Frequently Asked Questions
[edit] Can I edit, change, add, and create pages?
- Yes! This is a wiki. By all means, do what you want. If we didn't want you editing/creating documents, we wouldn't give everyone the ability to do so, would we?! If you've done something wrong, we'll let you know. In this community, it's better to ask forgiveness later than permission now. All we ask is that in doing so you follow the guidelines and to be kind.
[edit] How do I add an image here?
- You can add an image very easily just follow these instructions
[edit] How do I create a page here?
- When you edit a page, you can add "[[" and "]]" around a word to make it an internal link. If there is no page that exists with that name, the link will be red and you can write the page. It is good to use the search bar first to make sure that there isn't already a page with a similar name.
[edit] I have a great idea for a vehicle/weapon/character, can I add it?
- No. Half-Life Wiki should only contain information that is Half-Life canon. Perhaps you would like to write a story using your ideas and submit it to a site that accepts fanfiction, such as Fanfiction.Net.
[edit] I want to share some of the glitches I know. How do I get them on the list?
- Give a name to these glitches or use a common one, and add links to the list. See "creating pages" above. Then write articles about the glitches. You might want to check through the list to make sure there isn't already mention of such glitches under an unfamiliar name.
[edit] How can I play Ogg sound files?
- See here for instructions.
[edit] "My question isn't on the FAQ. What now?"
