Creating an Article
There are two ways to create an article. The first, and easiest way is to click on a red link. This is a "broken" link that leads to a non-existant article. When you click it, you will be brought to a text box into which you can enter the article's text.
The second way to create an article is to enter the article title into the search bar on the left and click "Go." If the Wiki software can't find an article with that name, it will say, "There is no page titled '(article title)'. You can create this page." Clicking "create this page" will bring up a text box into which you can type the article.
Creating a Redirect
Sometimes there are two (or more) names for an article's subject, but only one of those names is used for the title of an article. Take the article on Xbox Live's Scoreboards, for example. Scoreboards are score lists that are also known as Leaderboards. Without the existence of a redirect, if a user searches for "Leaderboards," the search page will say that there is no article named "Leaderboards," even though there is actually an article that covers Leaderboards. Because there is a redirect on the otherwise empty Leaderboards article, a search for "Leaderboards" will take the user to the Scoreboards article and display a message saying that they were redirected from the Leaderboards article.
To create a redirect, insert the following at the top of a blank article:
#REDIRECT [[target]]
...where "target" is the name of the article you want to redirect to.
Templates
GameInfo
To add an information box to a game's article, use the following template code. Be sure to fill in all the necessary information. For the fields that don't apply - Nintendo doesn't use Xbox Live, for instance - leave them blank. The template will automatically hide that field.
{{GameInfo|title=
|image=
|system=
|release=
|publisher=
|genre=
|rating=
|players=
|controller_pak=
|rumble=
|expansion=
|linkcable=
|xboxlive=
|nintendowfc=
}}
You can always look at the source of an existing game page that uses this template if you need any help or ideas using it.
ImageBox
To add a simple image box to an article, use the following code:
{{ImageBox|image=<image URL>|caption=<caption>}}
