Editing an article
Click on "edit" on the top of the article. Make your changes, scroll to the bottom and click "Save Page."

View this page for further instructions on how to edit and customize your articles.

Adding an article
EXAMPLE: To submit an article about Link, change the address like so:

wiki.zeldauniverse.net/index.php?title=Main_Page -> Change to ->

wiki.zeldauniverse.net/index.php?title=Link

You can also type in a term in the Search box that has no article yet written, which would do the same as replacing the URL.

Putting an item in a category
(from Wikimedia)

A page in any namespace can be put in a category by adding a category tag, e.g.:

Category:Category name

This provides a link to the appropriate category page, which is in the namespace "Category". A category typically has an editable part, containing at least a category tag of a supercategory, see below; if it does not, the link to the category page is treated as a link to a non-existing page, hence it is a link to the edit page.

Pages can be included in more than one category by adding multiple category tags. These links do not show up in-page, but at the page margin in a fixed place, depending on the skin (the bottom for Monobook, the upper right corner for Standard). Category tags may be placed anywhere in the article, although they are typically added to the end of the article to avoid undesirable text display side effects. Category links are displayed in the order they occur in the article, unlike the automatic ordering of lists in the category pages themselves.

You can view all existing categories here.

Uploading files to the Wiki
When you go to any place on the ZW.org, you will always see the left menu Toolbox. Under the toolbox, there is an option to upload a file, conveniently titled "Upload file." Aternativly, follow this link here.

When you reach the page, click the Browse button and select the file you wish to upload. If you feel you want to, you can add a summary or short decription of the file. When you are ready, click the "Upload file" button.

The preferred formats are JPEG for photographic images, PNG for drawings and other iconic images, and OGG for sounds. Please name your files descriptively to avoid confusion. To include the image in a page, use a link in the form

  or

  or

 Media:file.ogg for sounds.

If you wish to align an image to the left or right of the text, use:

 

or if you wish to add text and make it a thumbnail

  where you replace 10 with the size you want the image to be within the article.

Please note that as with wiki pages, others may edit or delete your uploads if they think it serves the project, and you may be blocked from uploading if you abuse the system.
