You Can Help!
- Find an identified needed article with a red link, click here for a list of missing but linked to articles, or create your article by typing in the topic name in the URL (such as www.marspedia.org/index.php?title=articlename.)
- Refine an article stub into something more complete.
- Or simply tidy up an article in this category.
- An offsite guide to Wiki formatting can be found Here.
New Users Start Here!
- Marspedia QuickStart - To browse the current articles.
Category Tree - To overview the current Mars categories we are developing.
- Click here to create your account -- or else donate your content anonymously (however, anonymous accounts are restricted on protected pages).
- You can click on your user name and create a userpage to tell us about yourself.
- If you have questions or comments about any page then click on the "discussion" tab and type in the edit box. Make sure to sign the text with a row of four tilda characters (eg. to sign your name type: ~~~~).
How to layout your pages
- You can download a very useful one page Wiki Reference Card as a PDF.
- Or a less comprehensive, but much nicer looking, single page Wikipedia Cheatsheet, also as a PDF.
Both these files are best saved to your hard drive and also printed. Right click and "Save Link As" to do that. Or, if you have the plugins installed you can just click and view in your browser. But please don't forget to come back here afterwards :-)
