Welcome to wiki.gg! This page will take you through your very first steps.

Create or reclaim your account

On most of the wikis, you will need a wiki account to edit the wiki. To create an account, go to Special:CreateAccount or click the "Create account" link located on right side of the wiki.gg header.

If you already have an account, don't forget to log in.

Make an edit

There are two ways to edit a page

Source editor

This is the default editor, available on all wikis. Before you start editing, we recommend checking the formatting page or use the "Help" tab in the editor for assistance.

Visual editor (only some wikis)

If the wiki has visual editor enabled, you will see 2 edit links - to "Edit" and to "Edit source". You can launch into the visual editor by clicking the "Edit" link.

Creating a page

In addition to editing existing pages, you can also create a page. We recommend reading the article on how to create a page.

Other important information

  • Before saving, make sure to hit Show preview and/or Show changes buttons to review your edit.
  • If you want to experiment with wikitext, do so on wiki's sandbox page or on the sandbox wiki.
  • Refer to wiki's style guide and rules.
  • We recommend using a spelling/grammar checker (e.g. Grammarly, MS Editor).
  • If your edit gets reverted, you do not need to be worried. Everybody makes mistakes. In most cases, the editor will let you know in the edit's summary or on your talk page what was wrong.
  • Have fun!
