SBWiki uses the same wiki engine as Wikipedia. Creating and managing articles on SBWiki is identical to editing Wikipedia.

Creating a page

Use the "Create a page" box on the Main Page, or enter your new page name in the search box at the top left. This will route you to a blank page you can start editing.

Wikipedia markup and formatting

Help:Formatting

File uploading

Any registered user can upload files, using the "Upload file" link on the left menu. Please make sure to categorize your images appropriately when uploading.

Categorization

Wikis rely heavily on Categories for page management and navigation. Consult the Standards page for the categorization schema. Add categories to your articles by adding the following text at the bottom of each page:

<code>[[Category:<category name>]]</code>

An article about an FD scale personal designs tank would show:

<code>[[Category:Tanks]]</code>

Additionally, categories can and should be stacked. The same article (about an FD Scale Personal Designs tank) would show:

<code>[[Category:Personal Designs (FD Scale)]] [[Category:Tanks]]</code>
