Contents
What can I do to help?
- If you're missing anything, just make an account, and then start editing and edit! If you are not familiar with the wiki-syntax, don't be afraid, we'll help you and add markup as needed.
- We aren't covering all topics relevant for KSP yet. Some pages we need may be found with Special:WantedPages
- Improve short articles. You can find them with the special page ShortPages or Category:Stubs.
- Add screenshots. Pictures can make an article more interesting, but don't overdo it. You'll need to register before you may upload files, Category:Pages with a to do list will also help to find those articles which really need some attention.
- Help us to combat spam. You might wish to use some of the templates found in this spam-fighting tutorial: Kerbal Space Program Wiki:Fighting spam.
Stuff to do for experienced users
- Keep an eye on the RecentChanges and revert bad changes and spam.
- Wikify articles, i.e. add links, wiki markup, clean up layout etc.
- Be nice to our new users :)
- Use SpecialPages to find broken things, and then fix them. For example, with Special:BrokenRedirects, you can find redirects that lead to nothing.
- Update pages with the Template:outdated template in use.
- Watch the Helpdesk and answer the questions if you can.
