-We're happy you've shown interest in contributing to the wiki. We welcome all editors and assume good faith for all edits made, so there are very few protected pages. Don't be afraid to jump in and start correcting and adding to pages.
+If you're reading this then let me be the first to say '''congratulations!''' You are on the first step to being one of the many wiki contributors attempting to brave the endless onslaught of outdated and soon-to-be outdated information and keep the wiki up to date! But before you start your quest to keep NSV13's wiki squeaky clean of errors, you need to learn the basics of editing and where to coordinate with your fellow valiant knights of the Wiki code.

-New content is constantly being added to ss13 which needs tutorials and such. Before you start to write a page, search for it and if you can't find it, start one yourself. We welcome all contributions to the wiki and trust all edits to be made in good faith. As a recommendation if you wish to work on a page uninterrupted and not worry about other users edits while working, make it in your personal [[Special:MyPage/Sandbox|sandbox]] area or anywhere in your own pages. If you don't know wikicode, you can create a unformatted page and ask someone else to format it for you.

-Any page can have tabs added to it through the <code><nowiki> <tabs> </nowiki></code> function. This function has the known problem of displaying correctly in a page edit preview, but incorrectly once an edit is applied. To fix this, the page's cache has to be flushed; One easy method is adding ?action=purge at the end of a page's URL. If the problem persist, leave a post [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=45| on the forum].

 If you have relevant images then upload them and add them to the page they're intended for. It is appreciated if the pictures of items you add have a blank background and are in the .gif or .png format. The easiest way to add images of items is to download the [[Downloading the source code#Downloading|source code]], open the icons .dmi files and export images as .gif's or .png's from there.
