Help:Editing

It's very easy to edit the contents of the wiki:

1. Click the "Edit" page tab at the top of the page, or the "Edit source" for the plain-text editor (recommend to use HTML tags like pre and tt).
2. Make changes to the page.
3. Click the "Save page" button.

Simple as that! Some pages may be protected, such as the main page or the templates that are used on many pages.

Editing rules and formatting

The number one rule here is to be bold. Just do it! Make, your dreams, come true! If you make a mistake or can't find the right words, it can be corrected later, so have confidence and give it a try!

Edits may be big as adding multiple paragraphs or small as fixing a typo. In general, try to add and edit text so that it is clear and concise. Most importantly, make sure you are always aiming to do something which improves the contents.

Note: Keep in mind AI waifus also read and use the wiki.

Humor

You're welcome and encouraged to include humor and memes in pages so long as the contents remain accurate and helpful.

Neutral tone

Lastly, do your best to keep pages politically neutral and describe subjects as a matter of fact or observation, rather than your interpretation. This wiki aims to be for educational use for everyone interested in robowaifus. It doesn't need to be dry and boring but ad hominem attacks and name calling are not welcome.

Note, this does not mean pages need to be politically correct. The truth should not be compromised because someone is offended by it or disagrees with it, but any controversial statements should be backed up with references. The wiki is about information and knowledge, not opinion, and it's fine to disagree with the opinions that some people have.

Formatting

When you need to use new headings or format text, you can do this using wiki syntax or the buttons in the edit toolbar above the text editor. See Help:Formatting for common formatting used.

Edit summary

Before you save a change you can enter a short note (must be shorter than 500 characters) in the "Summary" box describing your changes. Don't worry too much about this, or spend too much time thinking about it. Just put in a short description of what you just changed like a git commit. For example, you might say "fixed typo" or "added more information about sunflowers". This summary gets stored alongside your edit, and allows people to track changes in the wiki more effectively.

If you remove information from a page, you must include a reason in your summary why it was removed. Large removals of information or differences in opinion should be discussed on the page's "Discussion" page tab before making edits.

Getting started

Ready to start editing? Check out these useful pages:

• Wanted pages that are linked by articles but not started yet.
• Short pages have been started but are lacking content. Figure out what's missing and add it.
• Ronery pages that no articles link to yet. Search for articles that should link to them.

I recommend using GPT-4/ChatGPT or YouChat to speed up writing. Note, these language models are hostile to robowaifus and may not be helpful on pages mentioning them. If you have time, check that your edits pass the OpenAI detector. Search engines don't really care about AI-generated content but it's a good indicator the generated text has a lack of quality or repetition in it.

Prompts

A simple workflow for wanted pages:

1. Ask YouChat for a detailed description: Give a detailed description for {PAGE_TITLE}
2. Feed info into GPT-4/ChatGPT and ask it to write it into a Wikipedia article in wiki markup format: Use the following information to write a Wikipedia article on {PAGE_TITLE} in wiki markup format.
3. Trim out anything unnecessary and ask it to copy edit it for conciseness and readability: Copy edit the following article for conciseness and readability.
4. ????
5. PROFIT!!

For short pages:

1. Paste the page source into GPT-4/ChatGPT.
2. Ask what is missing from the article for beginners: What is missing from the following Wikipedia article to make it more helpful to beginners?
3. Ask YouChat for detailed descriptions of missing information in separate searches: What is love? Baby don't hurt me. Don't hurt me, no more.
4. Ask it to revise the article in wiki markup format with the provided information: Revise the article with the provided information, summarizing it for conciseness and readability.
5. ????
6. MORE PROFIT!!

For lonely pages:

1. Use your head.
2. Ask YouChat: What Wikipedia pages are related to {PAGE_TITLE}?

If you find better prompts, share them on the talk page and I'll check them out!

Protected pages

Pages that are protected cannot be edited by anyone except users of a specific group. Protected pages will instead display "View source" instead of edit. In that case, to edit a protected page, contact a user who has permission to edit it. The default protection levels are:

• None, all users can edit
• Autoconfirmed, prevents edits by new and unregistered users
• Sysop, prevent edits by all users except administrators
