"That said, would it be more useful to post on your walls with the text for stubbed articles or new pages? (I've just been posting comments on the relevant pages with the text)"

I don't mind if you post that info onto both the walls and the relevant pages' Comments section. Up to you! :) But if you had to choose just one, I'd say use a comment; anyone who visits the relevant page can see your extra content right away, so there's no need to wait for an editor to add it. It wouldn't even particularly elongate the wiki page because comments don't load unless you scroll down there.

I'm in the middle of writing a basic editing guide for Spacemarine9 and you. (I will post that here within the hour.) Editing Guidelines and Quicklist has some helpful info; they don't cover everything, I'm aware, but they're good starting points.

Why don't you dip your fingers into the wiki by peeking at the code and playing around? :D Visit any page and click the bright green "Edit" button at the top. It'll take you to the editing screen. It opens on the Visual (tab) side, which is good for choosing, adding & editing templates. Once you're more familiar, you'll find the Source side easier to navigate and edit. Click on both tabs to see the difference.

If you want to know how your changes to the code will affect the page, click the "Preview" button near the top right of the editing screen. It usually gives you 100% accuracy. Clicking the green "Publish" button makes your changes semi-permanent and, ta-da!, you're done with editing & updating the page! ("Semi"-permanent till someone else decides to edit it.)

Don't worry about messing up because, even if you do, you can easily rewind a page to its previous coded look by choosing to "Undo" it in its history. You can find a page's history by clicking the down arrow of the green "Edit" button and choosing "History".
