Help:Formatting and templates

From Krafties
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Every wiki has it's way of doing things and Krafties wiki is no different. There is the basic formatting that works on all wikis, and then there are unique templates and extentions that makes every wiki unique. Many basic formatting templates have been copied from Mediawiki or Wikipedia and adjusted to function on our wiki.

  • Please view Formatting guide (mediawiki) first for the basics of wiki formatting. They even have it translated on multiple languages.
  • I will try to list all the formatting templates we use on Krafties wiki here below.
