Get started with editing the wiki.

Anyone can edit any page and improve articles immediately for all readers. You just need to create an account and ask for editing permissions here. The RTGame Wiki uses two methods of editing: the simpler VisualEditor, and classic editing through source mode.

Your first edits
A beginner's guide on how to use VisualEditor, a user-friendly system that allows you to edit without the need to learn wikitext.
The basics of VisualEditor
Some more detailed tips on editing using VisualEditor, including how to add links and format bold and italic text.

Using source mode

Source mode allows you to see all of the wikitext on a page and to edit it directly. If you are trying to make more complex changes, you should switch to the source mode in the editor.

Introduction to source mode
Editing using the classic source mode, which allows you to view and change wikitext directly.
Cheat sheet for source mode
