Welcome to 1d4chan. Let us help you help us.
- 1d4chan:Policy -- Policies that the admins will follow regarding blocking users and protecting pages (and anything else they feel the need to articulate).
- Help:Editing -- A quick (or maybe not-so-quick) guide to wiki formatting. This is probably the most important page for new editors.
- Formatting Guidelines -- Follow these guidelines to help keep our pages readable.
- If you make a page or come across a page with the wrong title (e.g. it is misspelled, or in the wrong namespace), use the little "move" tab at the top of the page. Give the new title in the indicated space, and give a brief reason in the text box below. As long as there is not already a page with the new title (or if the page that is there is just a redirect with no other edits), the page and its entire history will be moved to the new title, while a redirect will be left behind at the old title, just in case there are other pages that link to the page at its old title (the fact that a redirect gets left behind also means that a page can be moved right back to the old title if you mess up). Check for new Double Redirects (redirects pointing to other redirects) and Broken Redirects (redirects that point to pages that do not exist) after the moving is done, and clean up any that get made as a result of a move; be especially careful if you are moving a page for the second time.
- Other sections to be added: All the subpages from Help:Editing (Help:Templates, Help:Redirect, and so on) if/when they get made, spam and how to deal with it, proper use of namespaces (Campaign: and Setting:). Suggest other topics on the discussion page, or add them to the list if it's really important.
