OniGalore is a wiki (a freely editable website) run by the Oni fan community. The software used by OniGalore is [[mw:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] (the software that Wikipedia runs on). For an overview of how wikis work, see the [[wp:wiki|Wiki]] article on Wikipedia. Note that the editing of OniGalore is currently limited to registered users, to prevent spam. If you request an account for yourself, you will need to wait for it to be approved before you can start editing.

Another issue is organization and updates. This is a small community and active editors of the wiki are typically involved in modding projects. This means the wiki may fail to keep track of a project that has been evolving fast or has been discontinued for some reason. Because we can't do everything at once.

Cleaning up a messy area on the wiki typically requires good knowledge of the topic you're trying to document. If you don't feel competent, you can always try and nag someone knowledgeable into doing the job :-)

===How To Customize OniGalore===
===How To Customize OniGalore===
You have a lot of control over the appearance of the wiki. You can start by looking through your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]]. Note the "Appearance" tab. Not only can you select an alternate skin here, but you'll notice red links for each skin called Custom CSS and Custom Javascript. You can use those to create personal modifications to the appearance or behavior of that skin (these only work when you are logged in). Many examples can be found by looking at custom CSS/JS pages for [http://wiki.oni2.net/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=1&search=vector.css&fulltext=Search&ns2=1&title=Special%3ASearch&advanced=1&fulltext=Advanced+search OniGalore] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&search=vector.js&fulltext=Search&ns2=1&profile=advanced Wikipedia] users.

An additional customization relies on your custom JavaScript page to enable the [[XEB|Extra edit buttons script]]. You can use this script to re-order the buttons in the editing toolbar. You can also add new buttons for all kinds of helpful shortcuts, as well as define your own buttons to perform complex actions using JavaScript. It's a great way to avoid memorizing so much markup, and saves time with repetitive tasks.
