Forgotten Realms Wiki:Help-Editing

Editing a page at the Forgotten Realms Wiki has a lot in common with editing a page at Wikipedia. If you are new to editing wikis, we recommend you read the Wikipedia Help for a general introduction.

Cleanup
Many articles on the wiki require cleaning up because they are not laid out properly, they were put together by an inexperienced editor, or more and more information has been added without consideration for the article as a whole. You can edit these articles so that they read better and contain properly formed wikilinks. Don't confuse cleanup with referencing: it is possible to have a perfectly referenced article that still requires cleanup, because it has spelling errors, for example.

Categorization
The category hierarchy is a detailed structure intended to allow browsing to find similar articles or articles about broader or narrower subjects. For example, a reader starting from a page about a town on the Sword Coast might use categories to browse for other towns, other towns on the Sword Coast, or other settlements in general on the Sword Coast. If you come across articles in need of extra categories or categorized wrongly, you can update them so that they are more correct.
