==READ THIS FIRST==
==Got A Question?==


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:
The wiki is designed for two purposes: sharing information, and organizing information. If you have a question about modding for Oblivion, knowing where to post your question will help you get the answer you need while keeping the wiki readable..


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:
* '''Questions about a specific topic''': Each article on the wiki has a corresponding '''TALK''' page for discussion of that topic. If your question relates directly to a topic such as [[Book_Formatting]] or a specific scripting function like [[MoveTo]], it should be posted on the '''TALK''' page for that topic. EX: [[TALK:MoveTo]].
<pre>http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/How_do_I_edit_Leveled_Lists</pre>
* '''User Questions''': Each wiki user has his own '''TALK''' page as well. If your question relates directly to your own project, your '''TALK''' page is the best place for discussion. EX: My '''TALK''' page is [[User_talk:Scruggs]].
Note that underscores are used to indicate spaces between words.
* '''General Questions''': The wiki also has a '''Questions''' category. Questions can be posted on individual pages in this category. If a similar question has already been asked, consider adding your question to that question's page. For information on creating a Question page, see below.
* '''CS Forums''':The Official Elder Scrolls forums have a forum devoted to CS-related questions. [http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?showforum=24 Elder Scrolls Construction Set Forum].


2. Click the '''Edit''' button for your new page and type in your question.
If you are new to the wiki, and simply can't figure out how or where to post your question, add it to this page. It will be moved to the appropriate location, and someone will leave a note on your '''TALK''' page informing you of the new location.


3. At the bottom of your page, include '''<nowiki>[[Category:Questions]]</nowiki>'''.
==How Do I Create A New Question Page?==


4. Save the page.
* Make a new page for your question by entering the url in your browser's address bar. Note that underscores are used to indicate spaces between words. Ex: to create a page entitled "How do I edit Leveled Lists", enter:
<pre>http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/How_do_I_edit_Leveled_Lists</pre>
This will create a new page, which can then be edited.
* Click the '''Edit''' button for your new page and type in your question. Sign your question by typing '''<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>''' at the end of your comments. This lets other users know who you are.


If you answer a question, or someone else answers it for you, edit the page to remove it from the questions category, replacing '''<nowiki>[[Category:Questions]]</nowiki>''' with '''<nowiki>[[Category:Answered]]</nowiki>'''. If the answer is of common interest, include '''<nowiki>[[Category:Solutions]]</nowiki>''' to add it to the '''Solutions''' category.
* At the bottom of your page, include '''<nowiki>[[Category:Questions]]</nowiki>'''. This will place the page in the '''Questions''' category so other users will be able to view it.


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.
* Save the page. Don't forget to include a brief description in the summary box.


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.
==Getting Answers==


If your question has been answered, and is not likely to be of interest to other users, dispose of it by moving it to the '''Articles for Deletion''' category.
* If you answer a question, or someone else answers it for you, edit the page to remove it from the questions category, replacing '''<nowiki>[[Category:Questions]]</nowiki>''' with '''<nowiki>[[Category:Answered]]</nowiki>'''. If the answer is of common interest, include '''<nowiki>[[Category:Solutions]]</nowiki>''' to add it to the '''Solutions''' category.


You may also wish to post your question to the [http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?showforum=24 Elder Scrolls Construction Set Forum].
* 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.


Finally, if your question is specific to your own mod project, or you have several questions, consider posting your questions on your User Talk page instead.
* If your question has been answered, and is not likely to be of interest to other users, dispose of it by moving it to the '''Articles for Deletion''' category, or move it to your '''User TALK''' page.
