This is a simple guide about the special markup language used to edit RimWorld Wiki, and is not a full guide. RimWorld Wiki runs MediaWiki with the Semantic extension.
Creating Pages
With a brand new account, you will need at least 10 edits to be able to make pages. This is an anti-spam bot measure.
Check out the Special Pages area to see articles that could use links, pictures, categories, etc. Fixing up grammar and spelling on pages is always appreciated as well, and is also an easy way to get your 10 edits.
