READ THIS FIRST
To make your question more visible, and keep the wiki more readable, it is advised to post your question as a separate topic in the Questions category. To do this:
1. Make a new page for your question by entering the url in your browser's address bar. Ex: to create a page entitled "How do I edit Leveled Lists", enter:
http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/How_do_I_edit_Leveled_Lists
Note that underscores are used to indicate spaces between words.
2. Click the 'Edit' button for your new page and type in your question.
3. At the bottom of your page, include [[Category:Questions]].
4. Save the page.
If you answer a question, or someone else answers it for you, edit the page to remove it from the questions category, replacing [[Category:Questions]] with [[Category:Answered]]. If the answer is of common interest, include '[[Category:Solutions]]' to add it to the Solutions category.
If you find a question that has already been answered, but which you'd like more information on, edit the existing page and put it back into the Questions category, rather than creating a brand-new page.
If you are new to the wiki and simply cannot figure out how to create a new page for your question, post it here as a last resort. Someone will move it to a new page for you, and should direct you to the new page on your User Talk page.
