OniGalore:About

OniGalore is a wiki (a freely editable website). The software used by OniGalore is MediaWiki (the same software that runs Wikipedia). For an overview of how wikis work, see the 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.

This wiki is rather pragmatic. So, unlike on Wikipedia, there are only a few general rules concerning style here; of course, we all love a nicely typeset and illustrated page, but it's not always clear how to achieve this. Mistakes can always be fixed/undone, but try to experiment in your user space and ask around if you're not sure.

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 the mess 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, but don't overdo it. Messy project-oriented pages don't hurt anyone as long as they're out of the way.

If you're interested in contributing to the wiki, then you should start by reading our Help:Editing page, which is essentially a short FAQ and then some links to further reading on Meta-Wiki. Then check out the OniGalore:Current events page for suggestions on where your help will be most valuable.
