Fallout Wiki:The Vault Academy

Welcome, fellow Vault Dwellers, to the Vault Academy, proud subsidiary of the New User Network. At the Vault Academy, wiki users, both new and veteran, will have the opportunity to form bonds with each other and learn valuable skills at the same time.

Jumping into a wiki can be intimidating, so the programs aim to provide a stress-free environment in which users can learn the basics, former users can brush up on current format norms, and overall provide a training regiment that will set editors up for future success. No program is a prerequisite for another, but a general understanding of editing is beneficial before entering any program other than general editing. Users can join multiple programs at the same time, and there are no time requirements or deadlines.

Please note: The TVA is currently undergoing renovations! We thank you for your patience.

General editing fundamentals are of the utmost importance from one's first edit onwards. Are you brand new to the wiki? General editing is a great place to start, and associated lessons will introduce mentees to the other parts of the community and other applicable training opportunities.

Advanced editing is designed for editors who have a foundational understanding of basic editing, by way of the general editing program or previous experience. The program includes a detailed review of how templates are constructed, how the wiki is maintained, and tools we can use to automate repetitive processes.

Technical editing is designed for editors who have a foundational understanding of advanced editing, by way of the advanced editing program or previous experience. Lessons are based on finding, extracting, and adding game file information as well as templating and formatting skills.

Chat moderation focuses on the skills necessary to thrive in the social aspect of our community, via our Discord server. Mentees will learn the structure of the Discord, guidelines that dictate user conduct, as well as skills in navigating conflict, fostering a positive culture, and offers hands on practice with bot commands.
