[edit] Where to help
There are many areas to the wiki that require help in covering all information available about The Secret World. A few of the ways you can assist are:
- Check the latest ARG page to make sure all information is up-to-date. This is especially important during ongoing ARGs.
- Check what pages are being linked to that have yet to be created. Avoid creating pages that look to go to user profiles.
- Help format articles to meet wiki guidelines.
- Have a look at the TODO page which has user entries of what's being worked on.
[edit] Getting started
Getting started working on a wiki page can be fairly daunting. The good news, you can always look at the 'edit' view from other pages in the same category. Templates are a useful tool and are available for most of the pages you'll be looking to create. The most common templates for game information will be found under Infobox templates and includes templates for topics such as NPCs, Factions, and Missions.
