Revision as of 03:09, 2 April 2019

Account Creation

In order to prevent vandalism and bot spam, self-creation of accounts has been disabled.
Therefore you need to ask @Dwarden for an account at our discord, or on BI Forums.

Rules & Recommendations

Read the Bohemia Interactive Community Guidelines
Use the BI Community Wiki naming conventions
Check the cheatsheet, it holds all the basic editing information
You can refer to Bohemia Interactive Community:Formatting for information on wikitext
Use categories to distinguish content specific for a particular project (e.g. not everything for OFP makes sense for Arma etc.)
Check the "This is a minor edit" box for small edits to keep version history easy to read
Include some summary text of edits you have made
Use the AnswerMe template if you have a question
Add your signature on talk pages.
- See these instructions.
Collaborate with other contributors on the Arma 3 Discord #community_wiki channel.
For experimentation either use this public Sandbox or the one in your personal space.

You can find some excellent starting points for learning to edit the BI Wiki below, and on the help page
