[[Category:WikiHelp]]
[[File:Image.png|thumb|Picture Description]]

The '''Page Guide''' will show you how the core of the pages should look like.
*You should always add a page to a category even if you have yet to fill it with useful information, this way it will be easy to find later on.
=See Also=
*[[Link|Related Info]]
  1. Categories in first line, so they're easy to find and manage.
    • They always render on the bottom of page.
  2. Image Thumbnail, it is nice having one. The first thumbnail can be big, but rest should be small to avoid clutter.
    • You can line them up in one line, they will arrange along the sides of the page
  3. Introduction, try to describe the page in one sentence if you can,
    • Make the first mention of the page title BOLD.
    • The introduction ends when you add the first heading, below the intro will .
  4. See Also, is for important related links. It serves its purpose best when using the least amount of links (besides for templates).
    note: Check if you can use any Navigation Templates instead of listing multiple related links

Creating New Pages[edit]

  1. First read through the "Basic Article Setup" about layouts
  2. Write the Page Name you wish to use into the wiki search, it will offer you the option to create the page if it does not exist already.
  3. Then you can make your missing page
    • Please view the template pages you plan to use, they contain information about how to use the specific templates.
    • If it is a individual page of many (such as spells, items or creature)
      1. copy the code layout from a reference page (can view it when you "edit" a page)
      2. paste it on the new page
      3. delete all the original info and replace it with the relative info.
  4. Choose Show Preview to see what you've created, before saving it.
    • If it happens that you create a page with info that already exists, then its simple to combine the pages (using redirect) later on. Just tell the WikiWriter about it so they can fix it up.
