Welcome to the Age of Mythology: Retold Wiki! We are glad to see that you're interested in helping out. Editing a wiki can be overwhelming at first with the number of pages that exist and the new writing language (wikicode) to learn, but it won't be long before improving and changing the wiki becomes second nature.
Quick Start
For the eager editor, this guide should show you a few of the steps to take before making your first edits.
- Register an account.
- By default you will only be able to edit existing pages or upload images.
- Explore our editing guides
- Start with Help:Editing to brush up on wiki code or Help:Style guide to write pages in a similar style to everything else.
- Make your first edit!
- Pages like Gameplay Mechanics always need more information from recent news posts or videos. Just be sure to make some references and links to official sources.
- We suggest editing your Userpage (Be sure to get Verified first). You can put just about anything there.
- Message one of the task leaders on their talk page to see what you can do.
Some suggestions for things to do
After you've familiarized yourself with basic editing on your userpage, it's time to make some important, world-changing edits!
- Browse the Tasks page to see some general and maintenance tasks that need to be worked on

- Adopt a page! Pick a page and make it the best page on the wiki. Fill it in with official, referenced info, and a good number of interesting images.
