<p>Remember to add <code><nowiki>{{Spoiler}}</nowiki></code> to pages and sections with heavy spoilers. ''Not every new change will require a spoiler tag.'' Examples of changes that do not require a spoiler tag: price adjustments, percent chances to obtain an item, and gift preferences.</p>

Some pages, like the main page, are protected from editing. These pages have a <code>View source</code> link instead of an <code>Edit</code> link. You can still edit these pages indirectly, by submitting an "edit request"&nbsp;– by clicking on the <code>Discussion</code> link at the top left of the page and making a comment.

=== Writing Style ===
When adding content and creating new articles an encyclopedic style with a formal tone is important. Instead of essay-like, argumentative, or opinionated writing, Wiki articles should have a straightforward, just-the-facts style. The goal of a Wiki article is to create a comprehensive and neutrally written summary of existing mainstream knowledge about game aspects. Ideally all information should be cited and verifiable by reliable sources.

Editing most wiki pages is simple. The Stardew Valley Wiki uses classic editing through [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup wiki markup] (wikitext). Wiki markup editing is chosen by clicking the <samp>Edit</samp> tab at the top of a page (or on a section-edit link). This will take you to a new page containing the editable contents of the current page. Wiki markup is used extensively throughout the site for such things as hyperlinks, tables and columns, footnotes, inline citation, special characters and so on.

When you have finished editing, you should write a short edit summary in the small field below the edit box. You may use shorthand to describe your changes. To see how the page looks with your edits, press the "'''Show preview'''" button. To see the differences between the page with your edits and the previous version of the page, press the "'''Show changes'''" button. If you're satisfied with what you see, press the "'''Save page'''" button. Your changes will immediately be visible to all wiki users.

A check to the "minor edit" box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the version with your edit and the previous version: typo corrections, formatting and presentational changes, rearranging of text without modifying content, etc. A ''minor edit'' is a version that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. The "minor edit" option is one of several edit options. Editors should not feel that marking a change as minor devalues their effort.

Any change that affects the ''meaning'' of an article is technically not a minor edit, even if the edit is a single word. If you've made a minor edit and checked the "minor edit" box, then proceed to make a major edit, please ensure the box is unchecked.

=== Adding references ===
  −
Generally sources are added directly after the facts they support at the end of the sentence and after any punctuation. The Stardew Valley Wiki permits editors to use any citation system that allows the reader to understand where the information came from, and strongly encourages use of inline citations to do so. Common methods of placing inline citations include footnotes, shortened footnotes and parenthetical references.
  −
  −
Inline citations are most commonly placed by inserting a reference between <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> ... <code><nowiki></ref></nowiki></code> tags, directly in the text of an article. When one saves, that will ''display'' in the text as a footnote (''e.g.,'' <span style="font-size: smaller; color: #002BB8;"><sup>[1][2]</sup></span>), and the source you keyed in will appear on the page in a collated, numbered list corresponding to the footnote numbers in the text, wherever a template or <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code> tag is present, usually in a section titled "References" or "Notes". If you are creating a new page, or adding references to a page that didn't previously have any, don't forget to add a references section with this display markup.

=== Adding images ===
  −
A file that is already hosted on the site can be inserted with the basic code "<code><nowiki>[[File:FILENAME|thumb|DESCRIPTION]]</nowiki></code>". ("<code>Image:</code>" can be substituted for "<code>File:</code>" with no change in effect; the choice between the two is purely a matter of editorial preference.) Using "<code>thumb</code>" generates a thumbnail of an image (the most common placement option), which is typically sized differently from the original image.
