Welcome to the tutorial. This is a simple guide to editing on Wikia. If you would like to see a list of help topics instead, try Help:Contents.

What is Wikia?


Wikia is a collection of community websites that you can edit. All the sites here can be edited and improved by any visitor.

How do I create an account?
You don't have to create an account to edit, but it is a good idea to do so. It's free, and very easy.


 * 1) Click on the Special:Userlogin link in the top right of any page.
 * 2) Fill in your chosen user name and a password (remember, this user name will show against all your edits).
 * 3) Type in your password again in the 'Retype password' box.
 * 4) If you want to, add your email.  You don't have to add an email, but it will mean that you won't lose your account if you forget your password.
 * 5) Click the 'Create new account' button.

What can I do here?
Don't be afraid to edit - anyone can edit almost any page, and we encourage you to have a go! Find something that can be improved, either in content, grammar or formatting, and fix it.

You can't break Wikia. Anything can be fixed or improved later. So go ahead, find a page and edit.
