==Are there any other Christian wikis?==
: ''Question: Is this the only Christian wiki? Or are there others?''
There are a number of other wikis related to Christianity. WikiChristian keeps information on these on its [[Christian wikis]] page.
 
==How do I edit an article?==
 
: ''Question: What do I have to do to edit an article?''
 
The first thing you need to do is create an account. This is easy and takes about 10 seconds. You don't need to reveal any personal details if you do not want to. WikiChristian prefers you to create an account using your real name, but if you wish to use an alias that's still acceptable. It is preferable to leave a little bit of information such as your name and Christian background on your associated user page. To create an account click on the "sign in" link at the top of any page and click on "create account", or simply click [http://www.wikichristian.org/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&type=signup&returnto=Main_Page here].
 
Once you have created an account you should simply be able to click "edit" at the top of any page to edit it. A few pages have been protected from editing because of recurrent vandalism and so if you still cannot edit a page, let one of the sysops know that you need the page to be un-protected.
 
==Are there any rules for editing a page?==
 
: ''Question: What should a page look like? Are there any rules to follow?''
 
There are no absolute rules, however, pages should be written from a Christian perspective. WikiChristian has a statement of faith which can be found [[WikiChristian:Statement of Faith|here]]. Additionally WikiChristian has a unique style that is a little different from Wikipedia. This is described in the [[WikiChristian:Page layout|Page layout and Writing guide]] page.
 
==Can I write something that is clearly my own opinion?==
 
: ''Question: If I wish to leave upload a sermon or essay that I have previously written, or simply write my own opinion, can I do that?''
 
WikiChristian encourages users to write their opinion from their perspective. After all we all have our own unique understanding of Christianity, each one of us with our own little differences. If you wish to write your opinion you can leave a short sentence in the "Page name (discussion)" page or you can write a larger article giving it its name as follows "Page name (your initials)" and linking to it from the appropriate information page. See the [[WikiChristian:Page layout|Page layout and Writing guide]] page for more details.
