New page

== New Users: Aid to Getting Started ==

This site has been around for quite some time now. Over the years a lot of culture and conventions have become the norm for editing and creating new content. It might be a bit of stiff learning ccurve to get the hang of things around here, but once you dig in, we think things will come together for you, and take note that each page comes with a '''"Discussion" tab'''. That is a great place to ask questions about that page in particular, and you can use the '''Community portal discussion tab''' for questions about the site in general.

For starters, this site uses templates to control editing and look n' feel. You are free to build new pages in a free form fashion if you like, but that is probably going to entail a lot more work on your end, and will definitely see a lot of rewrite by other contributors to bring it inline with the mechanics that allow new pages to leverage the functions and infrastructure that we have build into the site.

There are five major areas (and a lot of little ones too) where Herocopia is always in need of help. Each area has specific templates to aid in the editing process.

''' [[Help:Character Editing | #1) Authoring Character Pages]]'''<br>
We use templates for Characters and other things relating to '''Astro City'''. Assistance on how to use them can be found by clicking [[Help:Character Editing | here.]]

''' [[Help:Building Event Note Cards | #2) Building Event Note Cards for Events and Annotations]]'''<br>
We are currently in a big push to build Event Annotation Note Cards. These too are template driven, and they are engineered to generate automatic timelines and appearance lists for just about everything related to Astro City.

More information on how you can help with this part of the '''Herocopia Project''' can be found by clicking [[Help:Building Event Note Cards | here.]]
