Greetings, New Editor

So you want to help us improve the ToME Wiki! Excellent! We need all the help we can get.

Before you get started, please familiarize yourself with the basic standards and conventions which are being used for the ToME Wiki. This will ensure a more organized, more consistent, and easier to read Wiki. It will also save you time, and let you get back to playing more ToME.

Before You Get Started

In order to be able to add or edit anything on the wiki, you will need to get a wiki account. This is not hard; it is the same as your ToME online profile. Go to the ToME website registration and create yourself an account. You also need to do this to keep an online profile for your games when playing ToME - and will be asked for it when you start the game - so there isn't any reason not to do this.

Once you have an account, you should be able to login to the wiki with the same credentials you used above. If you log out of the ToME website, you will also be logged out of the wiki, so make sure to stay logged in!

Basic Editing

The ToME wiki uses MediaWiki. This is the same software used by Wikipedia, and users familar with editing on Wikipedia will feel right at home. Please note, however, that the ToME wiki does not support all features, templates or special extensions used by wikipedia; only the most basic, common WikiMedia syntax is supported.

For users new to editing a wiki, and MediaWiki in particular, please read these pages to learn "the basics":
