Why does this site look just like Wikipedia?

Because it is just like Wikipedia. Both sites run on software called MediaWiki. Many of the articles you see here were imported from Wikipedia.

Why do some links go to Wikipedia?

Because it's easy to link to them (just prefix the title with w:), and it merely offers another resource to learn more. These links should only be used for topics that don't belong on this wiki.

How do I edit a page?

Click edit! Please be bold and don't worry about doing it right. Someone will fix your mistakes and you will learn.

Can I write anything?

As long as it's relevant and POSITIVE, yes. This is a fan site, so please keep out any critical reviews. Try to keep the tone in a semi-professional manner, too, since this site is meant to act as a reference point. Each page has a "Disussion" tab where fans can share their opinions.

Do I need to add citations?

No! This is not Wikipedia. We trust you. But, if it's something contentious, a citation wouldn't hurt. Remember to avoid any negativity!

Something doesn't look right

It could be a bug. Please report it at the Pumpkin Patch.
