Basic Formatting

This part of the guide will help you to start properly formatting your page. Because the formatting and coding of wiki pages is a wide field of information, we've split it up into seperate parts.

Headings

Headings are designated by equals signs. Ex: =Heading= One equals sign on each side means a first level heading, while two equals signs designates a second level heading, and so on. This can be used to neatly organize your page and make it look more appealing.

Table Of Contents

A table of contents will automatically be created for the page and placed near the top. However, when is placed anywhere on the page, no table of contents is created. It is common practice to place this on the first line of the page.

On the other hand, if you would like the Table of Contents to be placed in a specific location instead of on top of the page, simply type and the table of contents will be placed in that location.

HTML

Html can be used on the Wiki’s platform, Mediawiki, to some extent. Not all Html will work correctly and things such as CSS cannot be used at all. If you would like to spruce up your page with your own Html, feel free to do so, although this will make it more difficult for people to contribute to your page in the future as not everybody is learned in coding.

Links

A useful feature of the wiki is the easy way to link to other pages on the wiki. By putting two square brackets around a word, a link is automatically created to a page with that title on the wiki.

To link a web address, copy the address within single brackets. Put a space after the address and then a word to have that work link to the web address. Ex: [www.lordofthecraft.net Link]
