Introductions

Hi, my name is localguest, and I'm one of the main contributors for the wiki. If you're inclined to know what work I've done on the wiki, you can visit this page. All work written by me is for the public domain, and is continued to be written (and modified by other contributors) as such.

Now I know that there are no groups currently out there for the wiki. Every player is entitled to edit the wiki in order to improve it and give their own idea - if they want to. There might be some who really do want to give their opinion, having a knack for writing and interpreting the game. Maybe going online in Paw'D everyday isn't your thing and maybe you just wanted to sit down and add what knowledge of the game you have to somewhere like the wiki, yet find yourself restricted to not knowing how it works. I shall guide you through a basic process on how to do this.

Logging into the Wiki

1. Go to Game Guide, you should now be on the Welcome page.

2. If you visited this site many times already, you should already know that this is the place to find the Arrow Crafting List, or the Item Database. Look for a small text with a icon on the top-right of the header of the page, then press "Log in".

3. Log into your Paw'd account as usual through this log in page (if you try logging in through the top-left link instead, it's not going to lead you to the editing feature for the wiki).

Getting Used to the Features

Finally, you should see more options appearing for you, that means you've successfully logged in. This should have replaced "Log in" with -Username-, Talk, Preferences, Watchlist, Contributions and Log out. You also have access to three more options, which is Edit, Move and Watch on the options right below.

• -Username-: This will normally be highlighted in red, indicating that you haven't created a page yet. This will be your user page, which you can customize to how you see fit.
• Talk: This will be your user talk page. Anyone can add something to this page, whether it is a conversation or extra space. You do not need to worry about this.
• Preferences: This is like a settings page. You can change around the options to any way as you see fit, but I recommend not messing around with it if you don't know what you're doing.
• Watchlist: This page keeps track of all the pages you've selected to be watched. When editing a page, you have the option to watch this page, or by simply clicking Watch, beside the Move and Search options. By watching a page, you're looking for other people who tried editing it (or in this case, just yourself).
• Contributions: This page brings up all the editing, creating a new page and activity you've done so far. There are filtering options to help manage what you see over a period of time.
  • Edit: Click on this to edit the current page that you're on. Changes won't be saved until you hit save in the following page, and you can preview before you confirm. Clicking on "This is a minor edit" doesn't really matter, it'll just mark on the log saying that it's a small edit (like grammar fixes or adding in a few lines).
  • Move: Moving is renaming a page. But the renaming process is difficult, so what the wiki has to do is create a new page under that new name, move your contents to that page, then the old page becomes a redirect link to the new page. Ensure that the pages you create have the right name in the first place.

The Editing Process

Creating a New Page

Now you have some idea of how the wiki works. But you still don't understand how to edit or create a new page. We'll jump into the creating process right away.

There are two ways to create a new page on the wiki.

• All around the wiki, there may be red highlighted text that hasn't been filled in yet, so click on that red text and it'll take you to create it (it'll only create after you confirmed it, and editing is only available after creating the page).
• You can also just type in the page name you want to create on the address itself, which is: "https://www.pawdgame.com/wiki/" followed by the name you want for it. For example, https://www.pawdgame.com/wiki/Pets

Other Stuff

There are many other questions that you may need to know the answers to, and some of these are here below.

• So what kind of symbols do I need to know to make stuff like headers in the wiki?
  • == -insert header name here- ==
  • === -insert subheader name here- ===
  • four of "-" on an empty line will create a line across the page
  • [ + link + one space + words you want to substitute the link name for + ]
