Finding Information on the Wiki[edit source]

The first thing to realize about the Wiki is that it is a Wiki. If you are unfamiliar with the Wiki concept, the quintessential example of a Wiki is Wikipedia - an encyclopedia written by thousands of online contributors.

Because of the nature of the Wiki, it is important to understand the way things are laid out in order to find information. The organization of the Wiki can make incredible amounts of information very easy to find, but only if you know where it is.

Searching[edit source]

Searching is the most obvious way to find information on the Creation Kit Wiki. Depending on the skin you're using, the Search box may be found in the upper-right corner of the screen, on the left side, or at the top center. It will return any and all pages which contain the words you type in it. The Search tool is useful, but is has some important limitations, so please visit our page dedicated to making the most of your search.

Asking Questions[edit source]

Every page on the Wiki has its own Discussion or Talk page. This is where questions may be asked and feedback given. Questions on the Wiki ought to pertain to confusion regarding the page in question, or about where to find information. Questions should not be about your specific mod - such questions go on the Forums.

Questions should get their own Secondary Header at the top of the page, and the header should be something meaningful - please don't just write "Help!" in the header. At the end of your question, please sign the question as described in here.

Feedback is also encouraged. If anything on the page is unclear or confusing, mentioning that is significant boon to the Wiki as a whole. Please follow the same guidelines for feedback as for questions.

Please do not ask questions, give feedback, or add signatures in the actual articles. Always use the associated Talk page.
