An advanced and ''enhanced'' way to edit Wiki pages. The Source Editor requires more work and plenty of time to learn all of the intricacies to make the Wiki look pretty. The Source Editor does not offer suggestions or guidelines on how to approach any specific task. Without prior knowledge, much of the start of Source editing is searching online for MediaWiki reference pages, keywords, and methods.

A messy Wiki is an unhappy Wiki :( | |||
If you are unsure how to create a new page or format an existing one, use other pages as examples! There is a large list of templates to use, and the best template or design to use is not always apparent. If you cannot find a good example, then ask the Wiki Staff for advice. | |||
The Wiki Staff team consists of: {{UserLink|Bloo___}}, {{UserLink|BluePsychoRanger|BluePsychoRanger (BPR)}}, {{UserLink|JP12}}, {{UserLink|Kroppeb}}, {{UserLink|SpecialBuilder32}}, and {{UserLink|Epyon|TheEpyonProject (Epyon)}}. | |||
