Review policy and conventions

 * Make sure that you submit information which is relevant to the specific purpose of the wiki, or your content might be deleted. You can always use the talk pages to ask questions or check to see if your idea will be accepted. Please make note of the license your contributions will be covered with.

Start editing

 * To start editing a Sega Wiki page, click the Edit link on the top next to the page name. This brings you to the edit page: a page with a text box containing the wikitext - the editable code from which the server produces the finished page. If you just want to experiment, please do so in the sandbox, not here.

Type your changes

 * You can just type your text. However, also using basic wiki markup to make links and do simple formatting adds to the value of your contribution. Wikias have style guidelines available. If you follow these, your contributions will be more valuable as they won't need to be cleaned up later.

Preview before saving

 * When you have finished, click Show preview to see how your changes will look before you make them permanent. Repeat the edit/preview process until you are satisfied, then click Save page and your changes will be immediately applied to the article.
