WikiAdmin protected American Girl Wiki:Administrators [Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) Official administrator information

New page

Administrators help maintain American Girl Wiki, address abuse, and support contributors. Administrator permissions are maintenance tools; they do not make an administrator's opinion automatically correct in a content discussion.

== Current administrators ==

See [[Special:ListUsers/sysop|the current administrator list]]. This list is maintained automatically as account roles change.

Roles on this independent wiki are assigned here. Administrative roles or accounts from the source wiki do not automatically transfer to this site.

== What administrators handle ==

* Vandalism, spam, harassment, and other policy violations.
* Page protection and requests involving protected pages.
* Deletion and restoration of pages or files when appropriate.
* Editing disputes that need help beyond ordinary discussion.
* Requests for page/file moves or replacements that a contributor cannot perform.
* Technical content-model changes and other maintenance work within their permissions.

Some technical work requires additional interface or account-management permissions. Administrator status alone does not grant every available technical role.

== Requesting help ==

For ordinary editing questions, start at [[Help:Editing]] or [[Project talk:Community portal|the community discussion page]].

For an article-content disagreement, first discuss the issue on the article's discussion page and provide relevant sources. If it remains unresolved, ask for administrator help and explain what has already been discussed.

When reporting a problem, include:

* The exact page or file URL.
* A concise description of the issue.
* Relevant revision or difference links, if available.
* The action or assistance you are requesting.

Do not repeat harassment or private information unnecessarily when reporting it.

== Private or sensitive concerns ==

Send private moderation concerns to [mailto:support@americangirl.wiki support@americangirl.wiki].

Send copyright, trademark, or privacy concerns to [mailto:legal@americangirl.wiki legal@americangirl.wiki]. For formal notices and counter-notices, follow [[Project:Copyright and takedown requests]].

Never post passwords, confirmation links, recovery credentials, or private correspondence on public pages.

== Review of an administrative action ==

You may request review of an administrative action. Identify the action, explain the relevant facts and policy, and state the outcome you are requesting.

Use an appropriate discussion page or contact support when the matter is private or you cannot edit. Keep the request constructive and do not use another account to evade a restriction.

New page

Welcome to the American Girl Wiki contributor community. This page collects useful links, suggested tasks, and ways to ask for help.

== Getting started ==

# Create an account and confirm your email address.
# Read [[Project:Community guidelines|the community guidelines]].
# Follow [[Help:Editing|the editing guide]] and practice in [[Project:Sandbox|the sandbox]].
# Start with a small, well-sourced improvement to an article you know.

For background about this independent wiki and its imported reference content, see [[Project:About]].

== Ways to help ==

* Correct factual errors using sources that support the correction.
* Add citations to statements that need verification.
* Improve spelling, clarity, headings, and organization without changing the meaning.
* Check internal links and redirects, and suggest corrections to broken links.
* Improve file descriptions with accurate source, creator, and rights information.
* Document relevant products, books, characters, and collections using appropriate sources.

Preserve existing source attribution when editing imported content. Some imported image files are still being restored separately; missing images should not be treated as permission to copy any replacement found online.

== Questions and proposals ==

Use [[Project talk:Community portal|the community discussion page]] for general editing questions, suggestions, and coordination.

[https://americangirl.wiki/w/index.php?title=Project_talk:Community_portal&action=edit&section=new Start a new discussion]

For a question about one article, use that article's '''Discussion''' page. Give your discussion section a descriptive heading and sign comments with four tildes: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>.

Discussion pages are public. Do not post passwords, recovery links, private correspondence, or personal information.

== Policies and help ==

* [[Help:Editing|Editing help]]
* [[Project:Community guidelines|Conduct, sourcing, and AI-use guidelines]]
* [[Project:Copyrights|Copyright, licensing, and fair use]]
* [[Project:Image use policy|Image use requirements]]

* [[Special:Log/upload|Upload log]]
* [[Special:WantedPages|Wanted pages]]
* [[Special:WantedTemplates|Wanted templates]]

A wanted-page listing is a starting point for investigation, not an instruction to create every listed page. Check the context and whether the target is appropriate for this wiki.

== Contact ==

For general support or private moderation concerns, email [mailto:support@americangirl.wiki support@americangirl.wiki].

For copyright, trademark, or privacy concerns, email [mailto:legal@americangirl.wiki legal@americangirl.wiki] and follow the relevant policy instructions.

Help:Editing

WikiAdmin — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 05:00:39 GMT

WikiAdmin protected Help:Editing [Edit=Allow only autoconfirmed users] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) Experienced contributors can help shape the editing guidance.

New page

This guide explains how to contribute to American Girl Wiki. Start with [[Project:Community guidelines|the community guidelines]], and use [[Project:Sandbox|the sandbox]] to practice.

== Before you edit ==

Create an account, provide an email address you control, and follow the confirmation link sent to you. Editing requires a confirmed email address.

Choose a username you are comfortable displaying publicly. Articles, edit summaries, discussions, and page histories are public.

Read the relevant article and its discussion page before making substantial changes. Check whether another contributor has already explained a disputed point.

== Edit, preview, and save ==

# Log in and open the article.
# Select '''Edit'''. The source editor accepts MediaWiki markup.
# Make your changes and provide an informative edit summary.
# Select '''Show preview''' to check formatting and references.
# Use '''Show changes''' when useful to review what you changed.
# Save when the result is ready.

Keep unrelated changes separate when practical. Small, clearly explained edits are easier to review.

If you see '''View source''' or a permission message, the page may require additional permissions or your email may need confirmation. Read the explanation rather than repeatedly submitting the same change.

== Basic formatting ==

These examples show source markup:

<pre>
== Section heading ==
=== Subsection heading ===
'''Bold text'''
''Italic text''
* Bulleted item
# Numbered item
[[Kirsten Larson]]
[[Kirsten Larson|Kirsten]]
[https://www.americangirl.com/ American Girl's official website]
</pre>

Use internal links to connect relevant articles. External links should support the information being discussed, rather than advertise unrelated products or services.

You may be asked to complete an anti-spam check when adding external links.

== Add sources and references ==

Check that a source supports the exact statement you are adding. Identify the source you actually read, including an appropriate URL, title, edition, date, or page number.

For an inline reference, place the source information after the supported statement:

<pre>
Your verified statement.<ref>Source title, edition, and page number, or an appropriate source URL.</ref>
</pre>

References are displayed using:

<pre>
== References ==
<references />
</pre>

Many existing articles already have a references section. Preserve it and add citations to the relevant statements rather than creating unnecessary duplicate reference lists.

Do not invent sources, quotations, links, or page numbers. Clearly distinguish verified facts from interpretation or uncertainty.

== Images ==

Follow [[Project:Image use policy|the image use policy]] before uploading. Use [[Special:Upload]] and provide the source, creator, rights status, attribution, and any required use justification.

Selecting a licensing option records your statement about the file; it is not verification or approval by the wiki.

To insert an existing image:

<pre>
[[File:Your filename.jpg|thumb|A descriptive caption.]]
</pre>

Use the actual uploaded filename and describe what the image shows. Do not assume that an image has the same license as the surrounding article text.

== AI-assisted contributions ==

You may use AI tools for assistance, but you remain responsible for the result. Verify factual statements, citations, and quotations against reliable sources before saving. Review grammar-only changes for unintended changes in meaning or factual details.

AI-generated and substantially AI-altered images are strongly discouraged as article illustrations. Any such material that is used must be clearly labeled and meet the image-use requirements.

Read [[Project:Community guidelines#Artificial intelligence tools|the full AI-use guidelines]].

== Discussions and disagreements ==

Use an article's '''Discussion''' page to explain a disputed change, compare sources, or propose a substantial revision.

Start a new section for a new topic. Sign discussion comments by typing:

<pre>
~~~~
</pre>

Do not sign encyclopedia article text. Keep discussion civil, address the content and evidence, and pause repeated reversals of the same edit.

For general questions, use [[Project talk:Community portal|the community discussion page]]. For administrator help, see [[Project:Administrators]].

== Account permissions ==

After email confirmation, ordinary contributors can edit unprotected articles, create pages, upload new images, and replace uploads permitted by the wiki's own-upload permission.

Own-upload permissions concern the uploading account; they do not establish copyright ownership.

Ordinary accounts normally become '''autoconfirmed''' after both '''four days''' and '''ten edits'''. Autoconfirmed contributors can move pages and files, replace other users' uploads, and edit pages protected at the autoconfirmed level.

Do not make unnecessary edits merely to reach the threshold. Autoconfirmed status is a permission level, not a statement that your contributions have been reviewed or endorsed.

Administrator-only protection still applies to official policies and other protected pages. Changes to a page's technical content model are reserved for administrators.
