	For the most part, you'll never need to do this. However, should the need ever arise, [[Creating pages]] has a brief introduction to page creation, as well as some examples of well-edited pages of various types.

	Only logged-in users may create new pages. Do not make a new page unless you're certain it needs to be created. If you don't see a page you think should exist, check your capitalization before creating it (e.g., 'Bodies In Space' is not a page, but [[Bodies in Space]] is).

	This wiki is a collaborative venture between editors, creators, and readers of Shousetsu Bang*Bang. It is intended as a place to collect information related to SSBB and make contents easy to find. It's also a place where individuals can add their own information about stories, particularly in the case of content warnings and summaries, neither of which SSBB provides. It gives readers a chance to curate works to help others make sense of SSBB's extensive back catalog. Finally, it provides ways for contributors to go beyond the pseudonymity of the project and link interested readers to their non-SSBB works.

			== Adding Content ==
			There is no set style for the SSBB wiki, but you'll want to go through established pages to see the kind of information best put there.

			'''For contributor pages:''' If you're editing your own, put whatever links and data you want. If you're editing someone else's, please only add information for contributors who are open about their connections to SSBB; because of the pseudonymous and pornographic nature of this project, we have contributors who do not wish to have connections drawn between their SSBB identities and their other online/real-world presences.

			'''For submission pages:''' Again, if you're editing your own, do whatever you like. If you're editing someone else's to add content originally hosted on other sites, provide links instead of reproducing text unless you have specific permission to do so. The more information about a contribution present on its page, the more likely it is to be found and appreciated by others.


			== Rec Lists ==
			[[Rec Lists]] function like categories, only with more specific curation and annotation. You can create your own or add to one of the Open Lists.


			== Anything Else ==
			Please contact the editorial staff at shousetsubangbang@gmail.com
