better, you can check the list of '''[[:Category:Page 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? ==
* If you want to discuss anything specific to an article, you can use '''[[Help:Talk page|the talk page]]''' for that article.

* 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]]'''.
+
* '''[[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.

Friendly readability and concise, structured writing. Also, to make things easier, here is the '''[[RimWorld_Wiki:Style_guide|style guide]]'''.

  • 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.
