(this is a wip)

Welcome to the Undertale Wiki! If you have doubts about how things go around here, this guide might help. If there's anything worth noting not mentioned here, feel free to edit this page for the time being. You can also try asking in the forum after reading this.

Getting Started
Read the Manual of Style for a general understanding of how articles should be written and edited.

Read the Wiki Rules.

Read about the administration.

See the site maintenance page if you're not sure what you can help with.

Etiquette
While there aren't rules for user pages, do avoid uploading images for them. Read the image policy. Do not put vulgar, obscene, or otherwise inappropriate content on articles, forums, or userpages.

Vandalism
If you find vandalism, undo the edit yourself, and check if the vandal is not blocked yet. If admins seem unactive, try reporting the vandal in this thread.

Inadequate citation
In case of finding doubtful content not properly cited, don't delete it. Instead type. Read more here.

Deleting articles
If you find an article that should get deleted for whatever reason, type. Flagging good articles for deletion is considered vandalism, so watch out.

Linking
To link, type the of the page between a pair of brackets. Example: Undertale -> Undertale

To change the link displayed, add |NAME after the page name. Example: that one game -> that one game

For links to Wikipedia, type PAGENAME. Example: Undertale -> Undertale

For links to other wikias, type w:c:WIKIANAME:PAGENAME. Example: w:c:starwars:Executor -> w:c:starwars:executor

To link to a category, add a colon after opening brackets. If the brackets are not added, it will categorize the page instead. Example: Category:Images -> Category:Images

Citing
In general, citing is to avoid justifying one's statements all the time. Some examples of this could be "According to X", "As shown in X", or "X says that". To avoid that, its easier to include a citation. Read how to cite.
