Adding Images
Adding images to a wiki page is a two-step process:
Step one is uploading the image. Every page on the wiki has Upload file as an option in the left menu. Browse for an image (you can only upload images from your computer), add a description, and click 'Upload file'. (If you encounter an error with thumbnail generation, try again; if you get the error a second time, tell the editors ASAP.)
Step two is determining the appropriate syntax to us to put the image on the page. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images has a list of just about every conceivable arrangement you could want. Issue 50 has examples of the two most useful styles: the single right-justified thumbnail and the multi-image gallery.
Adding Categories
Special:Categories has a list of categories used on this wiki. Categories are added with the syntax [[Category:X]], where X is the specific category in question. No matter where you put that text on wiki page, categories will only display at the bottom. Each category needs its own syntax, so if you want a page to belong to both the Category:Dystopian and Category:2011 categories, you need to add both [[Category:Dystopian]] and [[Category:2011]] to the page.
Creating a new category is easy: Add [[Category:X]] to a page, where X is the new category you want, and voila! A new category. Your new category will have the red text of a page that does not exist, though, so click through and give a brief explanation of what this category should involve. Feel free to get as specific or as general as you like with category creation; we may have only one story in Category:Dubcon with Eldritch Horror, for instance, but if we ever get a second, we'll know right where to put it.
What's the point of adding categories? It makes it quick and easy for readers to browse stories and artwork united by a similar theme. To learn more than you possibly ever wanted to know about the function and application of categories, visit http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Categories.
Adding Warnings
Help:Content_Warning has everything you could possibly want to know about how to put a content warning on a page. (It's surprisingly easy!)
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
