 ====== Contributing ======
-> //So you want to contribute to the wiki? Awesome, thank you!//
+Anyone can edit the PkHonor Wiki. This wiki is full written and maintained by the playerbase. This means that you can also make changes, and help us improve! Contributing is really easy, once you join the 'Wiki contributors' usergroup:
+===== How to start contributing =====
+To start making changes to the Wiki, you will have to join the **'Wiki contributors'** usergroup.\\
+Please make sure you are familiar with [[info:contributing#guidelines|the guidelines]] before becoming a wiki contributor.
+To become a contributor, [[http://forums.pkhonor.net/ucp.php?i=groups|go to the usergroup panel]].\\ Scroll down to the Non-memberships, tick the box just right from the Wiki contributor group, and click the 'Submit'-button:
+{{ :info:wiki_contributors.png?nolink |}}
+// Congratulations! You're now an official Wiki contributor!//
+Wiki contributors can see and create drafts. This means that you will be able to see unapproved changes made by other users, as well as submit your own changes for approval. Once approved your changes are visible to everyone.

+===== How to edit a page =====
+Now that you're a Wiki contributor, you will notice the pencil icon in the menu to the right of pages.\\
+<fs small>**Note:** Not all pages are editable. Some can only be edited by staff members.</fs>
+{{ :info:edit-pages.png?nolink |}}
+When you click on the pencil icon, it shows the page you were viewing in an text-editor. Feel free to make changes in the text-editor and save them once you're done. Be sure to add a summary to your change, so other players will know what you changed.
+Once you saved your change, you will be redirected back to the guide, and you will notice a warning on the page:
+{{ :info:approve_document.png?nolink |}}
+This basically means your edits will have to be reviewed and approved by a staff member or Wiki editor. This usually won't take too long, and once your changes have been approved, they will become public for all players to see.
+<WRAP tip round box 500px center>**TIP:** Use the [[wiki:syntax_full|syntax guide]] to get a good understanding on how to use the text-editor. It can also be helpful to look at some existing pages and look how they're made. Feel free to copy some of the elements and change them to your liking.</WRAP>
