- The Page Guide will show you how the core of the pages should look like.
- This is just Work in Progress
Basic Article Setup
This is what a very simple page looks, without any sections besides for the See Also
[[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]]
- Categories in first line, so they're easy to find and manage. They always render on the bottom of page.
- Image Thumbnail, it is nice having one. The first thumbnail can be big, but rest should be small to avoid clutter.
- Introduction, try to describe the page in one sentence if you can, making the first mention of the page title BOLD.
- note: The introduction ends when you add the first section/header for more content.
- 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
- First read through the "Basic Article Setup" about layouts
- 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.
- 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)
- copy the code layout from a reference page (can view it when you "edit" a page)
- paste it on the new page
- delete all the original info and replace it with the relative info.
- 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.
