==FAQ==
===Does Tolkien Gateway have an e-mail address?===
The user-page of any active administrator is a great place to ask any question. However you may always contact {{nospam|hyarion|gmail.com}} for any general inquiries.


==How do I create a new article?==
===How do I create a new article?===
Your best option is to click a red link, you will be directed to the edit page, add your content, click save, and you are good to go.
Your best option is to click a red link, you will be directed to the edit page, add your content, click save, and you are good to go.


If you know of a page you want to create but there are no links to it, simply point your browser to http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Title of Page, you will be brought to a new page (hopefully without any content in it yet), just click the edit button and edit away.
If you know of a page you want to create but there are no links to it, simply type it in the search box and then click the red link.


===Articles about characters===
===Can I create articles about me or that are my own personal views?===
When creating or editing an article about a character in [[Arda]] please start with '''Character Name''' and then begin your description. Please also tell us where the name comes from and what it means in other languages, as well as what other names the character goes by. As well as their lineage and family tree.
Of course! Registered users have something similar to a 'Folder' for creating these articles. Instead of writing the article in the main namespace, just type User:YourUserName/Your_Article_Name. This separates opinionated articles from factual articles.
* An example being if I want to write a fan fiction about [[Beren]] and [[Lúthien]], I'll write it in [[User:Hyarion/Beren_and_Luthien]], then maybe on the [[Fan Fictions]] page I'll link to my story.

For people who have yet to finish reading ''[[The Hobbit]]'', ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', ''[[The Silmarillion]]'', ''[[Unfinished Tales]]'', or even ''[[The History of Middle-earth]]'', be careful when reading through this site: there are quite a few spoilers depending on how much of J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium you have read. We don't want to reveal that [[Frodo Baggins]] falls into [[Mount Doom]] to someone who has not finished The Lord of the Rings and ruin the book for them, now do we?

For people who have yet to finish reading [[The Hobbit]], [[The Lord of the Rings]], [[Unfinished Tales]], or even [[The History of Middle-earth]], be careful when reading through this site, there are quite a bit of spoilers depending on what you do not know. We don't want to reveal that [[Frodo Baggins]] falls into [[Mount Doom]] to someone who has not finished The Lord of the Rings and ruin the book for them now do we!
Due to excessive spamming of links we have added rel=nofollow to any external link, which means when search engines browse the site you will not gain PageRank or higher ranking status on any search engine for placing your link here. This being said, as long as your link is valid and relevant you will of course receive increased traffic because the link is visible.


==Links==
===HTML to Wiki-Syntax===

* [http://www.ebruni.it/en/software/os/i_love_wiki/index.mpl HTML-Wiki-Syntax Tool] - Allows someone to input HTML code and it will be converted to Wiki-Syntax.


==Misc. Tips==
[[Category:Help| ]]
* When using the article's title in the article first bold it, '''Article Name''', then Italicize it, ''Article Name'', then just leave the article name normal.
* When linking to articles you only need to link the first usage. If you continue to use the term [[Silmarils]] for example, there is no need to link all instances of it because it becomes excessive and unnecessary.
 
==Editing==
===Adding new lines===
* Just hit enter twice
* Use <nowiki><br /></nowiki> (this is XHTML compliant)

FAQ

Does Tolkien Gateway have an e-mail address?

The user-page of any active administrator is a great place to ask any question. However you may always contact hyarion12px-nospam.svg.pnggmail.com for any general inquiries.

How do I create a new article?

Your best option is to click a red link, you will be directed to the edit page, add your content, click save, and you are good to go.

If you know of a page you want to create but there are no links to it, simply type it in the search box and then click the red link.

Can I create articles about me or that are my own personal views?

Of course! Registered users have something similar to a 'Folder' for creating these articles. Instead of writing the article in the main namespace, just type User:YourUserName/Your_Article_Name. This separates opinionated articles from factual articles.

Spoilers

For people who have yet to finish reading The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, or even The History of Middle-earth, be careful when reading through this site: there are quite a few spoilers depending on how much of J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium you have read. We don't want to reveal that Frodo Baggins falls into Mount Doom to someone who has not finished The Lord of the Rings and ruin the book for them, now do we?

Links

Due to excessive spamming of links we have added rel=nofollow to any external link, which means when search engines browse the site you will not gain PageRank or higher ranking status on any search engine for placing your link here. This being said, as long as your link is valid and relevant you will of course receive increased traffic because the link is visible.

HTML to Wiki-Syntax
