First steps tutorial

Wikibooks is for collaborative development of free textbooks.

You do not need technical skills to contribute. You can easily change most books. Please introduce yourself, and let us know what interests you.

If you already contribute at other Wikimedia projects, our Wikimedia Orientation should quickly get you started.

Getting help

• Read the Using Wikibooks book for a friendly introduction to the project, or our help pages for more information.
• You can get friendly help from the community in the user assistance room or our IRC channel.
• Upload freely licensed files to Wikimedia Commons. You may request permission to upload fair use files locally. Please include author and source {{information}} and a {{non-free use rationale}} for non-free files.

Made a mistake?

• You can restore a previously saved version.
• Pages should follow the Book Title/Chapter Title naming convention.
• Need to rename a page? Use the move tab (is available once your account is 4 days old - until then, ask for help).
• To request a page be deleted, add {{delete|your reason}} to the top of the page.
• Was a page you made deleted? Please read the deletion policy, and check the deletion log to find out why. Also check the RFD archives if applicable. You can request undeletion at WB:RFU, or ask the administrator who deleted the page.

Goodies, tips and tricks

• Please fill in the edit summary and preview your edits before saving.
• Sign your name on discussion pages by typing ~~~~

How Do I Upload A PDF?

I have created a PDF of Beyond Blender Render. However when attempting to upload it appeared that it would only allow images on the proper form. Could it be licensed as my own work? Is there a different form I should be using?

Consider uploading it to http://wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Book&bookcmd=book_creator&referer=Main+Page

• On http://www.blender.org/ it says right at the top: "Blender is the free open source 3D content creation suite, available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public License." This means that any screenshots of this software must also be published on that license. So you cannot claim that part as your own work. Consider making the whole of your book be licensed the same way, under GNU General Public License, that would be the simplest. --Mareklug (discuss • contribs) 23:04, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Makes sense... Thanks!

Hapangry template

Hi Downdate, Could you check your template please? The bulletin board posting of it might need a look to. It looks as though the image has been removed from part of it. I'm not an experienced editor and there's the possiblity I could be the person who deleted it. I don't think it was me..I'm pretty sure you have to save changes elsewhere than the sandbox to make them stick. but I was Examining and experimenting with the code in my sandbox earlier, and now I see that the image is gone. I'm a bit nervous about trying to fix it. So sorry if this turns out to be my doing. oh, and by the way...How can I view the history of a page I didnt make?

Does hitting the cancel button not cancel an edit?
