To add something new, go to http://www.renegadeprojects.com/index.php/XXXX, while XXXX is the name of the entry you want to add/see. Use an underscore ("_") for spaces. Then you can click on "edit" and write away.

*'''Please do always use the "Show preview" function!''' Everytime you hit "Save page", a version of the page is saved in the database. So preview the site until your satisfied, and ''then'' hit save.

*'''Please always fill the "Summary" field!''' Despite it's name, that field is not used for the search-function, but gives a summary of what was changed in this version compared to an earlier one. Good examples are "Added XY's tutorial" or "fixed some layout/spelling problems".

[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Here] is a list of coding aids (similar to a forum's BBCode), especially important are:
 
*The bracket-thingy: Surrounding an entry like this <pre>[[example]]</pre>, makes it a link to another page, like <pre>[[CnC Modding Encyclopedia]] or [[Hardcoded]]</pre>, for example, becomes [[CnC Modding Encyclopedia]] or [[Hardcoded]].
 
Please do always link important words, even if there is no article for them yet. The link is still valid and leads directly to the editing-page until a page is saved.
 
*The Headers: <pre>== This text ==</pre> results in
 
== This text ==
 
[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing Reading the guide is still a good idea anyway]. ;)
 
<br><br>
 
== Registering ==
 
Clicking on "Log In" in the upper right-hand corner leads you to the Login/Registering page. If you register, all changes you do to the Encyclopedia are marked with your username, rather than your IP, and you can set some personal preferences. It is not necessary, however.

For further questions, ModEnc can be reached via ModEnc@RenegadeProjects.com. Or I, personally, via the usual ways.

Upgrade completed

Today's fixing of the URLs completes the upgrades to the latest version of MediaWiki. Among the changes are autocompletion for the search box and a new diff view for changes.
All links should work normally now. If there are any issues left, let me know.

Part of this upgrade cycle was a complete overhaul of the actual way the software is maintained on the server, this included completely removing the software once. Should this action have led to issues with uploads and or be preventing new uploads from happening, do tell.

ModEnc remains in Maintenance Mode, and there are a lot more changes left to apply. Heed the warnings in the header.
