[[Category:Help]]==Introduction==This is the Diablo Wiki, which is a community depository for ''Diablo and Diablo II'' information of every kind. Any Diablo fan is free to help by expanding sections, just adding numbers, or fixing other editors' typos. As the name might tell you, Diablo Wiki is a 'contents'wiki'', an open source document that anyone can edit or add to. "All page of us are smarter than any the [[:Category:Help|Help Section]] of us," goes the theory. Wikis are designed to be easy to edit; they are primarily text-based, and you do not need to know HTML, PHP, CSS or any other programming language to edit wiki pages{{WikiTitle}}.
==How to Help==
In order to help, you just need to press "Edit" on the article or section that you feel you can contribute on. In most cases, it is just a matter of adding text, or changing a letter or number, so no more skill is required. If you want to add pages, or make more substantial additions to the wiki, it is good to have a basic understanding on the very simplistic edit markup used in wikis.<br>
<br>
===What you can help with===
* The [[{{WikiTitle}}:Community Portal|Community Portal]] holds a brief summary of current initiatives, which you can check out.
* You can help to build on [[:Category:Stubs|stubs]] that other editors have added.
* Wanted content means pages that are linked to, but they don't yet exist. They need to be filled with content or at least made into <nowiki>{{Stubs}}</nowiki>:
** [[Special:Wantedpages|Wanted pages]]
** [[Special:Wantedcategories|Wanted categories]]
* If you have a bit further experience in wikis, you can add categories to uncategorised:
** [[Special:Uncategorizedpages|Pages]]
** [[Special:Uncategorizedcategories|Categories]]
** [[Special:Uncategorizedimages|Images]]
** [[Special:Uncategorizedtemplates|Templates]]
* If there are completely useless content, you can add the delete tag <nowiki>{{Delete}}</nowiki> on them:
** [[Special:Unusedimages|Images]]
** [[Special:Unusedcategories|Categories]]
** [[Special:Unusedtemplates|Templates]]
* And if you come across any [[Special:BrokenRedirects|broken redirects]] you could be kind enough to fix or tag for deletion.
If you're less of an ''{{NameTitle}}'' expert, or aren't comfortable writing original material, you can help improve existing pages. Almost every page on this wiki could be improved by adding links to other related pages, illustrating the information by inserting thumbnails or links to full screenshots, and improving the navigation (by adding links or categorization) to help people find the pages they seek.
