Welcome

Welcome to the Happy-Wiki project. Anyone that would like to become an active, productive, well-known member of the wiki should enter your name to the list provided below.

Please note - To sign up for this project or add information/tips, you will need to have a registered nickname on this wiki and be logged in. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience!

Our mission

We plan to clean up the wiki, deterring vandalisers from our pages by showing them how into the wiki we are.

An open source wiki is nothing without its community and users, and we appreciate your input.

Here, however, is the place to present your respect back to the providers of this wiki, thanking them for the services they allow us to maintain.

The 5 pillars to helping

Helping the Happy-Wiki team is very simple, almost as if you were on your own, but this is a nearly coordinated effort on all our behalf. I've actually put together a list of 5 areas the Wiki could use help in. Follow these and we're sure to advance in our ultimate goal of perfection! - or at least close.

Getting started

Some of you may be new members, wondering how in the world wikis work, others may be seasoned in the processes of Wiki type archiving and should catch on fairly easy. Its necessary to say now that most Wikis have very different setups, whether it be certain modules, capabilities, or simply the key-shortcuts for easy navigation. However, there should be no worries in these areas as everything will be explained in due time.

New pages

First off, we'll introduce creating a new page. There will, well.. should, come a time in your membership to this Wiki that you will decide its necessary to write a personalized article. Articles can range from simple How-to's to Guides to becoming powerful players in the TW community and all it takes is the intuition of a great(or simply present) mind to write these items.

Now, to start, in the address bar you should find http://wiki.tribalwars.net/Happy-Wiki. This is what you should see, anyway, but for our purposes you can simply copy and paste. The way the Wiki system works, is really rather simple. Replace the name, in this case Happy-Wiki, with the title of your new page.

Note: Do not make pages for individuals or players in the TW game. There are
specially declared pages for such topics and making such page leaves it open for
deletion.

Another note: After creating your page, MAKE SURE you read the tips above, and add
category tags! If you aren't sure of which category it belongs, default with
[[category:All pages]] as this is the main cache for most pages.

Grammar

Everyone has done it, I've even caught myself doing it on occasion. Making simple grammatical errors, whether it be forgetting to include a letter, forgetting a word, or using small, choppy sentences, everyone knows how unattractive it can be.

This is where we come in, the clean-up crew if you will, to fix these small errors and save the user as well as the entire Wiki from looking both illiterate and ignorant!

As previously said in Tips, Don't be afraid to edit someone's page to develop themes and create sections for them. The goal of editing pages is to have easy to follow information readily available, thus sectioning, as seen on this page along with many others, is so very important to the overall effect of the page.

For help recognizing errors and for tips on how to go about fixing these minor mistakes, click here. This source is the most effective, informative page of grammar I've seen on the site as of yet; Please use it effectively and incorporate key ideas in the pages you create/edit.

Important: I've been seeing this very often lately; Please try to avoid personal indicators in the articles as this can lead to confusing paradoxes! Try as often as you can to label exactly who you're referring to, for example:

Use       : The attacker should then send three subsequent waves towards the defender.
Do NOT use: You should then send 3 subsequent waves towards them.

Another good area to point out in this example, numbers up to ten should be spelled out, anything beyond ten should be typed in number format. Eg: 11 or 249

This is simply in the interests of correct sentence structures in global situations.

Stubs

Stubs are used to inform Users and Administrators that a page has been left incomplete by the original poster. Be careful when labeling pages as incomplete, as users may be adding more information while you're tagging it, however, be persistent and bold when you spot a faulty page.

Here are a few helpful tips to spot a stub:

If its a tribal page, such pages should include:
  The full name
  The Tag
  Member count
  World <-- VERY important for categorizing in the Tribeopedia!!
  Duke(s)
  Rank
  Continents
  Information about the tribe/its beginnings/perhaps the history?
  Member list?
  Current news/events?

Note: '?'s are just suggested sections. Tribe page stubs should be categorized with {{tribe stub}}
Note2: You're better off following the Tribe template located here for finding missing information (these items can be announced in the Discussion page)
Note3: As of late, the use of the Tribal stub has been removed, because only players from the tribe in question can accurately display information. Please don't try to mark these pages as stubs as it will only complicate things. Simply try to update their ranking, member count, etc. if you can.

 If its a User page, such pages should include:
  User name:
  Background information:
  Any other information ;)

Note: Use {{stub}} for these stubs.
Note2: Pages made for users not having User: in the URL should be marked with the {{delete}} tag as they're inappropriate uses of tribal pages!

Jumping in

Below is a chart of pages you MAY want to visit whether to better acquaint yourself with the site, or to improve their appearance/quality (or their sibling pages). I will also put a summary of what is there and what to expect.

Supporting

For those of you wishing to show your membership to the Happy-Wiki project,
I'll be providing a template tag for you to include in your User talk page,
allowing you to show off your exclusive membership in your very own
personalized page.

Supporter images

BAM! I've made it. Follow the instructions below and add one of the following

What you enter	What you see

• Look at the top of your screen.
• Then hit the 'My Talk' button, this should direct you to your page.
• All you need to do then is create your new page!

Or if this process seems too complicated for your liking:

• Simply press and hold down the Alt key
• Followed by the Shift key
• Then finally hit the letter n key.

Happy-Wiki NoticeBoard

Inactivity

Hate to do this, but an activity sweep will need to be held soon, which will knock the count down to probably 3-4. lol, not an active project if there're idle names, eh? - Demon_SysOp - ^{Talk .:|:. Happy-Wiki Project}

Don't see why not, in-active isn't helping anyone. Maybe make a post to each persons talk page? (copy paste) and give them 2 days to respond before removal? Daworm - ^my _talk - 02:34, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Naturally, but it would be around a week or so. Not everyone is l337 and has daily access to internet. - Demon_SysOp - ^{Talk .:|:. Happy-Wiki Project}
