* In case you need some help with editing pages, Wikipedia's "[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:How to edit a page|How to edit a page]]" article is a great source of information.
 
* In case you need some help with editing pages, Wikipedia's "[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:How to edit a page|How to edit a page]]" article is a great source of information.
* Transclusion: Some pages display text from another page by using a special markup to transclude it. Editing the text must be done on the page from which the text is transcluded.
+
==How to help out==
** For example, when editing the page Character Types you'll see <span style="font-family: monospace; font-size:130%; "><nowiki>{{:Colonist}}</nowiki></span> which is markup text that automatically copies text from the page <span style="font-family: monospace; font-size:130%; ">Colonist</span>.
+
* If you want to help but you're not sure where to start, try improving the various '''[[:Category:Article stubs|stub]]''' articles by adding content.
** To learn more about transclusions, see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Transclusion Wikipedia:Transclusion].

* Another helpful activity would be to check the list of '''[[Special:WantedPages|wanted pages]]''' for frequently linked-to articles that don't exist yet.
 
+
* To follow the changes to this wiki, and to look out for new users and edits use '''[[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]]'''.

== How to help out? ==

+
==Hot discussions==
* When you get better, check the list of '''[[:Category:Pages to be rewritten|pages to be rewritten]]''' and improve already filled pages that need a better "sound to noise ratio". Friendly readability and concise, structured writing. Also, to make things easier, here is the '''[[RimWorld_Wiki:Style_guide|style guide]]'''.
+
*[[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|Default]]
* Another helpful activity is to check '''[[Special:WantedPages|wanted pages]]''' list, frequently linked-to articles that don't exist yet and can be started from blank free of remarks.
+
*[[{{TALKPAGENAME:Main_Page}}|Main page]]
* Tag maintenance templates '''[[:Category:Templates]]''' or '''[[{{ns:project}}:Templates]]''' to pages that you think had been overlooked and need to be polished.
 
* Have you made 10 edits and have been autoconfirmed? Upload and add some images! Visit '''[[Special:Upload]]'''. Add them <nowiki>[[</nowiki>[[:Category:Images]]<nowiki>]]</nowiki>.
 
* Check for spelling and punctuation mistakes/errors.
 
* You can also create "New pages" for missing pages but your account must have at least 10 edits beforehand, this is to prevent vandalism. If you don't meet the count yet, just perform any of the above mentioned tasks to raise your count.
