Getting Started

Space Engineers Wiki is a resource that is edited and maintained by the players. It does not allow anonymous edits. In order to edit pages you must first create an account by clicking the create account link in the top right of this page or pressing the following link: Create Account

After your account is created, be sure to read the rules and head on over to the Community Portal to see a list of current projects.

Formatting Help

For formatting help please visit this page: MediaWiki Formatting

Additional advanced formatting can be used in templates and pages and has been enabled on the wiki: Parser Functions

For language pages use the {{DISPLAYTITLE:pagename}} tag to name your pages, replace pagename with the translated page name.

Supported languages

This wiki currently supports English, Polish (/pl), French (/fr), Russian (/ru), German(/de), Czech (/cs), and Spanish (/es). To create a new page for your language visit the corresponding page in English, edit your address bar to include the language code (for example: Visit the Example page then edit the top url to http://www.spaceengineerswiki.com/index.php?title=Example/de to create the german page. You can then create a redirect page if one does not exist that will redirect the page title to the properly located page.

For example:

If no page for Creative Mode was available in German you could create the page Creative Mode/de then redirect the page Kreativmodus to Creative Mode/de. By using the #REDIRECT [[Creative Mode/de]] syntax. For redirects to work, nothing else is allowed on the page.

Note: If the link for the translated page does not appear on the right for the English page you can force the page to refresh by adding ?action=purge to the url. For example, if you create Example/de you can go to Example and paste ?action=purge, so your url would look like: http://www.spaceengineerswiki.com/index.php?title=Example?action=purge This will reset the automatic language links for that page.

Page Deletion

If a page needs to be deleted mark the page with the {{delete|reason}} tag. This will put a notice on the page so an administrator may evaluate it and delete it if needed. Replace reason with your actual reason for page deletion.
