Help:Getting Started

Introduction
Welcome to Rushpedia! Thank you for your interest in making this wiki more complete and accurate. There's a lot of work to be done, and to try and make it easier on you, we have multiple help pages for your reference. Please give them a glance, and if you still have any questions, be sure to contact other Rushpedia users or the admins.

New to Editing on a Wiki?
If you've never contributed on a wiki before, check out this tutorial from Wikipedia to learn the basics. If you know HTML (like the different elements and how to make comments), you can use that as well (though try to avoid using HTML outside of templates as much as you can since not everyone is familiar with it).

Style Guide
To ensure a consistent look throughout Rushpedia, we have Help:Style Guide, which describes the preferred formatting for page edits. Please consult this page before making an edit on Rushpedia.

Card Pages
The main feature of this wiki is the card pages. Several different templates are used to construct this page. Help:Card Page Skeleton has pretty much everything you need to initialize a card page. We also have help pages for these templates!
 * Help:CardBox
 * Help:PropertyAssignment
 * Help:NoRulingsTranslations
 * Help:OtherLanguagesTable
 * Help:CardPrintingsTable and Help:CardPrintingsRow
 * Help:GalleryLink
 * Help:RefBuilder
 * Help:SeriesTable

This looks like a lot of links, but most of these templates are very simple and straightforward, we promise!

Set Pages
Pages focused on card products rely on one major template and a few supplemental ones. Help:Set Page Skeleton has the basics written out, and there are help pages for the templates as well:
 * Help:SetPage
 * Help:SetCardListRow
 * Help:RefBuilder

Other Pages
Other page types (such as anime-related pages) are still being developed. As the necessary templates for those pages are released, we will update this guide with tutorials for using those tools.

Semantic MediaWiki
This wiki uses Semantic MediaWiki to make card information easier to access. Cards can have different attributes called "Properties". You can write queries to get a list of cards with certain values for a specified property (or properties).

A list of all properties on this wiki can be viewed at Special:Properties. To see which properties a card has values for, you can use Special:Browse and type in the card's name. Special:Ask is your sandbox for testing out different queries; check out the tutorials on Semantic MediaWiki's website for help with that (we recommend starting with this one).
