About this website

Who may edit

Only citizens of Nova Roma can edit articles here.

• If you are a citizen and already have a wiki editing account, you can log in here.
• If you are a citizen and want to help to edit this site, you can create a wiki account.
• If you are not a citizen, you can learn about joining Nova Roma.

On Editing the Wiki Pages

The Fourfold way is the basic set of steps used for all edits.

Step 1. Click the edit tab to start making your edits.

Step 2. Enter a note in the edit Summary so others know what you have done. A summary might be as simple as "fix typos", "add links" or "add photo". Not leaving a summary is very bad form.

Step 3. Show preview to check your changes. If it isn't right, go back and do more editing. Every time you save, you create a version of the page that will be saved forever. Unnecessary saves create unnecessary load when backing up the database. Be kind to the server and preview before saving.

Step 4. When you have checked everything, click Save page.

How to upload your photo

• See NovaRoma:Submit Citizen Photo for instructions on uploading your Album Civium profile photo.

Editing guidelines and tutorials

• Extensive editing tutorials and help files for editors and translators are listed on the Help Files page.

• Our various guidelines can be found at Category:Style Guide
