FAQs

You need to have a Clanopedia account to create a new article. Then you can Add/edit a wiki page on the left.

Pages and media are often deleted by Clanopedia administrators in accordance with our deletion policy.

Almost all articles on Clanopedia are written by multiple editors, not just one.

An orphan is an article that no other article links to. These can still be found by searching Clanopedia, but it is preferable to find another article where a link can be added.

Those are external links; i.e. those that link to pages outside of Clanopedia.

In case of a crash you'll lose your edit. To some extent, you can guard against this by editing in a text editor, for major work (but note that with regard to a system crash this does not help, unless you save frequently to disk).
When you get a time-out when you try to save, you might or might not lose your edit depending on your web browser. Some browsers (e.g. Opera and Mozilla Firefox) will recover the text you have tried to save if you use the back-button. In other browsers you will lose your edit. You can protect against this by copying the text (at least to the clipboard of your system). If you did not do this, you can at least recover the latest reviewed version by using the back-button and refreshing the page.

External links are certainly allowed. Properly used, they increase the usability of Clanopedia. Keep in mind, however, that Clanopedia is not a web directory; external links should support the content of the article, not replace it. An article should be more than a container for external links, and the content should not require the reader to leave the site to understand the subject. (IE Game or Clan)
The current convention is to place external links in a separate "External links" section at the bottom of the article. Sites used as references for the article should be listed under a "References" section, or sometimes placed within the article as a footnote.

Categories are groups of articles on related topics. At the bottom of an article, you will see a box containing the categories to which that article has been assigned. Simply click any of these categories to go to the corresponding category page. From there you can browse other articles on the same topic, or navigate through the category tree to find other related categories that you may be interested in.
