Редактирование: Guide to contributing to the wiki (раздел)

== What needs doing? ==
A to-do list for the wiki is on the /tg/ forums, and can be found [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=30266 here].

=== New pages ===

New content is constantly being added to /tg/station 13 which needs tutorials and documentation. Make sure the page you want to write does not already exist before composing a new one. We welcome all contributions to the wiki and trust all edits to be made in good faith. As a recommendation, if you wish to work on a page uninterrupted and not worry about other users' edits while working, make it in your personal [[Special:MyPage/Sandbox|sandbox]] area or anywhere in your own pages. If you don't know wikicode, you can create an unformatted page and ask someone else to format it for you.

=== Existing pages ===

A list of pages that need revisions can be found [[:Category:Needs revision|here]].

Updates are frequent and we need people to update the information on the wiki. To do this, simply edit the page with new information. If you don't know wikicode, you can write the new and/or updated content on the discussion page without formatting.

=== Marking for revision and deletion ===
If a page is '''out of date''' or doesn't have a reason for existing, add one of the following tags to the top of the page:

<code>
<nowiki>{{Needs revision}}</nowiki><br>
</code>
<code>
<nowiki>{{Needs revision | reason = Out of date.}}</nowiki><br>
</code>
or<br>
<code>
<nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki>
</code>

=== Images ===
====Uploading new images====
If you have new and relevant images, then upload them and add them to the page they're intended for. It is appreciated if the pictures of items you add have a blank background and are in the .gif or .png format. The easiest way to add images of items is to download the [[Downloading the source code#Downloading|source code]], open the icons .dmi files, and export images as .gif's or .png's from there.

Then upload them here: https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Special:Upload

====Updating existing images====
It is possible for an image to become depreciated following an update to the source code. To update an existing obsolete image, you can:
*Visit the [[Special:Upload|upload page]] and upload your new image <u>with the same filepath as the old image</u>.
*Visit its page on the wiki (by either clicking the image itself or searching for its name using the "File:" prefix in the search bar), click on "upload a new version of this file" under "File history", and select your new image on the upload page. 
All depreciated versions of the image will remain on the File's history page for posterity.
<br>'''IMPORTANT NOTICES:''' Images can only be updated with files of the same format: .png images cannot be updated to .gif, and vice-versa. This is because files are saved on a page that includes their format in its name. Due to caching issues, updating existing images may take up to a week to actually update.

=== Tabs ===
Any page can have tabs added to it through the <code><nowiki><tabs></nowiki></code> function. This function has the known problem of displaying correctly in a page edit preview, but incorrectly once an edit is applied. To fix this, the page's cache has to be flushed. One easy method is to add '''?action=purge''' at the end of a page's URL. If the problem persists, leave a post [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=45| on the forum].
