Editng a Wiki can be hard at times, since you must account for the linking sysetm. Here are some basics of editig on a wiki.

First we'll do the basics of formatting. To make something bold you just put three (3) single quote marks (') around it and that bolds it. Italics are simplier, has its just (2) two of the quote marks.

Now, the all-important Wiki linking system. To do this, just put two brackets around the word, then close it. See example below of making a link to the page about my ship, the USS Boudicca.

[[USS Boudicca]]

That makes a simple link, just like above. Now, if want to be tricking, and have the link say something different that where it goes, like if I say this is the link to my ship!

[[USS Boudicca|this is the link to my ship!]]

Now, I started the same with the two brackets, then I added the link name, then a vertical line, then typed what I wanted to appear. You have to be careful, because you have to type the link exactly the way it is, or else it will get lost, like if I make a link to the Uss Boudicca, notice it is spelled the same, but it is not case sensative. It will take you to the wrong page. What helps is to go to the page you want, then copy the title so the name will be exact, then paste it into your bracket tags.

Now, if you want to add the nice sub section tags like I did on the ship pages, then you just use two equal symbols around the title. So, if I want to make a main section of "Crew Roster" with sub sections of "Command Staff", "Engineers" and "Tactical", you just add another = on each of the tags. I'd do it like this... (I'd show you, but it would mess up this help page. To see an exmaple, go to your favorite ship page and see how I set up the crew roster)

==Crew Roster== ===Command Staff=== ===Engineering Staff=== ===Tactical/Security Staff===

Thats all I can think of now. If you need detailed instructions, try contacting me and I'll try to get back to you soon, or if you can't wait, you can go to the Wikipedia's Help Page and try to get help there.
