'''ytptenniswiki''' is a wiki that's sole focus is everything about [[YTP Tennis]] and anything related that would be useful for a tennis player/enthusiast. While the site is still greatly a work in progress, the goal is to document basically anything anyone would want to know when it comes to tennis stuff.

'''ytptenniswiki''' is a wiki that's sole focus is everything about [[YTP Tennis]] and anything related that would be useful for a video tennis player/enthusiast. While the site is still greatly a work in progress, the goal is to document basically anything anyone would want to know when it comes to tennis stuff.

Contributions are made solely by the webmaster and the [[Tennis Staff]]. DIRECT public contribution, due to the hosting situation and the nature of a community like this, likely will never happen. However, anyone can suggest things to add to the site! It just has to go through the staff (or myself) first.

===Alias Templates===

People change their username online. This can be for a variety of factors, and it is important that this is kept up to date. Thus, templates exist for players that may have multiple usernames - for example, {{RapskallionXYZ}}. One can mouse over one of these names to see anything else they may have went by. Templates that use older names should redirect to one "main" alias page.

The current, up-to-date way to create aliases is to use the [[Template:Alias]] template. More instructions can be found there.

Templates that use older names should redirect to one "main" alias page. Remember to pass the "U" parameter or matchboxes will break!
