=== Special pages ===

Many useful functions are available from the list of [[Special:Specialpages|Special Pages]].
Welcome to the Valve Developer Community! If you are new here, then you might want to consider checking out the pages that have been carefully selected, laid out and linked to you towards the left side of the screen.


=== Template pages ===
== Contributor's Quick Links ==
Templates are an easy and fast way to apply a uniform structure to pages and frequently quoted pieces of information. This is especially useful for marking articles as being eligible for [[CAT:CSD|Speedy Deletion]], which can be done by adding them to the top of pages in accordance with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy Wikipedia Deletion Policy].
