This editing guide serves as a quick how-to reference for editing the eWrestling Encyclopedia. For further editing help and information, see the help guide contents.

The eWE uses Wiki markup, a type of formatting designed for ease of use. HTML can be used, but should be avoided unless it is not possible.

Line breaks
New lines can be inserted as if using a word processor, and do not require a special tag to be done. The "BR" tag in HTML works, but should be avoided. A space between lines starts a new paragraph, again as if word processing.

Linking between articles
A great art in the software is the ability to easily create links inbetween articles. To do this simply use. So, for example,  appears as "He would then go onto win the UWF Jobber Championship".

It is also possible to easily create piped links. These are links between articles that display one thing, and link to another. So, say you want to link to Karl Zarn, and display "Zarn" instead of the full name of the article. To do this, type. This would, display as "Zarn". As you can try now, this links to Karl Zarn, but displays as Zarn.

You may have noticed that linking to categories and images makes them appear, instead of linking them. To link to them without adding the article to the category/displaying the image, use, for example. The extra colon at the front is what makes the difference; the link is displayed as Category:1983 births.

Creating redirects
You may want to create a redirect article. These are useful to make it easier for people to find a page. To create one you create the article with the only content being. For example, you may want to redirect EDH to Exceptional Dave Hurst. To do this, create EDH with the only content being. However, avoid making a redirect go through another redirect; direct it straight to the target.

Adding articles to categories
Add  at the bottom of the article. For more information, see Project:Navigation.

Moving pages
Click the "Move" button at the top of the article you want to move. Then, define the place you want to move it to. Only logged-in users may do this.

Uploading content
You can upload images via "Upload file" on the left of most pages. For more information, and for how to insert the images into articles, see Project:Images. Only logged-in users may do this.
