Wiki markup editing is chosen by clicking the <tt>Edit</tt> 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. |

| − | Some pages, like the main page, are protected from editing. These pages are denoted by a lock icon on the top right of the page and, if you are not allowed to edit the page, have a <code>View source</code> tab instead of an <code>Edit</code> tab. You can still edit these pages indirectly, by submitting an "edit request" – an editor with the ability to edit the protected page will respond to your request. You can submit a request by clicking on the <code>View source</code> tab on that page and using the "Submit an edit request" link at the bottom right.

| − | 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.
