The Prydon Academy/Welcome to the Academy
Hi all :)
At a bigger wiki like ours, new editors can become overwhelmed with how to even begin editing. So we're gonna try to make things easier. Every day, or just about, a new thread topic will appear in this board about a single aspect of wiki editing. It might be might proper use of grammar, or punctuation or wikitext or just one of our local rules.
Hopefully, by looking at just one thing at a time, it'll be easy for you to retain that little chunk of knowledge.
Of course, if you don't quite understand the daily message, feel free to ask for clarification or amplification. But this isn't a place to challenge what we're saying. If you don't like a rule, go to The Panopticon and try to get it changed. This space is just for explaining the way things currently work.
And, although we may occasionally talk about rules, we'll mostly be talking about relatively uncontroversial things like:
- how to properly use punctuation in certain circumstances
- how to use wikitext to your advantage
- how to use templates
If you'd like us to cover a particular topic, please feel free to leave a message on any admin's user talk page.
To keep down "highlight clutter", we're only going to highlight this first message. Check back often at The Time Lord Academy for new messages!
