User blog:Jigsawgirl/Learning Wiki

I had only initially come to this Wiki after googling for advice on while I was doing so badly in the Walking War Robots game. However after finding the information I was after (I was upgrading my robots before my weapons), I thought I should do a little editing of the wiki as a way of paying it forward.

I was aware or Markdown text and had played with it a little on Wordpress but hadn't had much use for it beyond that. With a little editing and a quick browse through the documentation I soon became impressed with how useful the Wiki thing could be so I set out to see what I could do with it.

Deeper editing revealed the world of Templates which lead to a deeper exploration of the documentation, which lead to giving writing a couple of Templates of my own. In fact I have almost spent as much time editing as I have playing. Taking turns playing a few matches and editing a few articles.

I would encourage anyone who opens the editor in source mode and is bewildered by all those [, | and { to take a little time to read through the Help:Contents files and learn for themselves how useful wikitext can be.

Anyway just thought that I would share my experience.

Happy Editing. 😎
