Getting Started

Welcome to the contributing page. Here are some additional details, as well as tips and tricks for contributing to the wiki/Bookstack. It will also outline any specific processes we have developed to ensure contributions are clear and consistent. Consider this the contribution guide for the wiki.

This does not mean that you cannot contribute without following these guidelines, in fact we encourage contributions no matter how big or small, in whatever capacity you are able to. This guide is for those who wish to contribute significantly and are dedicated to the maintenance and upkeep of the wiki.

That being said, there is no wrong way to contribute to the wiki, keep that in mind and have fun!


Creating Pages

Creating new pages is fun and easy! Simply find a relevant spot to put the page and start writing. There are various templates built to help along with this process. If you are unsure about where to put a page add it to the Unsorted book! Pages can easily be moved and organised later.

When you create a new page you don't need to worry about all the information right away, the most important step is creating and linking to a few other pages. That way others can find it and add their own information to round out the page, or even add things you did not know about or had forgotten.

What shouldn't be on Bookstack

Almost everything can be added to here, however this is the internet, and it is publicly accessible, so do not post any personal information, anything that could get someone in legal or personal trouble, and in general be nice. Bookstack is extremely feature-rich, one such feature is extensive and detailed edit histories for each page.

There are some things that happen that do cross lines, please use your best judgement when writing about or referencing those kinds of events.

I don't know where to start

That is okay, it can be overwhelming with the amount of things that have happened and amount of information you might have in your brain. The TNTable group is now over a decade old, that is a LOT of time for things to have happened. Start with reading some current pages, perhaps a player or server page. This may naturally inspire you add a new page with some project you worked on. Or you will have additional information about an event and can edit the page to add more detail.
