History: How to edit the wiki

+ # How to edit the wiki

+ The wiki is written by the people who live in the world. Every city, nation, organisation and resident can have a page.

+

+ ## Account

+

+ Sign in with your e-mail — a one-time link arrives by mail, there is no password. If you sign in with the e-mail you used to buy access, your Minecraft nickname is **confirmed** automatically. Long-time residents are confirmed by an administrator.

+

+ - **Confirmed** residents publish their edits immediately.

+ - Edits from everyone else appear after a quick review.

+

+ ## Who can edit what

+

+ | Page | Who publishes | Everyone else |

+ | --- | --- | --- |

+ | City, nation, organisation, person | The page's owners — usually the mayor or ruler and the people they add | Can suggest an edit; the owners approve it |

+ | Article | Any confirmed resident | Suggest an edit |

+ | Guide | Moderators | — |

+

+ The first confirmed resident who creates a city page becomes its owner. If the wrong person got there first, an administrator will reassign it. Owners add co-owners on the *Manage* tab.

+

+ ## Creating a page

+

+ Press **New page**, choose what it is about and give it a title. The address is made from the title, in Latin letters; it is shared by both language versions and cannot be changed later.

+

+ A city page has:

+

+ - an **infobox** — tag, nation, founding date, mayor, language, coordinates, a link to the map;

+ - a **flag** — upload a picture;

+ - the **text** — history, sights, laws, anything;

+ - a **chronicle** — one event per line: `2026-05-20 | What happened`;

+ - a **gallery** — upload screenshots, add captions;

+ - a tick box **"accepts newcomers"** — the city appears on the [[recruitment|recruitment board]].

+

+ ## Formatting

+

+ | You type | You get |

+ | --- | --- |

+ | `**bold**` | **bold** |

+ | `*italic*` | *italic* |

+ | `## Heading` | a section heading |

+ | `- item` | a list item |

+ | `[text](https://example.com)` | a link |

+ | `[[weissdorf]]` or `[[weissdorf\|the capital]]` | a link to another wiki page |

+ | `> text` | a quote |

+

+ ## Two languages

+

+ Every page has an English and a Russian version at the same address. If your language's version does not exist yet, you see the other one with a **Translate** button. The infobox, chronicle and gallery are copied for you — translate the text and the captions.

+

+ ## History and mistakes

+

+ Every version is kept. On the *History* tab you can see what changed and, if you are an owner, restore any earlier version. Nothing is ever lost, so do not be afraid to edit.

+

+ ## What does not belong here

+

+ Insults, real-world politics, personal data of real people, anything you would not show a stranger. The wiki is the public face of the world.
