'''[[WikiPorno:Plunge forward|You]]''' can edit any article on WikiPorno by clicking the '''edit''' link. You'll get a browser text-entry box with the current contents of the page formatted in [[WikiPorno:Wiki markup|Wiki markup]].
Welcome to the exciting world of [[WikiPorno]].  On a wiki, it is customary to allow readers to edit content and structure. This is a brief overview of the editing process. With your help we will make the best and most accurate library of adult articles available on the internet!


You can modify the page ''however you want'', but anything you add ''must'' be compatible with the WikiPorno [[WikiPorno:copyleft|copyleft]]. It helps the rest of us if you follow our [[WikiPorno:policies and guidelines|policies and guidelines]] and [[WikiPorno:manual of style|manual of style]], but don't let that stop you from [[WikiPorno:plunge forward|plunging forward]]. It's more important that you add ''something'' than that you do it ''perfectly''.

==Previewing & saving a page==
== Editing basics ==


To see what your changes will look like, hit the '''Show preview''' button, which ''will not save the page''. Do a preview just before saving the page, to make sure your changes look right. When you're happy with the changes, hit the '''Save page''' button to save the page.
===First Sign-up For An Account===
To begin editing, sign-up for a user name (click in the upper right corner). Remember, you have to be logged in to edit. It's quick, easy, and free to get an account.


You can cancel your edits by clicking the '''Cancel''' link, and of course '''Editing help''' brings you here.
The reason that we require you to sign up for an account first is to cut down on the massive amount of wiki spam that we get.


Beneath the article editing text box is a short field labelled '''Summary'''. This is for putting a short note about what you've done to an article, such as "added Ao Shai To hotel details" or "spelling 'miserible' -> 'miserable'" or "took out obsolete detour directions to Spanish Steps". It can be helpful for people who are looking at the [[WikiPorno:Recent changes help|Recent changes]] or [[WikiPorno:Page history help|Page history]] pages to quickly see what you did.
===Review policy and conventions===
:Make sure that you submit information which is relevant to the [[Star Wars]] theme of the wiki, or your content might be deleted. You can always use the [[m:Help:Talk page|talk pages]] to ask questions or check to see if your idea will be accepted.


If you've edited a page but it doesn't seem to have changed you should probably look at [[Special:Recentchanges]], since it is likely that someone has done a rollback of your change, and may have given an informative reason.
===Start editing===
:To start editing a page, click the '''Edit''' link. This brings you to the edit page: a page with a text box containing the ''[[Wikipedia:wikitext|wikitext]]'' - the editable code from which the server produces the finished page. ''If you just want to experiment, please do so in the [[{{ns:4}}:Sandbox|Jundland Wastes sandbox]], not here''.


==Using the check boxes==
===Type your changes===
:You can just type your text. However, also using basic wiki markup (examples of which can be found below) adds to the value of your contribution.


If you are [[Special:userlogin|logged in]] to a [[WikiPorno:How to create a user account|user account]] there will be a '''This is a minor edit''' checkbox for marking your changes as "minor". The idea with this is that people reviewing page history or recent changes can filter out unimportant changes. It's up to you to determine what makes your changes "minor" -- usually, spelling corrections, grammar, or formatting changes are "minor", and changes to the real information on a page are not.
===Summarize your changes===
:Write a short [[m:Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] in the small field below the edit-box. You may use shorthand to describe your changes, as described in Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Edit summary legend|edit summary legend]].
 
===Preview before saving===
:When you have finished, click '''[[m:Help:Show preview|Show preview]]''' to see how your changes will look '''before''' you make them permanent.  Repeat the edit/preview process until you are satisfied, then click '''Save page''' and your changes will be immediately applied to the article.
 
===Dummy edit and null edit===
:If the wikitext is not changed, no edit will be recorded and the edit summary is discarded. A '''dummy edit''' is a change in wikitext that has no effect on the rendered page, such as changing the number of [[Wikipedia:newline|newline]]s at some position from 0 to 1 or from 2 to 3 or conversely (changing from 1 to 2 makes a difference, see below). This allows an edit summary, and is useful for correcting a previous edit summary, or an accidental marking of a previous edit as "minor" (see below).
 
:To refresh the cache of some item in the database a lesser kind of dummy edit, called a '''null edit''', may be sufficient: one that does not cause any change in the wikitext, and no entry in the history, in Recent Changes, etc.: this can be done by opening the edit window and saving; a section edit is sufficient.
 
===Using the check boxes===
 
====Minor edits====
:When editing a page, a logged-in user has the option of flagging the edit as a "minor edit". This feature is important, because users can choose to ''hide'' minor edits in their view of the [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]] page, to keep the volume of edits down to a manageable level.
 
:Deciding when to use this feature is a matter of personal preference. The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that consists of spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a "minor edit". A major edit is basically something that makes the entry worth revisiting for somebody who wants to watch the article rather closely. So any "real" change, even if it is a single word, should be flagged as a "major edit".
 
:The reason for not allowing a user who is not logged in to mark an edit as minor is that vandalism could then be marked as a minor edit, in which case it would stay unnoticed longer. This limitation is another reason to log in.


The '''Watch this article''' checkbox puts this article on your [[WikiPorno:Watchlist help|watchlist]]. Any changes to the article, or to the article's talk page, by you or anyone else will show up in your watchlist, so you can keep an eye on the article.

==Starting new pages==
===Creating a New Article===
If you are starting a new page from scratch, please make use of our '''[[WikiPorno:Article templates|templates]]''' which helps to organize the information on a page and give a consistent look. See [[WikiPorno:How to start a new page]] for more information.
Creating a new article is simple as well.
#First, search to make sure a similar article doesn't already exist.  To search, use the search box on the left side of the screen.
#If the article does not already exist, use the create new article box on the left side of the screen and type in the new articles title.  Be sure to follow our article naming convention!  The convention is '''"What do you want to do?  I want to __article__name__."'''
#Begin editing!

==Wiki markup==
In the left column of the table below, you can find a series of [[Wikipedia:Wiki markup|Wiki markup]] examples. In the right column, you can see the resulting output. In other words, to make text look like it looks in the right column, type it in the format you see in the left column. You may want to keep this page open in a separate browser window for reference. If you want to try out things without danger of doing any harm, you can do so in the [[Sandbox]].

==Templates==
{{see also|Help:Templates}}
:Templates are segments of Wiki markup that are meant to be automatically ("transcluded") into a page. You add them by putting the template's name in <nowiki>{{double braces}}</nowiki>. Some templates take ''parameters'', as well, which you separate with the pipe character.
 
:''For a list of available templates, see: [[Wikiporno:Templates]]''
 
==Tips and tricks==
===Page protection===
:In a few cases, where an [[Wikiporno:Administrators|Administrator]] has [[m:Help:Administration#Page_protection|protected]] a page, the link labeled "Edit" is replaced by the text "View source". In that case, the page can only be edited by an administrator. Protection of an image page includes protection of the image itself. To ask that a page be either protected or unprotected, see [[Wikiporno:Requests for protection]].
 
===Edit conflicts===
:If someone else makes an edit while you are making yours, the result is an [[m:Help:Edit conflict|edit conflict]]. Many conflicts can be automatically resolved by the Wiki. If it can't be resolved, however, you will need to resolve it yourself. The Wiki gives you two text boxes, where the top one is the other person's edit and the bottom one is your edit. Merge your edits into the top edit box, which is the only one that will be saved.
 
===Reverting===
:The edit link of a page showing an old version leads to an edit page with the old wikitext. This is a useful way to [[m:Help:Reverting a page to an earlier version|restore the old version]] of a page. However, the edit link of a [[m:Help:Diff|diff]] page gives the current wikitext, even if the diff page shows an old version below the table of differences.
 
===Error messages===
:If you get an error message upon saving a page, you can't tell whether the actual save has failed or just the confirmation. You can go back and save again, and the second save will have no effect, or you can check "My contributions" to see whether the edit went through.
 
===Check spelling & user an editor===
:You may find it more convenient to copy and paste the text first into your favorite [[Wikipedia:text editor|text editor]], edit and spell check it there, and then paste it back into your [[Wikipedia:web browser|web browser]] to preview. This way, you can also keep a local backup copy of the pages you have edited. It also allows you to make changes offline.
 
:If you edit this way, it's best to leave the editing page open after you copy from it, using the same edit box to submit your changes, so that the usual edit conflict mechanism can deal with it. If you return to the editing page later, please make sure that nobody else has edited the page in the meantime. If someone has, you'll need to merge their edits into yours by using the [[m:Help:diff|diff]] feature in the page history.

Welcome to the exciting world of WikiPorno. On a wiki, it is customary to allow readers to edit content and structure. This is a brief overview of the editing process. With your help we will make the best and most accurate library of adult articles available on the internet!

Editing basics

First Sign-up For An Account

To begin editing, sign-up for a user name (click in the upper right corner). Remember, you have to be logged in to edit. It's quick, easy, and free to get an account.

The reason that we require you to sign up for an account first is to cut down on the massive amount of wiki spam that we get.

Review policy and conventions

Make sure that you submit information which is relevant to the Star Wars theme of the wiki, or your content might be deleted. You can always use the talk pages to ask questions or check to see if your idea will be accepted.

Start editing

To start editing a page, click the Edit link. This brings you to the edit page: a page with a text box containing the wikitext - the editable code from which the server produces the finished page. If you just want to experiment, please do so in the Jundland Wastes sandbox, not here.

Type your changes

You can just type your text. However, also using basic wiki markup (examples of which can be found below) adds to the value of your contribution.

Summarize your changes

Write a short edit summary in the small field below the edit-box. You may use shorthand to describe your changes, as described in Wikipedia's edit summary legend.

Preview before saving

When you have finished, click Show preview to see how your changes will look before you make them permanent. Repeat the edit/preview process until you are satisfied, then click Save page and your changes will be immediately applied to the article.

Dummy edit and null edit

If the wikitext is not changed, no edit will be recorded and the edit summary is discarded. A dummy edit is a change in wikitext that has no effect on the rendered page, such as changing the number of newlines at some position from 0 to 1 or from 2 to 3 or conversely (changing from 1 to 2 makes a difference, see below). This allows an edit summary, and is useful for correcting a previous edit summary, or an accidental marking of a previous edit as "minor" (see below).
To refresh the cache of some item in the database a lesser kind of dummy edit, called a null edit, may be sufficient: one that does not cause any change in the wikitext, and no entry in the history, in Recent Changes, etc.: this can be done by opening the edit window and saving; a section edit is sufficient.

Using the check boxes

Minor edits

When editing a page, a logged-in user has the option of flagging the edit as a "minor edit". This feature is important, because users can choose to hide minor edits in their view of the Recent Changes page, to keep the volume of edits down to a manageable level.
Deciding when to use this feature is a matter of personal preference. The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that consists of spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a "minor edit". A major edit is basically something that makes the entry worth revisiting for somebody who wants to watch the article rather closely. So any "real" change, even if it is a single word, should be flagged as a "major edit".
The reason for not allowing a user who is not logged in to mark an edit as minor is that vandalism could then be marked as a minor edit, in which case it would stay unnoticed longer. This limitation is another reason to log in.

The Watch this article checkbox puts this article on your watchlist. Any changes to the article, or to the article's talk page, by you or anyone else will show up in your watchlist, so you can keep an eye on the article.

The default setting -- whether these checkboxes are checked or not by default -- can be set in your user preferences.

Creating a New Article

Creating a new article is simple as well.

  1. First, search to make sure a similar article doesn't already exist. To search, use the search box on the left side of the screen.
  2. If the article does not already exist, use the create new article box on the left side of the screen and type in the new articles title. Be sure to follow our article naming convention! The convention is "What do you want to do? I want to __article__name__."
  3. Begin editing!
  4. If you are starting a new page from scratch, please make use of our templates which helps to organize the information on a page and give a consistent look. See how to start a new page for more information.

Wiki markup

In the left column of the table below, you can find a series of Wiki markup examples. In the right column, you can see the resulting output. In other words, to make text look like it looks in the right column, type it in the format you see in the left column. You may want to keep this page open in a separate browser window for reference. If you want to try out things without danger of doing any harm, you can do so in the Sandbox.

Basic formatting

Wiki markup Output 
You can ''italicize text'' by
putting 2 apostrophes on each side. 

3 apostrophes will bold '''the text'''.

5 apostrophes will bold and italicize 
'''''the text'''''.

Preformatted text

A few different kinds of formatting will tell the Wiki software to display your text just as you typed it.

Wiki markup Output 
<nowiki>
The nowiki tag ignores 
[[Wiki]] ''markup''.
It reformats text by 
removing
newlines    and multiple
 spaces.
It still interprets special
characters: &rarr;
</nowiki>

Leading spaces are another way
to preserve formatting.

 Putting a space at the
 beginning of each
 line stops the text   
 from being
 reformatted.  It still 
 interprets [[Wiki]]

Templates

Template:See also

Templates are segments of Wiki markup that are meant to be automatically ("transcluded") into a page. You add them by putting the template's name in {{double braces}}. Some templates take parameters, as well, which you separate with the pipe character.
For a list of available templates, see: Wikiporno:Templates

Tips and tricks

Page protection

In a few cases, where an Administrator has protected a page, the link labeled "Edit" is replaced by the text "View source". In that case, the page can only be edited by an administrator. Protection of an image page includes protection of the image itself. To ask that a page be either protected or unprotected, see Wikiporno:Requests for protection.

Edit conflicts

If someone else makes an edit while you are making yours, the result is an edit conflict. Many conflicts can be automatically resolved by the Wiki. If it can't be resolved, however, you will need to resolve it yourself. The Wiki gives you two text boxes, where the top one is the other person's edit and the bottom one is your edit. Merge your edits into the top edit box, which is the only one that will be saved.

Reverting

The edit link of a page showing an old version leads to an edit page with the old wikitext. This is a useful way to restore the old version of a page. However, the edit link of a diff page gives the current wikitext, even if the diff page shows an old version below the table of differences.

Error messages

If you get an error message upon saving a page, you can't tell whether the actual save has failed or just the confirmation. You can go back and save again, and the second save will have no effect, or you can check "My contributions" to see whether the edit went through.

Check spelling & user an editor

You may find it more convenient to copy and paste the text first into your favorite text editor, edit and spell check it there, and then paste it back into your web browser to preview. This way, you can also keep a local backup copy of the pages you have edited. It also allows you to make changes offline.
If you edit this way, it's best to leave the editing page open after you copy from it, using the same edit box to submit your changes, so that the usual edit conflict mechanism can deal with it. If you return to the editing page later, please make sure that nobody else has edited the page in the meantime. If someone has, you'll need to merge their edits into yours by using the diff feature in the page history.
