It's expected that any information added to the wiki is clearly cited, where applicable, as many users do not appreciate unverifiable speculation, unless it is plainly stated as such. That is to say, feel free to write what ''might'' or ''might not'' be factual, but qualify what is ''intended'' to be factual with verifiable information by posting a link where appropriate. However, we want to facilitate community contributions to the wiki, so we encourage all users to get involved. The [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite Cite] extension is available on this wiki and makes adding inline citations and references easy. | It's expected that any information added to the wiki is clearly cited, where applicable, as many users do not appreciate unverifiable speculation, unless it is plainly stated as such.

The simplest way to get started on the Wiki is to begin by playing around under the userspace: <code>../wiki/User:Username</code> | |||
This is the user's "main page" or "entry-way" into the user's personal sandbox. Each user can do just about anything they want within their userspace, as long as it's in accordance with the guidelines dictated within the [[Guide:STEP_Community_Citizenship|Community Citizenship Guide]]. Users are asked to... | |||
: ...avoid editing another user's page without permission (not applicable to wiki administrators), doing so is a breach of etiquette. | |||
: ...at least edit the page adding some information about themselves for others ... even a link to another website or their forum profile is a good start. | |||

Wiki Maintenance Guide
Standards and tips for editing the Step wiki
by: Step Modifications | Forum Topic
Definition of a wiki:
- "...a website or database developed collaboratively that allows users to add, delete, or revise content by using a web browser."
The Step Modifications wiki is intended to be a community-driven project; although, most contributions to date have originated from only a handful of contributors. Our goal is to make it easy for all community members to contribute by helping us maintain existing content and developing new content. We created this reference to help our userbase get more comfortable working within a wiki environment.
