Like all wikis, you can edit any non-protected page on this wiki. Your changes will be visible immediately. Just click the "edit" link that appears at the top of every page.
Creating a page
A red link such as Help:Non-existent page indicates that the page does not exist. Clicking on it will bring you to a page where the first version of it can be written and saved.
A second option to create a new page is to type the full name of the page you wish to create into the Search box. This will bring you to a page that says There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page. with links to the search page, or the edit page where you can then write and save the page.
Another way to create a new page is to navigate to the URL directly. For example, typing out http://en.wiki.ryzom.com/wiki/Help:Non-existent page onto the browser's URL address bar and hitting the enter button will achieve the same effect as clicking on the red link above.
Creating a subpage
To create a subpage of another page, use any of the 3 options above to create the page with the following naming: Original page name/Subpage name using the forward slash (/) to indicate the separation between the original page, and the subpage.

Moving a page
You can rename a page by moving it to another more appropriate name. The "Move" link at the top of the page allows you to move it. You must be logged in to be able to see the "Move" link. You cannot move a page to a name that already exists.
After successfully moving a page, the old name will contain a redirect to the new name, allowing all the old links to continue to work properly. It is not necessary to purposely change all existing links to the old name to the new name, unless the old name was misleading.
Redirects
To redirect automatically from one page to another, type #REDIRECT and then put in brackets the name of the page to be redirected to. For example, you could redirect from "Cats" to "Cat". That way, anyone typing either version in the search box will automatically go to "Cat".
Wiki variables and templates
Use {{SITENAME}} to see the current Wiki. For instance, {{SITENAME}} on this site prints out as EncyclopAtys.
That and a few other templates are common to MediaWiki sites.
You can create templates. After you create the page Template:XXX, using the command {{XXX}} will include that content in your current page. So, if you have something that needs to be included on many other pages, you might want to use a template.
Before saving changes
Once you've edited in your changes, before actually saving them, explain your edit in the "Summary" box between the edit window and the save and preview buttons. eg: "typo" or "added info on xyz" and make use of the "Show preview" button to preview how your changes would look like after you saved. If you are logged in, you can mark an edit as minor by checking the "This is a minor edit" box to let people know your edit is not something substantive. Avoid saving too often or saving just to see what it looks like. Each page save will generate an entry in recent changes. Repeated trivial and unnecessary saves tend to clutter up that list and inconvenience users who make use of that list to watch for vandals or misinformed edits.
