A basic list of wiki markup can be found on the Wiki's Markup help page. An "edit toolbar" is provided just above the edit box, which allows users to automatically place and format various aspects of wiki code. See Help:Wiki Markup for more information. | ||
When you add information, make sure it is in the appropriate article or articles. For example, if you have new information on [[Aqua]] you wish to add, the best place would probably be just in her article, and not in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' article, unless it is something major related to the entire game. Use your best judgement in deciding where to add information. If you are unsure about where your information might be most appropriate, ask a [[Kingdom Hearts Wiki:Staff|Staff Member]] or submit a question on the article's talk page or the [[Forum:Index|Forums]] for advice. | When you add information, make sure it is in the appropriate article or articles.

Using "thumb" generates a thumbnail of an image (the most common placement option), which is typically sized differently from the original image. Please be sure to read and review the wiki's [[Help:Images|image help]] page and the wiki's [[KHWiki:Image Policy|Image Policy]] before uploading and using images on the wiki. | ||

Every article on the | Every article on the wiki has a talk page, accessible via the <code>Talk</code> tab at the top of the article's page (for example, [[Talk:Sora]]). There, editors can discuss improvements to the content of an article. If you ever make a change that is reverted by another editor or the wiki's staff, you can discuss the change on the talk page. It is very important that you conduct yourself with civility and assume good faith on the part of others. Edit warring (repeatedly overriding or reimplementing contributions) is strictly prohibited. | ||
Most other types of pages on the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki also have associated talk pages, including every editor's user page. When other editors need to contact you, they will usually do so by leaving a message on your talk page. When someone has left you a message that way, you will see a notice the next time you log in or view a page on Wikipedia. | Most other types of pages on the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki also have associated talk pages, including every editor's user page.
