For more detailed help see the wiki policy page

How can I create a new page?

There are a few ways to create a new page in this wiki:

  • Use the search bar. Search the title of the page you want to create. You will be prompted to create a new page if the page does not exist already.
  • Using red links. Click any red link, which looks like this, around the wiki and you will be redirected to a page creation interface.
  • Using the URL https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/ARTICLETITLE. If you replace ARTICLETITLE with the title of the page you want to create, you will be taken to a blank page where you can click Edit (at the top navigation bar) and create your new page.

How do I add references to an article?

There are two ways to create references.

  1. Using the visual editor.
  • Click Insert then More then Basic reference.
  • Another way is to type <ref and the reference insertion dialog will pop up.
  • A third way is to use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+K
  • Using the source editor.
  • Enclose your reference between these tags <ref> </ref>

    Note: Don't forget to add a References section at the bottom of the article so that the complete list of references appears at the end.

    Why do I get an error when trying to upload images/files?

    Due to several instances of spam, brand new accounts can't upload files immidiately.

    If you make a few edits or other contributions around the wiki you will be able to upload files soon.

    Why can't I remove the stub/irrelevant/tone notice from my article?

    In order to ensure the contributions in the wiki fit the Mission statement and comply with Wiki policy only moderators can remove the notices.

    We try to regularly go through the pages but if you want you can use the #appeals channel on our discord server (Join Here) to ask us to review your page.

    If you do not use discord, you can use the talk pages on the wiki and leave a message to any of the moderators. Click here for a list of the current moderators

    I can't see the captcha on the discussion pages. How can I leave my reply?

    This is a known issue that we are actively working on.

    Please use the source editor on the talk page and reply following the Talk page guidelines until this is resolved.

    Once you become a trusted contributor you will not need to complete captchas anymore and will be able to use the discussion pages.

    How do I insert an infobox to my page?

    Infoboxes are templates you can add to your page by navigating to Insert -> Template in the visual editor or putting {{TemplateName}}} in the source editor.
