Revision as of 11:46, 30 April 2013

This is the Main page for articles and tutorials related to the 'XCOM: Enemy Unknown 2012' as released by Firaxis.

XCOM Wiki Navigation

'Categories' are used for navigation within the XCOM namespace. Think of them as 'Tables of Contents'. They appear in a separate box at the bottom of each page linked to them.

'Pages' are used to describe things and have explanatory text, while 'Category Pages' are collections of links to 'Pages'. If a 'Category' is not added to a 'Page', then that page will not appear in that collection of Category links. 'Category' links must be manually added to a page by including '[[Category:<category name>]]' on it's own line at the bottom of the page text.

Here is the roadmap of how the Wiki 'XCOM' name space is organized into Categories. It is not completely encompassing at all levels, but rather shows the general structure.
