Thanks for looking into contributing to the Fenspinner wiki! This page is here to guide you in helping to expand our site.
Fenspinner Wiki purpose
The goal of the Wiki is to provide a replacement for the old UPSB Wiki that used to contain a single repository for pen spinning knowledge in the English language. Since the closing of UPSB, information has become fragmented and split between archives, text documents and unfamiliar sites. Our task is to collect all the information and store it on the pages of this site.
Getting started
It is possible to contribute to the wiki logged in on an account or anonymously without an account. Be aware that edits made without an account will display IP address instead.
To create a page, you can either search the title of the page you want to create, then open the uncreated page link in red, or click an uncreated page link in red referenced on an existing page. Many of our pages reference pages that are not yet created, so making and filling those in is a great place to start contributing.
Formatting
We'd recommend looking at the formatting guide for mediawiki by clicking here to start off. We also make use of infobox templates that can be created by making a Portable Infobox Template. An example of this is the infobox used in pages like Watto G3. Youtube videos can also be embedded, which can be seen in the same Watto G3 page.
You can edit or view the source of any page to see how it formats something if you get lost.
