Creating a page
Creating a page on the wiki is simple. However if you have never before touched a wiki or you aren't as familiar with MediaWiki, it is important that you first get an introduction into it. See the page creation help below.

Faction page
The official wiki offers a place for the community to create a faction page, and interact with others. How it works is that when a faction page is created is that it is immidiately posted publicly on the faction page. The faction can use their pages as they like, be it to store information for their members or for the public to see. To find out more information, please see the faction help page.

Item page
Item pages are blocks, materials, ores, and components on the wiki. When creating a new item page, there is a template to be used so that it may be categorized. While each block varies, some basic rules must be followed in order to keep it organized. More information can be found in the help page.
