Best Practices

A comprehensive guide regarding creating articles can be found at Wikipedia:Help:Your_first_article.

Choosing a Topic

The beauty of specificity

Entering the rabbithole of a wiki means exploring as deeply as the wiki allows. Short, complete articles about a specific subject are more effective at communicating information than wikipedia:War and Peace regarding Tyres (or Tires, if you prefer. They both go to the same place). Write about a small topic first.

Search for an existing article

There are several ways to do this. The search bar at the top of the page is a good start. In addition, you may browse the categories below:

[[Category:Team]]</code>

[[Category:Competition]]</code>

[[Category:Vehicle]]</code>





Not all articles are categorized. Navigate to Special:AllPages to see all articles.

Gather reference information

Citations

There is an extension for this! When you write a paragraph and wish to cite something, use the <ref>CITATION HERE</ref> Function. Then, at the bottom of the page (in a "references" or "notes" section), write <references />. It'll spit out everything you've cited above in a footnote format.
