== Wiki content ==  
* [[Super Ninetendo Entertainment System]]
There are four types of pages: files, articles, categories, and template pages. They are organized under a system known as '''namespace''', and the top-left tab of a page states its page type. Each namespace has its own functionality, for example, an uploaded file may automatically include metadata, which editors cannot insert themselves.
* [[Nintedo 64]]
 
* [[Nintendo Gamecube]]
Each namespace must be used appropriately, as the content has a different effect between namespace. Templates are among the most evident example. For more information, see [[Help:Contents#Contents|Help:Contents]].
* [[Nintedno DS]]
* [[Wii]]
* [[Virtual Console]]


== Wiki Related ==
=== Articles ===
=== Articles ===
* [[:Category:Article Group]]
Articles are the main and most essential pages of a wiki. These include content pages (like [[#Game Related Content]] and [[#Real World Content]]). A related namespace, the Help namespace, provides direct information on Lylat Wiki itself, for example, [[:Category:Policy Pages|policies]].
 
=== Templates ===
=== Templates ===
Templates can be thought of as a design that is easily usable between numerous pages. Every template has its own purpose, which is described in its documentation. If a template is missing information or its documentation does not exist, feel free to add the information or report it on the template discussion page.
* [[:Category:Documentation]]

=== Categories ===
=== Categories ===
* [[:Category:Root]]
Categories are, as the name suggests, a collection of pages with relevance to the category title. Each page with the namespace <code>Category:</code> is treated as a category, and thus has will have the following sections. If there are no members that fall under the heading, it will not display.
=== Files ===
 
* [[:Category:File Group]]
Every category must somehow branch under the root category, [[:Category:Lylat Wiki]], or its appropriate subcategory (e.g. [[:Category:Star Fox 64]] must be sub-categorized under [[:Category:Games]]). Some categories are an exception to this rule, and have a specific reason as to why. A list of every category is [[Special:Categories|here]].


;Subcategories
:If other categories branch from the current category, it shows up under this heading.
;Pages
:Any article, policy, or template that are tagged with the category.
;Media
:Every file that is tagged with the category


== Fun ==
=== Files ===
* [[Help:Userboxes]]
Files are images and audio that are uploaded on to Lylat Wiki. Any file above 5MB in size cannot be added. A few sections are includes on a file page:
* [[Help:Userbox List]]


;File History
:If an older version of a file is superseded by a newer one, the previous image is archived under this title.
;File Links
:This lists which pages that the file is embedded in.
;Metadata
:As mentioned earlier, the image metadata may be included, especially real world photos that originate from a camera.


== Other ==
There are a few useful pages for files.
* [[Lylat Wiki:Community Portal]]  
* To see how images are sorted, see [[:Category:Images]]
* [[Lylat Wiki:Corneria]]  
* To see files sorted from newest to oldest, see [[Special:NewFiles]]  
* [[Lylat Wiki:Affiliates]]
* To upload a file, use [[Special:Upload]]
* [[:Category:Community Page]]
* For more information, see [[Help:Images]]


=== Navigation ===
== Fun ==
* [[:Category:Disambiguation Page]]
As a community, it is important to have fun once in a while. One way of doing this is with your user pages. Every registered user has their own userpage, which can found by typing <code>User:</code> followed by the username. Another method is by clicking the username, which is located at the top-right of the web page (for the Monobook skin).


== Administration ==
=== Userboxes ===
* [[Lylat Wiki:Administrators]]  
Userpages often have userboxes that are usually used to describe the user. To find out more, see [[Help:Userboxes]] or the category [[:Category:Userboxes]].

There are four types of pages: files, articles, categories, and template pages. They are organized under a system known as namespace, and the top-left tab of a page states its page type. Each namespace has its own functionality, for example, an uploaded file may automatically include metadata, which editors cannot insert themselves.

Each namespace must be used appropriately, as the content has a different effect between namespace. Templates are among the most evident example. For more information, see Help:Contents.

Articles

Articles are the main and most essential pages of a wiki. These include content pages (like #Game Related Content and #Real World Content). A related namespace, the Help namespace, provides direct information on Lylat Wiki itself, for example, policies.

Templates

Templates can be thought of as a design that is easily usable between numerous pages. Every template has its own purpose, which is described in its documentation. If a template is missing information or its documentation does not exist, feel free to add the information or report it on the template discussion page.

Categories

Categories are, as the name suggests, a collection of pages with relevance to the category title. Each page with the namespace Category: is treated as a category, and thus has will have the following sections. If there are no members that fall under the heading, it will not display.

Every category must somehow branch under the root category, Category:Lylat Wiki, or its appropriate subcategory (e.g. Category:Star Fox 64 must be sub-categorized under Category:Games). Some categories are an exception to this rule, and have a specific reason as to why. A list of every category is here.

Subcategories
If other categories branch from the current category, it shows up under this heading.
Pages
Any article, policy, or template that are tagged with the category.
Media
Every file that is tagged with the category

Files

Files are images and audio that are uploaded on to Lylat Wiki. Any file above 5MB in size cannot be added. A few sections are includes on a file page:

File History
If an older version of a file is superseded by a newer one, the previous image is archived under this title.
File Links
This lists which pages that the file is embedded in.
Metadata
As mentioned earlier, the image metadata may be included, especially real world photos that originate from a camera.

There are a few useful pages for files.

Fun

As a community, it is important to have fun once in a while. One way of doing this is with your user pages. Every registered user has their own userpage, which can found by typing User: followed by the username. Another method is by clicking the username, which is located at the top-right of the web page (for the Monobook skin).

Userboxes

Userpages often have userboxes that are usually used to describe the user. To find out more, see Help:Userboxes or the category Category:Userboxes.
