This guide is meant to help new members become acquainted with editing the Protospace Wiki (this website).
Since the information added to this wiki can be viewed by every member, editing the wiki is an easy way to make a large volunteer contribution.
What is a wiki?
A wiki is a website with a collection of knowledge that can be edited by its users. In our case, the Protospace Wiki can only be edited by logged-in Protospace members.
Our wiki is powered by MediaWiki software, the same software that runs Wikipedia.
Basic Editing
Logging in
- To log in on a desktop (normal computer), click the "Log in" link at the top right of any wiki page.
- To log in on your phone, click the menu button on the top left, then "Log in".
Log in with your Protospace username and password. These are the same as what you use to log into the member portal (Spaceport), the forums (Spacebar), and Protospace computers.
If the log in fails, you may need to authenticate with Spaceport and then try logging in again.
If you're unable to authenticate or you forget your username / password, do a password reset then try again.
