The | The Spaceinvasion Wiki is a wiki, meaning that anyone can edit any unprotected page and improve articles immediately for all readers. You only need to register to do this. The Spaceinvasion Wiki uses [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup wiki markup] (wikitext). | ||
Some pages, like the main page, are protected from editing. These pages have a <code>View source</code> link instead of an <code>Edit</code> link. You can still edit these pages indirectly, by submitting an "edit request" – by clicking on the <code>Discussion</code> link at the top left of the page and making a comment. | Some pages, like the main page, are protected from editing.

Editing most wiki pages is simple. The | Editing most wiki pages is simple. The Spaceinvasion Wiki uses classic editing through [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup wiki markup] (wikitext). Wiki markup editing is chosen by clicking the <tt>Edit</tt> tab at the top of a page (or on a section-edit link). This will take you to a new page containing the editable contents of the current page. Wiki markup is used extensively throughout the site for such things as hyperlinks, tables and columns, footnotes, inline citation, special characters and so on. | ||
When you have finished editing, you should write a short edit summary in the small field below the edit box. You may use shorthand to describe your changes, as described in the legend. To see how the page looks with your edits, press the "'''Show preview'''" button. To see the differences between the page with your edits and the previous version of the page, press the "'''Show changes'''" button. If you're satisfied with what you see, '''be bold''' and press the "'''Save page'''" button. Your changes will immediately be visible to all wiki users. | When you have finished editing, you should write a short edit summary in the small field below the edit box.

Generally sources are added directly after the facts they support at the end of the sentence and after any punctuation. The | Generally sources are added directly after the facts they support at the end of the sentence and after any punctuation. The Spaceinvasion Wiki permits editors to use any citation system that allows the reader to understand where the information came from, and strongly encourages use of inline citations to do so. Common methods of placing inline citations include footnotes, shortened footnotes and parenthetical references. | ||
Inline citations are most commonly placed by inserting a reference between <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> ... <code><nowiki></ref></nowiki></code> tags, directly in the text of an article. When one saves, that will ''display'' in the text as a footnote (e.g.<small><sup><span style="color:#002BB8">[1][2]</span></sup></small>), and the source you keyed in will appear on the page in a collated, numbered list corresponding to the footnote numbers in the text, wherever a template or <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code> tag is present, usually in a section titled "References" or "Notes". If you are creating a new page, or adding references to a page that didn't previously have any, don't forget to add a references section with this display markup. | Inline citations are most commonly placed by inserting a reference between <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> ... <code><nowiki></ref></nowiki></code> tags, directly in the text of an article.
