Editing content on the Wiki might seem daunting at first, but its actually really easy! Just follow these guidelines and you'll be helping the Wiki grow in no time.
¶ General guidelines
- Always edit the Wiki from a desktop/laptop, don't use your phone because it won't format things properly
- Don't delete the work of other users without a clear justification
- Use good English and don't use rude language (for more details on this please see our rules)
If you have any problems, concerns or questions at all just email support@brgswiki.tk or DM us on our Instagram account (brgswiki) and we will be happy to help and get back to you ASAP.
Don't worry, we're super friendly, and we won't get mad if you broke something
(it's better to just let us know so we can fix it, we take backups of the site every 5 minutes so it's an easy job)
¶ Creating a new page
- 9 times out of 10, there will already be a 'red' link to the page you want to create, for example a teacher link on the homepage. Look for a button like this:
- Clicking on that will take you to a message saying
This page does not exist yet. Simply clickCreate pageto get started. - When asked what editor you want to use, choose
Visual Editor- even if you are comfortable using Markdown, others who want to edit the page later might not be. - Set the page title to the same as the red link you clicked, and add a suitable description.
- Add suitable tags eg. what subject a teacher teaches, etc.
Unsure what to add? Check out this page.

- Please upload images to the wiki directly, do not link to images on other sites because those links could expire
- Before uploading an image, please make sure it isn't too large, anywhere around 300-800px width is great, you can resize it at https://imageresizer.com/, this helps to ensure no bandwidth is wasted.
- Even if the image is already a suitable size, please compress it either at the link above or at https://compresspng.com/ or https://compressjpeg.com/ depending on the file format.
- To insert an image, choose
Insert Assets, and either choose an image from the file list on the left, or upload one by:- Ensuring the image is properly named, eg.
mr-porteous.pnginstead ofscreenshot-1234Hlsjdf.png. - Click the large
Browse or Drop files here...button to select your files. (Or just drop them onto the button). - Click
Upload. - Your image(s) should now appear in the library on the left, click on it and then choose
