Proclaim: /* Adding a game */

Welcome to the [http://speeddemosarchive.com SDA] Strategy Wiki, where you can find or contribute information about tricks, routes, boss strategies, and planning in general. If a game you're trying to find isn't here, then feel free to make a page for it using the instructions below. If you don't know of any tricks for the game, you might find these pages useful:

* [[Generic techniques]]
* [[Bughunting]]

==Finding a game==
The wiki currently hosts '''{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Games}}''' games on {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Systems}} different systems. Use the [[Special:Search|search function]] to find a game you're looking for, or browse through the categories listed below.

* [[:Category:Games|Games]]: a list of all games that have a page on the wiki.
* [[:Category:Engines|Engines]]: a list of all game engines that have a page on the wiki.
* [[:Category:Systems|Systems]]: a list of all systems for which a game page exists.

==Adding a game==
To add a game to the wiki, simply search for the game's name in the search box, then click the red link with the name you typed. If you're writing about a series of games, then add (series) to the right of the game name. Writing for a series of games only works if the games share similar engines such as [[Metal Slug]] and Mega Man X 1–3 (or 4–6).

'''IMPORTANT: Insert <nowiki>[[Category:Games]] and [[</nowiki>Category:''System Name'']] into your game page, or else your page will not appear on the games and consoles lists!'''

If your game has a run page on SDA, use the {{t|sda run}} template at the top of the page. Here's an example of what to add at the top of a new page:

<pre>[[Category:Nintendo 64]]
[[Category:Games]]
{{sda run|http://speeddemosarchive.com/DonkeyKong64.html}}</pre>

After doing the above, your game will be automatically added to the game list. Cool right!

==Adding content==
Anyone can edit the wiki after creating a free account. You can help by adding a game page following the instructions above and contributing your speedrunning knowledge for that game. If the game you know about already exists, feel free to edit that page – no one owns a game page! If you have a variety of speedrunning knowledge and want to know where best to apply your time and effort, try expanding a stub page or verifying information. The following categories contain pages that have been marked as needing your help:

* [[:Category:Stubs|Stubs]]: pages or sections of pages that need to be expanded and filled out with good information.
* [[:Category:Unverified information|Unverified information]]: pages or sections of pages that present information that needs to be tested for accuracy.

==External links==
