Line 9:
===A User Page===
A blank user page is created when you sign up for an account. Your user name in page histories, recent changes, and your signature will be linked to this page, so people may click on these to find out more about you.
There is no set requirement for what is displayed on your User Page- you can describe as much or as little about yourself as you like. You can describe your contributions to the Wiki, or keep a collection of useful links to wiki pages or just use it to keep reminders for yourself. It's a place for you to tell other editors about yourself.

<h4>Tips for your User Page</h4>
*'''Protect your User Page''': Although not a major problem on this wiki, anonymous users can vadalise your user page. To prevent this, protect your page from anonymous users. This can be done by clicking on the "protect" icon which is found at the top of the page
Line 29 ⟶ 30:
===Tips about becoming Part of the Community===
*'''Visit the [[RollerCoaster Tycoon:Community Portal|Community Portal]]''': This is the easiest way for a group of editors to talk about what new projects they are taking on, as well as ways to improve. Even if you don't have anything to say, you can still get an insight as to what is going on. When you visit it, '''you should follow the page so you are alerted whenever an edit is made'''.
*'''Introduce yourself''': The best way to do this is on your User Page, however it is not the only way. You can make an edit to the community portal, or (the one I suggest the most) write a blog. You can find a link to your blog from your userpage. You can also leave a message on an administrators talk page.
*'''Get Editing!!!''': The more edits you make, the more chance you have of people noticing you. Once a person sees you, I'm sure they'll say hi, and if they don't, say hello to them! It's a great group of people on here and we are all really friendly so don't be afraid.
Line 47 ⟶ 48:
In any given article on any wiki, chances are eventually you will be reading an article that has a link on it. This link can be one of two colours.
Blue Links are links that will link you to another already existing article.
Red Links are links that link you to a page does not exist (and normally if it is a link, it should be one). It is effectively a dead-end. Red links are bad, and any good wiki should have as little as possible, the RCT wiki is no exception.
example:
[[Roller Coaster]] is blue and therefore links to the Roller Coaster page.
