ZDoom:FAQ

What is this wiki thing for?

The wiki was created to be a repository of all information regarding editing and customization of ZDoom. For a more detailed explanation, check the ZDoom documentation project page.

How do I join the wiki?

If you only want to read the wiki, there isn't really a reason to join. If you have information to share though, or you think you can write a good explanation of any of ZDoom's features, hit the login page and create yourself a new account. As long as you don't abuse the wiki you should have a long and fruitful new purpose in life.

How do I create new pages?

First of all, read the editing guidelines.

Then make sure the wiki doesn't already contain the information you want to add.

There are two ways to add new pages to the wiki. If you want to create a new article from scratch, you should type this in your browser's address bar:

http://www.zdoom.org/wiki/index.php?title=Name_Of_New_Page

Replace the title with the subject you wish to write about. You will then be given the option to edit this new article, which you should do so.

You may also occasionally see red links in the articles on this wiki, where people have linked to a topic that doesnt exist. If you are feeling brave, you can help out by filling in these blanks - just use common sense that you are able to write a worthwhile and helpful article on the topic in question, and also that the link is not just a spelling mistake or variation on an already existing topic. In those cases, it would be more useful to fix the link in question.
