A Wiki is a collaberative document, meaning groups of people create and maintain it.
- Anyone can edit any topic in the Wiki. You can fix spelling errors, delete things you think are wrong, or add new topics you think are relevant.
- There is no editor -- you don't ask anyone for permission to make a change. If you think it needs to be changed -- go for it. All changes are logged in a history, so if someone else thinks your change is wrong, they can just roll it back to how it was before.
- To edit an exsting topic, just click the edit tab at the top of the page and edit away!
- Everyone is encouraged to contribute -- that's how it works. If you have some knowledge about Tribewanted, this is the place to put it down so others can benefit from your experience.
- When you're done reading this, click the back button on your web browser, or click the Main Page navigation link on the left side of this page.
Huh?
- Don't I have to log in or something? NO!
- Don't I have to know HTML or some other complicated computer lingo? NO!
- Don't I have to discuss my change on the forum to make sure it's a good idea first? HELL NO!
- Won't this lead to chaos, misinformation and the end of the world as we know it? NOPE!
