# Guides

Guides provide a way to navigate a wiki's data. There are different types of guides such as interactive guides and community guides.

## Community Guides

Community guides are textual guides created by members. Like discussions, anyone can create and share a community guide.

### Create a community guide

You can create a community guide by going to the "Guides" page and clicking the "+" icon or "Create a guide" menu item along the top of the page.

### Format text

See [format-text](https://docs.frontiernav.net/editing-data/format-text "mention"). Search links are especially useful for guides to link to entities and categories.

### Edit a community guide

You can edit or remove your own community guides using the three-dot drop-down menu in the top-right of your guide.

## Interactive Guides

Interactive guides provide alternative interfaces to navigate the wiki. The most common default interactive guides are the [data tables](https://docs.frontiernav.net/editing-data/data-tables) and [interactive maps](https://docs.frontiernav.net/navigation/interactive-maps).

Some games have additional interactive guides, such as [Xenoblade Chronicles X's Probe Simulation](https://frontiernav.net/wiki/xenoblade-chronicles-x/visualisations/maps/probe-guides) and [Animal Crossing: New Horizon's Critter Calender](https://frontiernav.net/wiki/animal-crossing-new-horizons/visualisations/calendar).

If you want to create your own interactive guide and integrate it into FrontierNav, contact support and we can work together on it.
