In this Help section, you will find information, tips, standards and practices for editing the RV Wiki.

I need help with searching or browsing

There is a search box in the upper-right corner of every page, with the word Search in it. Just type in there what you are looking for and press enter. See Help:Searching for more details. A good starting point for browsing is the RV Wiki Main Page. For more information, please see the Help:Readers' FAQ.

I want to report a problem with an article

If you spot a problem with an article, you can fix it directly, by clicking on the "Edit" link at the top of that page and using the editor that appears. Be bold in improving articles. When adding facts, please provide references so others may verify them. If you don't feel ready or qualified to fix the article yourself, please post a message about the problem on the article's talk page or the forum. This will bring the matter to the attention of others who work on that article. For your convenience, there is a "Talk" link at the top of every article.

I want to edit RV Wiki

Contributing is easy: see Help:Editing. The Cheatsheet will remind you of basic wiki markup. If you're looking for tasks to help out on, the Wanted Pages is a great place to start. Experiment with editing in the Sandbox. Remember, you should always try to follow the RVWiki Style Guide.

I've never edited a Wiki before

Templates have been provided to try to take as much of the work off the contributors as possible. If you know your RV and can provide very specific information about it, quite a bit of the style and presentation work has already been done. Read the Step by Step to get started.

Getting Started

  • Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.
  • Please use the Sandbox to test your tables, templates or what-all before posting to the main wiki.
