Want to become a good editor on Trollpasta Wiki? Follow these tips on how (and how not) to become a more competent editor.
Line 6 ⟶ 8:
*Making multiple edits to one page and publishing all of the changes at the end
*Adding categories that actually make sense to the article
*Removing categories from pages that violate the [[Trollpasta Wiki:Genre Listing|genre listing guidelines]]
*Marking spam pages for [[:Category:PLZ DELETE THIS NOW KTHX|deletion]]
Line 17 ⟶ 19:
==Site Maintenance==
*Always put <code><nowiki>
*If a story has the [[:Category:Pages with grammar that doesn't suck|Pages with grammar that doesn't suck]] category but also has a few grammatical and/or spelling errors, you should fix them instead of removing it, as proper spelling and grammar were the author's original intent. However, if the story also has the [[:Category:Bad Creepypasta|Bad Creepypasta]], or [[:Category:Not Sure if Troll or Trying to Be Serious|Not Sure if Troll or Trying to Be Serious]] category, the '''Pages with grammar that doesn't suck category''' should be removed.
*If you see a story uploaded from July 21, 2011 to December 31, 2012, add the [[:Category:Old Shit|Old Shit]] category to it.
Line 31 ⟶ 33:
*Images can easily be added to a page. Firstly, upload the file using [[Special:Upload]]. Then, you add it to a page like this:
**If it has a caption, then:
***<code><nowiki>[[File:
**If it doesn't have a caption, then:
***<code><nowiki>[[File:
**If the image should go in the center, then:
***<code><nowiki>[[File:
**It should be noted that the value <code><nowiki>250px</nowiki></code> is merely the default, and it can be changed. However, it is not recommended to go over 500px.
*Videos should usually only go to the bottom of a page. To add them, put <code><nowiki>
==Proper Attribution==
Line 47 ⟶ 49:
*<code><nowiki>{{by-user|USERNAME}}</nowiki></code> - For pastas written by a user on the wiki
*<code><nowiki>{{GLE}}</nowiki></code> - For pastas that were originally on Geoshea's Lost Episodes Wiki
*<code><nowiki>{{Source|LINK HERE}}</nowiki></code> - For pastas with no credited author that you found on another site. Do not add <code><nowiki>https://</nowiki></code> at the start of the link.
These are added at the bottom of a page, but above the categories.
