Formula 1 Wiki:Community portal

This is the Community Portal, where you can find general guidelines, hints and tips for helping this wiki.

General Notes

• Before you edit on this wiki, can you take a look around, and get a feel for this wiki's style. We are currently undergoing a lot of change, be wary of these changes.
• To help you, we currently have a Manual of Style in development.
• The notability guidelines are somewhat small but specific. Anything that was involved in F1 in some sort or affected the sport is likely to be allowed an article. Pre-championship articles will be considered in a similar fashion.
• Try to avoid copying from Wikipedia. This is its own wiki, and is meant to be different from Wikipedia. Use it by all means, but please use your own words or do stuff in your own style.
• If you want to create a useful page, do it, it is better than not having the article. But unnecessary vandalism and unnecessary articles will be deleted, so check before you create the article.
• Gyarados Magnus (lead admin) will tidy up your work – so if you are not too sure if something you are writing looks good, do not worry, he will sort it out for you, and do not feel offended if he rewrites your work. He knows what he is doing.
• You can test things out on the sandbox, or you can make your own.
• Vote for featured articles here.
• Have fun!

Project 2013

Project 2013 is a new project intended to make the updating of the wiki after each race much easier. For the 2013 season (and potentially all subsequent seasons), all Career Results templates, Results Grids, etc will automatically update based on a collection of 23 templates (only 4 of which need to be updated after each race event). The project, led by MTracey1, is essentially in a beta-test condition and will be rolled out fully if successful. Full details can be found at Project 2013.
