Hey Sonoandrea! The big thing to understand about Wikis is that they’re collaborative projects. For example I myself did not make most of this, the. Most of it was created by another, & I have merely added to it in my own way, such as by changing the aesthetic design & creating the |Main Page for examples (& even those I did not do alone). With that in mind, the first step is to attempt (even if you do not succeed it is well worth the attempt) to establish a base of editors. At first this is best done not usually by asking random people to edit, although that can sometimes help a little, but rather by just making content; write articles, & write good ones. Link articles together to form connections between your pages, & if you have a certain type of page that becomes common, add them to common categories & perhaps add a few to them with pertinent data (Infoboxes are  that are pretty easy to make using the Infobox Builder that requires no code knowledge to operate). Once you have a lot of textual content your Wiki should be more noticeable in search engines n such, get the attention of other people who may stop by to help with the editing. Welcome these people, & your job becomes much easier. As an editor, my best advice to you to expand your skills is to go to & switch to Source Editor as your preferred editor. It’ll make things a bit confusing at first as you learn how to use Wikitext, but once you get the hang of it you shall find that you have much more fine control over how articles shall look. If you are ever confused about something, you can always check out the help pages or ask a real person for help on Community Central, a Wiki solely dedicated to helping users out such as yourself. You can always find good advice & manuals there for Wiki editing. That’s a lot of stuff, so although it’s really just the beginning, focus only on that stuff for now. Things such as community management & Wiki design will come later, but they aren’t nearly as important as getting that first hundred or so articles out (or however many articles are needed; some Wikis hit 60 & need no more). If you find yourself needing permissions to do certain things on the Wiki, then you can consider adopting the Wiki to become an Administrator there so long as you follow the requirements. Don’t worry so much about code, don’t let it frighten you, because even if you never learn CSS & advanced templating like I have, there are always people who can do that kind of thing for you once your Wiki is big enough. Good luck!
