Notice: We are aware that many of the Chewiki’s images are still broken. We promise: we will try our best to fix it, but we don't guarantee that the fix will be trivial.

This help article is a work in progress and so may not be ready for public viewing, and content can change at any time. You can help by contributing to it and discussing on its talk page. (April 2010)Welcome to the help page. This page will explain some basics you'll need to know about editing pages on Chewiki. You can also use the icons above the textbox to use different tools.
Also, if you think something's too short but you might want to see it expanded, add {{stub}} anywhere in the article.
Instructions on wiki formatting
How to add a headliner
Format: ==*insert text here*==

Format: ===*insert text here*===

When 4 or more titles are created, the Table of Contents will automatically be created. Adding __TOC__ or __FORCETOC__ will place the toc on wherever spot you add it, even if there are less than 4 titles. Adding __NOTOC__ will keep the Table of Contents from appearing.
Lists
To make a list, set a * before each sentence. Make sure you'll make a new line for each listed sentence.
The effect will be this:
- Waluigi
- Scratch
- Grounder
- Hulk Hogan
If you want to go wikiHow style, you can also use numberical lists, by using #'s; leading to this:
- Waluigi
- Scratch
- Grounder
- Hulk Hogan
How to embed a youtube video
{{#ev:youtube|yyeQN-kjw1I|320}}
Format: {{vid|insert "code" part of the url here}} Example:
- {{vid|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyeQN-kjw1I}} incorrect
- {{vid|yyeQN-kjw1I}} correct
If done correctly, the result should be this:
How to embed a image
If you want a image with a thumbnail, try this: [[Image: imagename.filename|thumb| *insert description here*]]
The name of the part afterwards the Image: part, should be the complete filename of the file uploaded onto Chewiki. the image on the right can be embed onto a page by using this code, for example: [[Volvic_revive.png|thumb|*insert description here*]]
If you don't want a thumbnail image, just type [[Image: imagename.filename]]
How to add a template/group
Add {{name}} anywhere on the page. The group then will appear on the bottom of the article it's currently in, and it'll add a template (if there's one avaible) On the upper-right corner of the article.
How to add links
If you want to add a link to another page, type [[You]](You). Alernatively, type [[Yoghurt|Robotnik]](Robotnik) to make the text show up as Robotnik, but link to Yoghurt instead. It's reccomended to keep this in mind to prevent double articles from forming.
It's also essential to spell the article right, or else it won't work.
Alternatively, using an url outside of Chewiki can be done by typing it like this: [www.youchewpoop.com] (It only requires 2 brackets then 4.)
