This is the FAQ of the wiki, but it's still WIP (work in progress).
General FAQ[edit]
Question: What are we doing with old IC2/IC1 information?
Answer: Good question.
Answer: Good question.
- If it's a crafting recipe, clearly show it's the old recipe. It'll be using 32x32px grid images too, and new ones should use 48x48, but that's not quite ready yet.
- Old information should be clearly labelled as old or re-written.
- If in doubt, leave it, and it'll get sorted out at some point.

Question: A part of a page is broken/on fire!
Answer: That's not really a question, but probably related to the Big Changes that are occurring. If it's not fixed in a day, tell Chocohead.

Crafting Grids[edit]
Question: How do I add a crafting grid to a page?
Answer: Depends which one. Generally, looking at Template:Grid/*name*/doc will tell you, with all the old machines at Template:Grid/Machine.

Question: I'm still not completely sure...
Answer: Then just find a page that already uses one, and copy that. You should only need to change the items in it.

Question: A crafting grid is really broken!
