P.MysteryUniverse Wiki:The How-to Guide to This Wiki!

While it is assumed that you will learn everything you have to just by helping out in the wiki slowly, there are some things that can be explained here that you wont learn anywhere else. These are a collaboration of ideas that could prove useful and since there is no other place to find them this is the spot!

Things about Editing
Editing in the wiki is probably the most major thing to do. There are some things to be familiar with that could end up helping you keep the wiki nice and cool looking.

Member-only Pages
There are some places in this wiki that can only be edited by a member. These are people who have created an account, and verified their e-mail address. While most pages in the wiki are generally made for everyone to edit, some are locked into member-only to prevent vandalism. The most common ones are dungeons and the PMU Playerbase. Page restrictions are added by the PMU Wiki staff.

Dungeons
Dungeons are a major part of the game with new dungeons being added in every so often. Most dungeons have a lot of content so an organized way of creating dungeon pages has been established and can be accessed here and here.

Style Manual
The Manual of Style is a page that basically has rules necessary to follow when writing on articles, uploading images, and everything else.

Things to Do
The wiki will never be complete! This is an ongoing war that will never end. With new content and new players joining the game regularly there is always something to edit or add in, however there are some major things that anyone can do if they feel like it.

Well, there are other to-do things, but these are probably the most needed.

Message Walls
Even with all that said there are probably things that one can't just do or perhaps you have no idea how to do it. The best option for this dilemma is to contact various people on their message wall. When making your first edit, whichever Aamin made the most recent edit will greet you with an automated on your message wall. Feel free to reply to that thread or, check this small list of active editors you could reach out to for help personally:
 * Shadow Lucario (Admin)
 * Deleca (Admin)
 * Veezo (Moderator)

Talk Pages
Talk pages are basically message walls, but on articles. Every page has a talk page, with the namespace "Talk". You can use these to get attention or help on a specific page.

Discussions
A great way to get a general input on something when you have a question or suggestion is to go to the discussions page. It place has several categories that are all dedicated to the wiki.

News and Announcements
This is something good for staff members when they want to inform of the Wikiers about a major change or development. By highlighting a thread you can have everyone get a message about it so that way more people will view it...Probably.

Wikia Discussion
This is a place that one can make a thread to talk about the wiki. It is not a place for questions but rather a place to talk about various pages and stuff.

Wikia Suggestions
If you have an idea about something that will be interesting but are not sure if it will be something that is accepted, or something you want to near the community's input on then make a thread here.

Wikia Questions
When there is a problem or something that you have no idea on how to do then ask away here. Even though you might not get an answer because the forums are basically dead...it's worth a shot!

Wiki Discord
The wiki Discord server is the best place to get a quick response when in doubt. The invite can be found on the front page!

Things Left Unsaid
There is probably a lot that has not been covered by this page alone. However by going around and helping the wiki out in various places the knowledge about what to do will naturally come. So good luck!
