 +===== Navigation ===== 
 +There are three major ways to find content in the Star Army wiki: The Sidebar, Search, and Site Map.  
 + 
 +==== Sidebar ==== 
 +You can find a list of major topics in the [[:sidebar|sidebar]]. On desktops and laptops the sidebar is located on the left side of this page. On narrow screens such as phones, the sidebar is minimized and located in a drop-down menu near the top of each page. Some namespaces will have custom sidebars. 
 + 
 +==== Search ==== 
 +You can also search for articles using the search box. For search syntax see [[doku>search]]. Star Army's wiki can be added to your browser's search providers by clicking the magnifying glass icon in your search box.

Star Army wiki pages are organized by type into namespaces, which are essentially folders. For example, there is a //timeline:// namespace for years and events. 
 + 
 +===== Adding Content =====
 In general, everything that happens in the Star Army RP becomes [[guide:canon|canon]], so please add information about any events that occur and characters who appear in the roleplay, so that we can keep the universe internally consistent. Creative contributions are also encouraged; you can expand the edges and fill in the gaps of the setting. Also feel free to fix any typos you find and update outdated pages.
