Write your own BT guide! - Dr.McNinja - 2009-05-12
*Exclamation mark, therefore implying a degree of urgency
Ok chumps, who wants to write their own pro (or noob) guide? No need for fancy editing and rainbows, create your own guide on the Battle Tanks wiki; it is very simple.
0] Create an account on the Wiki, prefably using your forum username.
1] To create a new page, replace "/Main Page" (or whatever page youre on) to "/MyName's Super Duper Cool Guide Or Whatever" (once set, you cant change url except by moving the content)
2] It is a blank page so click on "edit this page."
3] Start writing your guide
If youre new to wiki formatting, here are some tips:
- Use preview to check for errors and spelling
- == XX == is a (section) heading and === XX === is a subheading, you only need subheadings if it is fairly short
- In wiki format, starting a new line (i.e. pressing enter key) will leave the second line connected to the first line, to get a space between you have to leave an actual line spacing or use bullet points-
- Use bullet points by typing * star and each additional star gives it another level, play around and use preview often to see
I have a quick-written template for a guide, put your username first then the name of the guide e.g. "Dr.McNinja's 777 Guide". Punctuation DOES matter, lowercase and uppercase are considered different and you cant change the url once you 'created it'

I just wrote a little tip for starters there. Hope it might be useful.

There is a Tank info list in this forum.

Thanks dragon, though if you do write more guides, link to them on the strategy page by typing the exact page name including capitals surrounded by [[double brackets]], theres also a button that does it for you.
Your tips could be better suited to the tips page or the strategy section in general, i have plans for sections on different ranges etc.. But thanks for the contribution.
Ive already look through the forum tank and items info but they are outdated and unreliable, ive already gained the most current details from ingame and added to a single excel file, which ive used to create the item/weapon/tank list pages on the wiki. I understand some have updates but its too uneven to be depended on for a wiki.
