Welcome to the RetroTechCollection Wiki! This page provides a **step-by-step guide on editing pages**, creating new articles, formatting content, and contributing to the wiki.
If you’re new to wiki editing, don’t worry! Editing follows **MediaWiki markup**, which is easy to learn.
🔍 Basic Editing
To edit a page, simply **click the "Edit" tab** at the top of any article. This opens the editor, where you can modify text, fix errors, and improve content.
Use double square brackets to link to other pages → `Page Name`
Use `Triple Apostrophes` for **bold** text → `Bold`
Use `Double Apostrophes` for *italic* text → `Italic`
Headings are made with equal signs: `== Section Title ==`
To create a new page:
1. **Search for the page title** – If it doesn’t exist, you can create it.
2. **Click "Create"** to start editing.
3. **Use standard formatting** to structure your content.
4. **Save your changes** with an edit summary.
If unsure, check **Help:Page Structure** for guidance on structuring new pages.
🔧 Advanced Editing
For experienced users, the following features help **enhance content quality**:
**Templates** – Use pre-formatted templates for consistency (``, `
{{{1}}}
`).
**Tables** – Organize data using `wikitable` class.
**Images** – Upload images via **Special:Upload** and insert using `Description`.
**Categories** – Add `` at the bottom of a page to categorize it.

When editing, please follow these rules:
✅ **Keep content factual and relevant**
