This page contains information on how to edit pages as well as basic wikicode. If you have additional questions, please leave a message on the [http://theblockheadswiki.com/index.php?title=Help_talk:Editing&action=edit&section=new talk page].
 
==Editing a page==
To edit a page, click the edit link at the top of the page. To edit only one section, click edit on the section header. A box with the text of the article, as well as all the code, will be shown. You can make your changes by typing, editing, and moving around the various text. Before saving your changes, click "Show preview" underneath the edit box. It will show how the article will look with your edits in place. You can also type in an edit summary to describe the changes you made. If you made a minor edit, such as correcting the spelling of a word, you can click the "This is a minor edit" check box before saving. The checkbox labeled "Watch this page" adds the page to your watchlist so you will be notified of any changes someone else makes. Once you are ready, click "Save page" so your edits can be shown to the world.
 
You cannot edit [[Special:ProtectedPages|protected pages]]. Those pages are generally protected because they are important enough that only admins are able to edit them.
 
==Starting a new page==
Before starting a new page, make sure to check that the article has not already been made under a different title or as a section or another article. Once you have confirmed that the article you want to create has not already been created, enter the name of the article you want to create into the search box. Make sure the title is in start case, where every word is capitalized regardless of the part of speech, to conform to guidelines that have been set. Once you have searched for it, click the red link in the sentence "'''Create the page "<span style="color:#C20;"><page name></span>" on this wiki!'''"
 
An empty box should appear. Here, you can type the code for a new page. In most cases, the [[Template:Stub|<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Stub<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>]] template should be placed on the first line of the article to indicate it could use significant future expansion by other editors.
 
The first part of the article is the lede. Typically, it describes the topic of the page in a few sentences. The title of the page should be capitalized in the lede. An example of a lede:
 
<blockquote>'''Vegetables''' are edible [[:Category:Food|food]] [[items]] that a [[blockhead]] can [[Farming|harvest]]. Vegetables restore a medium amount of the [[Hunger Bar|hunger bar]]. [[Flax Seed|Flax]] and [[Sunflower Seed|sunflower]] [[seed]]s similarly grow on plants.</blockquote>
 
The remainder or an article will vary depending on the topic. Most items have the [[Template:Item Infobox|<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Item Infobox<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>]] at the top of the page, for example. Generally, a new article should be similar structure to a already-existing article.
 
Don't forget to categorize the new page. If the topic should be illustrated, consider uploading an image for the article. The new article should also be linked to, where appropriate, from other articles. Please also read the [[Help:Contents#Basic Structure of Articles|Basic Structure of Articles]] prior to creating an article.

|-
| Note: This template, [[Template:Bench|<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Bench<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>]], is used on articles about a [[Crafting Surface|crafting surface]] to display crafting recipes. To create this table, the Bench template is called with the first parameter "header", which creates the column labels. The Bench template is then called again, with the parameters "entry", "Steam Generator", "Burns fuel for electricity.", "1", "Steel Block", "1", "Steam Engine", "1", "Electric Motor", and the Time2 parameter is set to "8". This lets it display the crafting recipe for a steam generator (one steel block, one steam engine, and one electric motor), with the slogan "Burns fuel for electricity." and a rush cost with double-time of eight time crystals. Lastly, the table is closed with a |}.
