What is this wiki?

A wiki is a freely editable collaborative website. In a wiki anyone (even anonymous users) can edit or add pages discuss issues or look for information. This is the public AGSI-wiki. It is a place for the harpoon community to share insights and information into the harpoon series of naval simulations. Admittedly it does not have very much information available yet, but with your help and contributions we hope that it will become a prime source of information, insights and support for the harpoon community. Please read The Rules before posting on the wiki. The harpoon community encourages YOU to be bold and edit/add to the content of this wiki!

Wikis develop faster when people fix problems, correct grammar, add facts, make sure the language is precise, and so on. It's okay. It's what everyone expects. So you should never ask, "Why aren't these pages copyedited?" or "Why are these informations missing?" you can just go ahead and add them yourself! Amazingly, it all works out. It does require some amount of politeness, but it works. You'll see.

It is ok to make mistakes, and you can break nothing in a wiki, because the information about an article history is completely stored in a database. If you want to start an article, but don't have much information, start it with what you have, you or someone else can always add details later!

Good starting places
