¶ Getting Started
Now that you've got an account on the wiki and know the rules, time to start building out your world. Generally speaking, the way to start is just by making your first page for any part of your project. Don't worry too much about the structure as pages can be edited and moved around after the fact if needed. Simply click the ‘New Page’ button at the top right of the page, pick a project name and begin by using the following standard; /[Project Name]/[Page Name]. You can also create mutliple layers to pages and the wiki will automatically create the folder structure; "/Darkest-Future/Cities/Bladefall-Keep". The ‘Darkest-Future’ or ‘Cities' page doesn't need to exist prior and can be made after the fact, or left as folders if desired.
To help you along and as mentioned in the fourth rule, there is a selection of page templates that can be used in the creation of your pages. This is to ensure that all information brough into the wiki cab be easily found and understood. There is obviously edge cases in which the current templates can't be used, but for the most part, there should be a template that can be used for any given page you wish to create. Further information about the available templates can be found here or by selecting it in the navigation bar on the left side. The last thing to consider when creating content within the wiki is the timeline in which any of your content exists in. Information on how this is handled can be found here.
