=Help Getting Started=
If you're new to Wiki editing, take a look at our [[:Help:Getting started|Help getting started]] page<br>

=New Daily Episode Pages=
You can start a new daily episode page by entering this into an empty page, saving the page, and then re-editing it:<br clear=all>
<code><nowiki>{{subst:EpisodeTemplate|Film Name|Episode number}}</nowiki></code><br>
(Where "Film Name" can be changed to any of the film names, as described [[:Help:Film names|here]], and "Episode number" is what minute of the movie is covered by that episode).<br />
To see / edit the template, go to [[Template:EpisodeTemplate]]. There are comments (not visible until editing / viewing source) to help with filling in the various sections.

=New Star Wars Minute: Weekend Edition Pages=
You can start a new weekend edition episode page by entering this into an empty page, saving the page, and then re-editing it:<br />
<code><nowiki>{{subst:SWM:WETemplate||Episode number}}</nowiki></code><br />
(Where once again you should fill in the "Episode number" with the number of the SWM:WE episode you're writing).

To see / edit the template, go to [[Template:SWM:WETemplate]]. There are comments (not visible until editing / viewing source) to help with filling in the various sections.


For a complete list of templates you can use to make the various types of episode pages, see [[:Category:Episode page templates]].

=New Guest Pages=
You can start a new guest page by entering this into an empty page, saving the page, and then re-editing it:<br />
<code><nowiki>{{subst:GuestTemplate}}</nowiki></code><br />
To see / edit the template, go to [[Template:GuestTemplate]]. There are comments (not visible until editing / viewing source) to help with filling in the various sections.

=Common Section Headings and Links=
You can find a list of commonly linked-to section headings on popular pages useful for copying and pasting here:
;[[Copy/Paste]].

=Nitpicky Stuff=
In an effort to keep the wiki professional-looking and somewhat uniform, here's a brief protocol guide for writing article copy. Obviously adherence to this guide is not required, but we will try to follow it where we can.
{|class="wikitable"
!Rule
!Example
|-
|Capitalization
|Words like "Rebel"/"Rebellion" and "Empire"/"Imperial" as well as "Prequels", "Original Trilogy", and "the Force" are proper nouns in the context of Star Wars and should be capitalized.
Also, when abbreviating the movie titles (for example, ANH, ESB, ROTJ), we capitalize the abbreviation.
|-
|Bolding
|If you happen to use the name of the episode in the description on the wiki page, we will bold that text.
Here's an example from [[The Empire Strikes Back 80|Minute 80 of '' The Empire Strikes Back'']]: "...gentle but <b> persistent wind</b> on the platform..."
|-
|Italics
|We italicize [[Film Names]], such as ''The Phantom Menace''. When referring to the film ''Star Wars'', it ''should be italicized'', but when referring to the franchise or the universe it depicts, it ''should not.''
We also italicize editors notes when we make comments on things stated on the podcast. [[The Empire Strikes Back 3]] has an example of this.
|-
|Capitals AND italics
|When using the full name of the podcast, we capitalize and italicize all the letters like so: the ''STAR WARS MINUTE''
