Editing pages with relevant information is crucial to the upkeep of any knowledge base. We encourage users like you to edit pages that may need a change. You can either choose between "visual editing" or "source editing"; you can also switch between both editing styles during your edit period before submitting changes.
Discussion pages
Discussion pages, or 'talk pages,' are subpages where VRChat Wiki users can ask questions or talk with others on subjects pertaining to the article.
How to create a new page
When searching for any content within the search bar at the top of the page, the content you are searching for might not have an article! Before creating a page, a subject might first require a "namespace" within the search bar. For example, you might receive a result when typing "Community:The Black Cat" versus simply "The Black Cat".
If you are certain that there is notable content missing from the VRChat Wiki, you can do so by creating a page! In order to create a page, you will have to type the name of your proposed article into the search bar, and then enter. This will bring open a page that states:
There were no results matching the query.
Create the page "[Your text here!]" on this wiki!
When clicking on the red link of text that you submit, this will begin the process in creating a new page. Make certain that you do not have any Conflicts of interest associated with the content that you are about to create a page for. Utilize the Manual of Style to your best ability when making edits to the new article.
Adding noticeboxes can also help with the minimum for getting a page started.
Some examples include:
The "Community" noticebox, for VRChat content, created by community members.
The "Official" noticebox, reserved for official VRChat, Inc. content, features, events, et al.
[Reason: You can contribute by expanding and proofreading this article, in accordance with the Manual of Style.]
The "Stub" noticebox, placed on new pages, needing additional or unfinished content.
For more noticeboxes, see VRCWiki:Useful Templates.
