From time to time, i have noticed people being afraid of editing Liquipedia. The reasons for this are versatile, but a few of the more common ones are:
  • I'm afraid to mess something up
  • I don't know how to do stuff
  • I clicked on edit and all this code is confusing me
Of course, wikicode can be confusing at first sight, but it actually is not that hard to start off with some of the easier stuff. For all the people who want to see how the easier stuff is done, i created this easy guide to your first steps on Liquipedia.


Liquipedia for Dummies

If you want to get started, feel free to visit our chat, we will be happy to get you started on Liquipedia

I started editting the wiki to just include my videos. at first I was hella scared haha, but honestly if people are trying to format things to look pretty like what you see elsewhere on the site, just copy paste the format and fill everything in. its a great way to self learn c:

Wow, this is pretty amazing!

Getting more people into editing is always fantastic, and everybody should be forced to contribute to Liquipedia to keep it on top as the #1 esports resource.

I typed "what the fuck" in the first box and it came out as "what the fuck" in the next one, am I missing something here?

I'm sure it's no coincidence that this is surfacing not long after FO-nTTaX spent a good 45 minutes or so with me earlier today teaching me how to do basic stuff. I am a Dummy

But thanks! :D

You're just copying w3schools' tutorials idea here! Good start though I agree with FlaShFTW's post. Start that way and you'll soon learn how to edit LP without fear of breaking it

Testing stuff on your userpage is a great way to test stuff aswell! Since it is your personal page, you can test whatever you want there

Did you deactivate JavaScript? Because this depends on JavaScript. You can still log into the real Liquipedia and try this stuff on your userpage.

nice pho! A suggestion I'd have would be to also integrate this into the wiki directly to help with the onboarding process (perhaps even a whole space dedicated to onboarding) for new contributors.

Thanks for this, FO. I know I've been the bane of #Liquipedia for asking questions and such. This is really appreciated!

I'd also recommend people go here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup as it really helped me with a few bits and pieces.

Great idea.

I followed the tutorial as if I knew nothing about code. The result can be found here.

Yeah, ridiculous. But great initiative once again.
