+==Adding a game==
 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:

-This section is for games and series. The wiki currently hosts '''{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Games}}''' games on {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Systems}} different systems.
+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:Games|The games list]]

-= Engines =
-This section is for games sharing a similar engine (Unreal, Infinity).
-−
-If you're confused about what this means, Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale fall into this category because they both share the same engine, the Infinity engine; despite being different games, they both use the same engine, and therefore many similar tricks can be exploited. However, Mario games do not fall into this category. Even though games such as SMB 1-3 are all in the same series and for NES, the engine is different in each game, and thus tricks in one game cannot be applied to another.
