Welcome to the Custom Mario Kart Wiiki. This page will describe and help users how to create and edit pages. Please familiarize yourself with how to use a Wiki before starting. A tutorial on how to use a Wiki can be found here. Do not forget to read the rules; failure in doing so will result in warnings or bans if necessary.

Track/Battle Arena Page Tutorial

Use this tutorial if your content is classified as a track or battle arena.

Page Naming Scheme

Choose from the following templates:

• For custom tracks, simply use your custom track's name.
• For retro tracks, format its title like this: ABB Retro Track (User). ABB standing for the console abbreviation and User for the name of the author.
• For imported tracks, format its title like this: ABB Imported Track. ABB standing for the game abbreviation.
• For texture hacks, format its title like this: Texture Hack (Original Track Texture). Original Track standing for the name of the original track.
• For track edits, format its title like this: Track Edit (Original Track Edit). Original Track standing for the name of the original track.

It is important to check if the page name is already taken. The Wiiki offers search functions on the left sidebar to assist with this. If it is indeed taken, you must either make a different name or post in the page's discussion for permission to reuse it. Conflicts with naming can be handled by moderators and administrators if necessary.

Move to the Page Creation Tutorial if the page title has been decided.
