Within this site there are two major spaces: Official and Community. Official spaces contain important fundamental information about using VRChat itself such as [[Special:MyLanguage/Worlds|Worlds]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Avatars|Avatars]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Menus|Menus]], etc; as well as official VRChat produced content like [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat Home|VRChat Home]]. Users can submit edit requests to official content spaces, but those changes much be approved by a Wiki Maintainer. Community spaces on the other hand are more freely accessible for regular logged in users to create pages on for content [[Special:MyLanguage/:Category:Worlds|worlds]], [[Special:MyLanguage/:Category:Guides|guides]], and [[Special:MyLanguage/:Category:Resources|resources]], though they must abide by the relevant [[Special:MyLanguage/VRCWiki:Contributor_portal|rules, policies, and guidelines]].
