Getting Started

There are many things you can do, or not do, it's really up to you.

Browse the pages

As time passes, more and more code pages and other useful pages will sprout up. Even if you do not like to personally contribute, there's still plenty for you here. The search to the left will help you efficiently find what you're looking for.

Add or correct info

Those that are adding the info boxes could make a mistake, such as putting the wrong ID, or entirely leaving it out due to not knowing it. If you do know it, you could edit that and help the community.
While making the pages, a mistake could be made, such as a mistake in a heading, or text. You could edit the page and fix that little error.

Using the discussion pages

Every page has the possibility for a discussion page. You'll notice there's a tab at the top next to the tab that says "page." The tab will read "discussion." If the word is read, that means a discussion page doesn't yet exist, and you can make one.

Making a discussion page

All discussion pages should look the same. Which is really not hard to do.

1. Click the discussion tab.
   
2. You will see format *box next to it*. In the box, click "Heading 2."
   
3. Type a title for your question or topic.
   
4. Now click below that and type whatever it is you would like to say.
   
5. At the end of your paragraph/sentence, type 4 tilde (~). That will add your screenname.
   

Posting on an existing dicussion page

1. Click the discussion tab.
   
2. Click the "edit" tab next to the discussion tab.
   
3. Go to the bottom of the page.
   
4. Follow steps 2-5 of Making a discussion page.
   

Replying to a discussion or question

1. Click the discussion tab.
   
2. Click the edit tab.
   
3. Click the edit next to the question/topic you want to reply to.
   
4. Change view to "Wikitext". The button is in the top left corner of the editor.
   
5. To post your reply, type beneath what they wrote, add a colon before what you type.
   
6. At the end of your paragraph/sentence, type 4 tilde (~). That will add your screenname.
