  • Make an account and log in - see the top right of this page.
  • Make a new page by modifying your URL to have the name of your submission.
  • You'll be prompted that the page doesn't exist, with a link to create a new page. Click that link.
  • Edit the page as you will with details - a description, a link to the game, a screenshot or two.
  • Add this line of text at the bottom of the page: [[Category:Community Content]] This will allow your new page to show up in the Community Content page.

Adding a sidebar

  • If you want a fancy sidebar like on the official Games pages, use the following line at the top of your page:
    • {{Infobox|logohere.png|datehere|developerhere|linkhere|sizehere}}
    • You will need to change the info inbetween the brackets. The following are what the individual fields do. Make sure they're seperated by the vertical line (|).
      • Infobox: Required for the wiki to know it's the sidebar you want. Don't touch it.
      • logohere.png: Upload an image using the link on the left sidebar of the wiki, then put the file name once the file is uploaded in this space to change the image displayed.
      • datehere: Change this to the release date of your game or application.
      • developerhere: Put your name in this box.
      • linkhere: Put a link to your game download. You can use the Upload File link on the right if the game is less than 5MB, otherwise, use another source (we recommend Archive.org).
      • sizehere: Put text describing how big your game is (320KB, 8MB, 2.4GB, etc).
  • If you need an example, go and edit any of the official Games pages to see the top line's infobox.
