I trust you're new, and need some help on how it all works. Here are some commonly asked questions to get you started with this wiki, WikiBound, or wikis in general.

==What's a wiki?== | |||
A [[wikipedia:wiki|wiki]] is a unique kind of website with contents that can be edited by anyone. WikiBound, like most other wikis, is designed to provide everyone with up-to-date information about something. The best-known example of a wiki is [[wikipedia:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]]. | A [[wikipedia:wiki|wiki]] is a unique kind of website with contents that can be edited by anyone.

==How do I edit and contribute?== | |||
To contribute to a page, just click "Edit this page" at the top of the page's contents. Sometimes it may be a good idea to make a [[Help:New page|new page]]. While editing a new or existing page, you can format text, and insert links, tables, and many other useful things. The formatting buttons above the editing section can help with that, and you can also click the "preview" button at the bottom of the page to preview your work. Wikis use a special set of symbols called "Wiki markup" to render pages, and you can learn more about them on the [[Help:Editing|editing help page]]. | To contribute to a page, just click "Edit this page" at the top of the page's contents.

==Isn't this just like Wikipedia?== | |||
Not at all. [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] provides general information for virtually everything, but does not focus specifically on the [[Mother (series)|''Mother''/''EarthBound'' series]]. Here you can find instant information about these games. See [[WikiBound:About]]. | Not at all.
