Adding a set article

To add a new set article, go to the All Sets (Name) page and either click on the set or add it to the page if it isn't listed. Do not add sets to the All Sets (Year) page. When adding a new set article, please be sure to change the category at the bottom of the page.

Adding Spaces

For long lists of text (like checklists) it's best to add a space after every line. Using an editor like Notepad++ allows you to add the spaces quickly by doing a mass replace (search -> replace) and replacing all \n with \n\n. Make sure extended mode is selected.

Adding a Reference

To add a reference (aka footnote) first add the URL after the text with ref tags surrounding it, like this:

Starting in 2010, Topps will have exclusivity on USA Baseball cards. <ref>http://www.topps.com/sports/news/toppsNews.aspx?news_id=309</ref>

Then, at the bottom of the article, add this:

==References==

<references/>

Recent Changes

The recent changes page displays these characters:

diff = shows the difference in the change

hist = show the entire page history

N = a new page was created

m = a minor edit

! = unpatrolled edit (not sure if this is useful yet)
