Welcome to the Accessible Gaming Wiki!

The wiki to collaboratively create and share game accessibility resources!

Using the Wiki

Finding Content on the Wiki

There are multiple ways to find content on the wiki.

Use the search box at the top of each page to perform a search. If you type in something like "blind", the search will return all pages that contain the word "blind", as well as any pages that are tagged with the Blind category, if one exists.
There are dynamic lists on this page of the top ten most viewed, newest, and recently edited pages that update every hour.
As previously mentioned, users can tag pages with categories, and the categories will show up as links at the bottom of that page. A specific category link can be clicked on to view all the pages that belong to that category. If you are using a mobile skin like Minerva, the categories will not be visible at the bottom of the page.
You can also check out our site map, for a complete list of pages on the wiki.

Editing Pages

For now, anyone is allowed to create an account and begin editing pages. To encourage collaboration between users, remember there are discussion threads for each page where users can discuss edits or changes to be made to that page.

To edit pages:

The easiest way to edit a page is by adding

?action=edit to the end of any page on the wiki. This will allow you to view the entire source for the page in a single field.

Depending on the skin you are using, there will be links to edit by each heading on a page that will allow you to edit by section, instead of the entire page.
Important: Please use the preview function when editing to avoid too many edits in the log files.

Creating Pages

To create a page, simply type the URL of the page you want to create. For example, if you wanted to create a page about racing games, you would type

accessiblegaming.wiki/RacingGames

If the page exists, it will load that page. If the page does not exist, there will be a link on the page that will let you create it.
This wiki also supports namespaces, which are basically folders that contain files (pages). For example, This URL has /Pokemon/BlackWhite

https://accessiblegaming.wiki/Pokemon/BlackWhite Any pages that come after /Pokemon/ will be tied to the namespace that contains them, which is Pokemon. This prevents users from having to make pages like /PokemonBlackWhiteWalkthrough, /PokemonBlackWhiteMods, etc. Basically, if there are multiple pages that are all relevant to each other in some way, it probably wouldn't hurt to have a namespace for them.

 ==Welcome to the Accessible Gaming Wiki!==
-The goal of this wiki is to consolidate all of the game accessibility information that is out there into a single place. This is a brand new project and I'm still learning the ropes on how to organize the content, so expect many changes that may or may not temporarily break things while I figure it all out!
+The wiki to collaboratively create and share game accessibility resources!
+===Using the Wiki===
+====Finding Content on the Wiki====
+There are multiple ways to find content on the wiki.
