Editing
This wiki is still developing due to the lack of information stated in the video games. Please help with editing the stubs on this wiki; add as much information as you can.
Edit: This option allows you to edit a single page. You will have the power to change the information that is already written. Messing up a page is called Vandalism and any user will be banned for it. If a page is Protected by a certain level, you will not be able to edit it but instead Veiw its Source.
Discussion: This will take you to the talk page. Here, you can discuss the article with others.
History: You will be able to review the article's history. You can revert edits done by others or see what has changed.
Move: When you move a page to another title, the previous title will completely redirect you to the new title. This is the most power a regular user can have.
Watch: Watching a page is automatically done when you create a page. You can choose to watch a regular article. A watched page will be added to your watchlist. Check the list to see if any changes have been made.
Delete (SysOps and Bueracrats only): Deleting a page is something admins can do to an unwanted page. Once deleted, it can be restored by another admin if the deletion of an article was purposeless.
Protect (SysOps and Bueracrats only): Protecting a page prevents vandalism and should only be done to special pages or to stop/prevent any further vandalism. Once you select protect, you will be given the option of protecting it to whereas unregistered users can't edit or only Admins can edit it.
Adminship
As a developing Wikia, there is much to be done. Please log in and make your edits so that you can be recommended for your work. Do enough work, and you can be promoted to SysOp or maybe the rare Bueracrat power. If you are new to Wikia completely, talk to an admin.
Regular
Regular users are the most common type of user on any Wikia. They only have the power to help pages by editing them or moving them. They can also watch them to see if anything has been done wrong.
System Operator
System Operators or SysOps have special rights and more options than a regular user. They can choose to protect a page or delete it. They can also block any vandal below their rank.
Bueracrat
Bueracrats are the most powerful of users. They have the same power as a SysOp but they can overrule them.
Becoming a user
Once you are an official user, you will be recommended more for your edits. You can start your userpage and edit it to your criteria and you can chat with others. You can also make subpages. They are like templates but they, like your page, can be personalized to fit your criteria. When you want someone to see your subpage, enter it in curly braces ({ }).
If you make enough edits and help out, you can be promoted to SysOp and later Bueracrat.
Vandalism
Vandalism is the act of inserting false knowledge, deleting everyting, or personalizing an article. If you vandalise, you will be banned or warned.
