Placing new pages in appropriate categories is very helpful.  Category naming follows the same rules as page naming, but use plural nouns when appropriate.  [[Category:Midgaard Mobs|Midgaard Mobs]], [[Category:Tiers|Tiers]] and [[Category:Hero Tank Gear|Hero Tank Gear]] are some example categories.  More specific categories are better places to put new pages.  Note that when you're naming a Category, you have to precede its name with "Category:".

At the moment we are establishing some basic layout for organizing information. If you have something to add, but aren't sure where it belongs, just do your best. If we feel that the information is relevant somewhere else, we'll add a link.

We have some simple guidelines in place for naming new pages. Omit any articles ("the" "a" "an") at the beginning of a name. Also, capitalize each word in a multi-word title.

Placing new pages in appropriate categories is very helpful. Category naming follows the same rules as page naming, but use plural nouns when appropriate. Midgaard Mobs, Tiers and Hero Tank Gear are some example categories. More specific categories are better places to put new pages. Note that when you're naming a Category, you have to precede its name with "Category:".

From there the Wiki software does a good job of explaining the editing features. You can also use simple HTML to format a page if you'd like. If you can't figure something out, try looking here
