Idea Wiki:Tutorial

About Ideas Wiki
Ideas Wiki is a collection of articles where the brightest minds can layout out their ideas in encyclopedic form. That means that these articles are MADE UP. We may describe Super Mario Galaxy 3, but really, we don't know any more than you do what it will actually look like. We may make up other ideas. The companies listed do not know about these ideas. Hence the name of the site is the Ideas Wiki, but what is really cool is how you can add your own ideas to this collection. Guidelines on what to make are elsewhere, but anyone can make their own idea.

In summary, you will find ideas for possible games. You can enjoy others or make your own. This is not the place to record existing media; but rather what you would have done different.

Guidelines
Our guidelines can be found at Project:Simplified ruleset.

Navigation
The wiki is designed to resemble a video game. To add to that, navigation of our guidelines are divided into 5 sections:


 * New
 * Continue
 * Account
 * Tutorial
 * Community

But that list is rather vague. A more descriptive list is in the Manual § Navigation.

The articles on the wiki are joined through categories. The See More section may the best tool to use when looking for more great articles.

Wikia Help
Wikia provides us with a glossary of editing question-and-answer help. It covers most of the stuff that you will need to edit pretty much everything. It has a range from help for novices, to reminders for experts. This is an excellent help. On the other hand, it (obviously) doesn't cover everything. For the stuff it misses, try looking at the specifics.
