The community portal is a page where wiki users can gather to check current projects that require attention, and to discuss matters related to the wiki in its discussion page. All wiki contributors are encouraged to check this page every once in awhile. It can always be found on the navigation panel to your left.

== Creating a page ==
 
Creating a page on the wiki is simple. However if you have never before touched a wiki or you aren't as familiar with MediaWiki, it is important that you first get an introduction into it. See the page creation help below.
 
*Create Pages: [[Help:Getting Started|Page creation help]]
 
 
 
=== Faction page ===
 
The official wiki offers a place for the community to create a faction page, and interact with others. How it works is that when a faction page is created is that it is immidiately posted publicly on the faction page. The faction can use their pages as they like, be it to store information for their members or for the public to see. To find out more information, please see the faction help page.
 
*Faction Pages: [[Help:Faction pages|Faction page help]]
 
 
 
=== Item page ===
 
Item pages are blocks, materials, ores, and components on the wiki. When creating a new item page, there is a template to be used so that it may be categorized. While each block varies, some basic rules must be followed in order to keep it organized. More information can be found in the help page.
 
*Item Pages: [[Help:Item pages|Item page formatting]]
 
 
 
=== Mod page ===
 
Mod makers have the ability to make use of the information space available on the wiki and create their own mod pages. It can be used to store all their updates, and all other information that they have no other place to keep it. More information to create a mod page can be found in the mod help.
 
*Mod Pages: [[Help:Mod pages|Mod pages]]
 
 
 
=== Server page ===
 
Dedicated server owners are given the opportunity to create a page (or pages) for their server to store information, rules, events, etc. When using the server template, the page is advertised and shown publicly to others interested. More information on how to create this page in the help page.
 
*Server Pages: [[Help:Server pages|Server page help]]
 
 
 
=== User pages ===
 
User pages are areas of the wiki that users can use however they wish. They can create as many sub pages of their user page as desired. Anything can be posted in wiki user pages (ship building, mod planning, designs, etc). More information can be found in the user help page.
 
*User Pages: [[Help:User pages|User pages]]
 
 
 
=== Creating a translated page ===
 
For those who wish to help localize (translate) our wiki, please see the translation help page for instructions on how to create a translated page.
 
*Translate Pages: [[Help:Localization|Translation help page]]
 
 
 
=== Deleting a page ===
 
If a page needs to be deleted mark the page with the {{delete|''reason''}} tag. This will put a notice on the page so an administrator may evaluate it and delete it if needed. Replace reason with your actual reason for page deletion.
 
 
 
== Discussion pages ==
 
Otherwise known as "talk" pages. Each page has an attached "discussion" page. This tab is located close to the top-left of each wiki page. These pages allow wiki users to discuss the current page topic with others. To learn how to use discussion pages, see the help page.
