BTA-Mirror:Editing guide

This is the guide for users who wish to edit the wiki. This page is not finished yet, and is subject to alterations as changes to formatting and rules occur. It's recommended to join the Discord before touching anything within the wiki, as there you can get assistance on how to edit, as well as general precautions for things such as misinformation.

Note to all editors: You are allowed to publish an unfinished page, HOWEVER, it must be made into a stub page using Template:Stub.

You can find a list of stubs here. Feel free to add missing information or fix up any misinformation, primarily in stub pages but also outside of them. Don't remove any stub templates unless you're certain the information in the page is sufficient and factually correct.
