How to use server admin

- Check whether this is a base, combat, server, mod or save problem.
- Use source-backed tables before relying on exact values.
- Record anything that needs a patch-date recheck.
What makes server admin useful
The page should answer what to do next, not only define the topic.
- Give a next action.
- Name a stop sign.

What to avoid on server admin
Avoid advice that risks worlds, servers or long progression without proof.
- Do not use unknown executables or mirrors.
