Basic Helping
There's a few jobs that anybody can do to help out, depending on where you are in game.
Job 1: Building Danger Reports
On the top of almost all pages for buildings there is a box that looks like this:
Caiger Mall The whole area is shredded. Survivors are unlikely to retake the mall anytime soon. |
If you're near (Or preferably inside) the building, and that danger report doesnt seem to match, the you should update it by pressing the Update Button and then pressing edit on top of the page. That should bring up a whole lot of text that looks like:
{{{{{template|BuildingStatus}}} |building=Caiger Mall|xy=[19,27] – [20,28] <!--Do not edit above this line! Please use a NPOV when updating the report.--> |status=rebuilding |comment=LUE departed, humans took control back |user=[[User:Alex Row|Alex Row]] 10:02, 15 October 2010 (BST) <!--Do not edit below this line!--> }} <noinclude> {{UpdateDR|Mall}} [[Category:Mall Danger Levels|Caiger Mall]] [[Category:Chudleyton Danger Levels|Caiger Mall]] [[Category:Darvall Heights Danger Levels|Caiger Mall]] </noinclude>
This may look scary, but really its not. A lot of it you don't need to worry about, it has big lines saying "Do not edit above/below this line", so those bits you dont need to worry about. The only bit that you need will be:
|status=rebuilding |comment=LUE departed, humans took control back |user=[[User:Alex Row|Alex Row]] 10:02, 15 October 2010 (BST)
Look simpler? I hope it does. So I'll
