How to Contribute Content
Adding content to this wiki is easier than PK on the mud! ;) It's designed to be a collaborative effort by all participants, no matter their skill or experience level.
Here's some helpful pages on how to create specific kinds of wiki entries:
Probably the simplest way to learn about building wiki pages is to simply click the EDIT button at the top of any page, and look at how it's formatted. There are some basic things to know:
- The way to end a line of text is by adding a "Break". This is represented by the letters BR in brackets "<>" so that it looks like this: <BR>. If you were to edit this page, you would see the phrase "nowiki" in brackets to either side of the example. This turns wiki formatting on and off.
- Creating bullet points is as simple as starting a line with an asterisk: "*" To indent, use two asterisks: "**"
- <<-- Like that.
- Numbered lists are created using the "#" symbol at the beginning of each line.
- Linking to an internal page is as simple as copying the NAME of the page, and enclosing it in double square brackets "[[" and "]]". External links are easy, too. A single bracket "[" then the web address, add a space, and then text to give a name to the link then a closing bracket "]" and you've made a link. For example: Heres a Wiki Page on How To Edit Wiki Pages. Here's another: Wiki Cheat Sheet
In many spots, adding content may be as simple as typing in a single name, or point of information. There's also a variety of templates you can use to make formatting easier. You can click on the Special Pages link in the left menu column, scroll down to High Use Pages, and select Most linked-to templates. This will provide a list of all the templates that are in high-use on the wiki.
When in doubt, give it a try! That's the great thing about a wiki: It's fluid. If you don't like how something looks, simply roll it back, or Cancel the edit. You can also contact Cordir or Katrana for pointers. Soloban is also an excellent resource as well!
