You're just a few steps away from starting and/or contributing to existing articles on 3SWiki. Before you start, here are a few tips to set you in the right direction (you can bookmark this page and refer to it later as you build your articles).

==Do I Need to Know HTML/Programming?==
Nope! Just about everything you can imagine can be done without the use of HTML or programming knowledge. This include the ability to format text (bold/italics/etc), make headers/sections, build lists, create links, embed images, create tables, and much, much more.

The ultimate goal is to provide a data source that ''anyone'' can contribute to -- easily and efficiently. Then, if you want to get fancy, the wiki provides a number of tools and plenty of flexibility to help your article grow and look exactly how you want it to. Then, if you want to (or already know how), you are more than welcome to use HTML as well. For those just starting out, here are the basics:

==How Do I Create a Page or Edit an Existing Page?==
In order to edit or create a new article, please refer to this tutorial: [[Help:Contribute]]

==Using the Toolbar==
Similar to what you may be used to, every article's edit page provides a useful toolbar that can be used to help beautify your articles. It can also be used for quick reference if you've seen something done in another wiki article, and you want to create similar results.

This is what the 3SWiki Editing Toolbar looks like:

Our toolbar is a little more advanced than you might be used to on other wiki sites to provide greater flexibility. To give a quick run-through of each of the buttons:

:'''Top Row'''
:Bold | Italics | Embed File/Image | Sign w/ Signature & Timestamp | Create a Link (Internal or External) | Insert a Reference
:'''Bottom Row (Advanced)'''
:Create Large Text Heading/Section | Create Bulleted List | Create Numbered List | Create Indented List | Create Unparsed Wiki Code | Force a New Line | Increase Text Size | Decrease Text Size | Make Superscript | Make Subscript | Embed an Image Gallery | Create a Redirect | Create a Table | Search & Replace

These buttons should cover most of the basic things you may want to do with your article. However, there are a lot of other great features built in as well. To see these additional features, click on the 'Help' link on the toolbar to get a quick reference of the guide below:
