Help:Getting started

Registration

If you wish to contribute here at Meijin VS., you will first need to create an account, which can be done by clicking on "Create Account" on the top right of the page you are visiting.
As the website is currently in its infancy, newly made accounts must be manually greenlit, so, for now, you can try to go ahead and contact me, the spearhead of this wiki, on my personal Discord (mastahdizzy).
Eventually, once the wiki will be properly fiddled out, accounts will have a period of automatic validation, at which they will become approved after 2 days of registration, so between then, hang on tight!

Editing

Notepad++ is recommended for editing, as it actively backs up what you are doing, though the wiki also provides a visual editor to aid as well.

If MediaWiki syntax is something you are unfamiliar with, feel free to check the helpful links below.

If you wish to familiarize yourself with Meijin's guidelines on how articles are written, take a look at the official pages within the wiki. Once you are properly accustomed to the wiki's overall formatting, you can go ahead and check its community roadmap to see where a pair of hands is most needed.

Be cautious of the existing templates and categories used around the wiki as well to avoid redundant articles or modifications.

Do you wish to contribute?

If you are willing to contribute to the wiki by providing to pre-existing pages that are WIP, or by making a new entry for a game that isn't within our database, feel free to check the "How can I contribute?" page for better information about it!
