Sorry for not answering. I've been inactive a looooot of time in this wiki, but I'm trying to get back to it and keep editing. I don't know if any other admin has already answered your question, but I'll try to tell you what I know. First of all, you have to plan a name for your case. In the top right corner of your computer screen you will see a button called "contribute" (or something similar, I don't really know what it looks like in English because I use the wiki in Spanish). Then click the option "Add a page". When it asks you for a name, write the name of your case. Remember to start with a capital letter.

Start writing the name of your case, the number of your case, the district and city where it's located. You can read some cases to understand what you have to write. You can use some templates, but they are kind of new to me as I was inactive in this wiki when other users started using it.

You have to use main headings for each of the following sections:


 * Case background *Victim *Murder Weapon *Killer *Suspects *Killer's Profile *Crime scenes *Steps *(You can add some trivia for your cases if you consider it's necessary)

In the case background, just write the plot of the case. You can start by writing what happened at the end of the previous case, and then you continue with your case plot. Remember you shouldn't say who the killer is at the beginning of this section. It's better if you use paragraphs to separate each part of the case.

The victim, weapon and killer sections are really easy, you'll learn how to do it alone when you read some cases.

As for the suspects sections, you'll need to learn how to use tables (I think that's their name). If you use the classic editor it'll be easier (at least I find it easier) in the visual mode. On the right side of your screen, you'll see an option called "table". You can select the width you want, it's up to you as long as it looks well. After you choose the number of rows and columns, get back to writing inside the table. For example, if you choose 2 columns and 5 rows (age, eyes, blood, weight, and height) you'll have a table divided in two sides. In the left one you write age, eyes, and so on... and in the right side you'll write that information (34, blue, O+, 167 lbs, 5'8).

At the killer's profile section, just insert a bulleted list (I think that's its name) and write each of the profiles. If you have an image insert one (I'll tell how to do that soon), but if you don't have a picture don't worry, it's not necessary.

Insert another table at the crime scenes section (I suggest one of three rows and three columns, as it looks like in the real game) and write the name of each of your crime scenes. For example: Park - Park benches - Park Bonus

In the steps section, just write in bold "Chapter 1" and insert a bulleted list with each of the steps and its result. Then do the same with Chapter 2, 3 and Additional Investigation. Be careful with one thing: finish the bulleted list before writing "Chapter 2". Otherwise, "Chapter 2" will be included in the list and it will look like another step from Chapter 1.

Now let's talk about images. When you use the classic editor, near the tables button you will see one that says "Image". You can insert a full picture or a thumbnail. If you are going to upload just the picture, choose the file from your computer and select the size. It will also ask you if you want it to be on the left or on the right side of the page. If you want to add a description of the picture, select the option called "thumbnail" and write the description you want.

In the wikis, when you press the enter button, you'll see a quite big space between what you've just written and what you're about to write. If you don't want that to happen (for example, when you write case dialogues) write (I write with spaces between the < and the "b" and between the "r" and the > so that you can see it, but you have to write it without spaces) at the end of each line.

I hope you can understand this, and if you need any other further help message me again and I'll see if I can help you.
