			Registration is required before you could edit the FreeSpace Wiki. Registration requires a user name, a password, and (optionally) an email address. To create an account, look at the upper-right corner of your screen and click for "log in / create account".

			To create a page, type its title into the Search field (left side of the screen) and click on Search, then in the Search page, click on the title of the page you're about to create (highlighted in red, below "Search results"), then in the upcoming window, write the new page. If there is a page which covers the same topic as the one you want to create, please do not create a new page, but complement the old page which the content you want to submit. While creating pages, make sure that others will be able to find the page you want to submit. Link from and to other pages, and use [[:Category:Main\|categories]]. To create categories, add the following code at the bottom of a page:

			<nowiki>[[Category:<name of category>]]</nowiki>

			where <name of category> is the name of the category, without the < > marks. Beware: category titles are case-sensitive.

			To create an interwiki link, use the following code:

			<nowiki>[[<name of the page you are linking to>\|<how it appears in the article>]]</nowiki>

			For example the <nowiki>[[Knossos\|some strange-looking subspace portal]]</nowiki> string of code will look like this:

			:Terrans discovered [[Knossos\|some strange-looking subspace portal]] in Delta Serpentis.

			If the name of the page you are linking to and how it appears in the article are the same, the following simple code will do:

			<nowiki>[[Knossos]]</nowiki>

			Such as in:

			:Terrans discovered the [[Knossos]] portal in Delta Serpentis.
