Editing pages is pretty easy. Just log in, and press edit.

When you'd like to create a new entry, enter the name (should be clean and short) in the text box on the main page, and then write your article according your taste. You should not forget one thing! Put your new article into a category. To do so, simply add any of the following text to the bottom as an internal link (appear as double brackets, third button on the edit bar).

Category:Game

Category:Driving

Category:Competition

Category:Community

Category:Various


Linking

If you want to link from you article to other articles, just type:

[[Link|Link text]]

You can quickly display these double brackets with the third button on the editbar. For example: ZCT|ZCT10 will display on screen as ZCT10 but will link to ZCT.

Redirects

In case you want that an abbreviature or synonym of a certain term inserted in the "Go" field or in any link point automatically to the appropriate page, just create a new page for said synonym and put the following in it...

#REDIRECT [[link to page]]

...and your redirect is ready.

Embedding images/video

For youtube videos enter the NAME of your youtube video like this:

<youtube>sHJdsa83deE</youtube>

For images, press press the "Embed image" button, and upload the image accordingly. After a | sign you can also enter the alignment.

Tables

The quickest way to set up a table is through the following syntax:

 {| class="wikitable"
 ! Headings!! Of !! The            !! Various !! Columns 
 |-
 | Columns || Of || The            || First   || Row 
 |-
 | Columns || Of || The            || Second   || Row 
 |-
 |}

The 'class="wikitable"' instruction will set the appearance parameters to reasonable default values. Using 'wikitable sortable' instead creates a dynamically-sortable table. Special formatting for individual cells can be added between the two pipes ('||') that precede it.

Footnotes

Footnotes can, as of now, be added through the means of an improvised scheme implemented with templates. In the text body, type

{{ToFoot|"id of footnote"}}

to define the link; then add

{{Footn|''id of footnote''}}

just before the footnote so you have an identifier and a back-link.
