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.


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.
