Help:Editing

Basics

• You have to login before editing.
• You can test out your wiki editing in the Alchemist Lab

• To change existing text: click edit in the top menu.
• To add a new page:
  • insert a link to a non-existing page in an existing one,
  • by surrounding the new page name with double square brackets [[Like This]],
  • then click that link and fill the new page.

Formatting in Wiki

Basics Normal text stays normal text double or triple single quote's makes: ''italics'' becomes italics '''bold text''' becomes bold <nowiki>text with [[ stuff used</nowiki> headers and contents box To tag headers, use: =Heading level 1= ==Heading level 2== ===Heading level 3=== If three or more heading lines occur on a page, automatically a content box is added and did you notice the buttons at the top of the edit box?

HTML HTML also works. Especially <br> is nice for line breaking. the HTML table tags work very nice too Lists when you type something like this: * a bullet list * b bullet list ** b2 bullet list ** b3 bullet list * c bullet list wiki makes this from it a bullet list b bullet list b2 bullet list b3 bullet list c bullet list

Categories

• Are used to label groups of individual pages and list them automatically on special category-pages.
• To label a page to be of a certain category, you edit the page,
  • and then add [[Category:Category Name]]

• To start a sub-category, you edit the sub-category page
  • and then add [[Category:Main Category]],
  • e.g. [[Category:Items]] at the page Category:Unique Items

• To link to a category page, you edit a page
  • and then add [[:Category:Category Name]] or [[:Category:Category Name|Category Name]]
  • so the diference between 'linking to' and 'labeling as' can be as much as a single colon ":".
