[edit] Basic editing

Got to a page and click on the edit this page, then type in what you want to add in the appropriate area then click save page.

[edit] Links

To add internal links do this: [[Link title]],

to create an external link (a link to another site) [http://www.example.com link title]

[edit] Using a template

To use a template do this: {{template name here}} (some need extra info inputed though).

[edit] Italics and Bold

To use italics ''Italic text''

To use bold '''Bold text'''

To use both '''''Italisized Bold text'''''

[edit] Creating headings

To create a side heading == Headline text ==

For a heading under a side heading === Subheadline text ===

[edit] Creating an article

If you see a Red internal link or you search for a page and you can't find it and a create a page comes up you can click on either of those to start a new page, add in what ever you think is nessesary and then save the page (remember to search for alternate spellings just in case, otherwise we may end up with a lot of duplicate articles).

[edit] Categorizing an image or article

Simply put this on the page

[[Category:Appropriate category here]] taking the category Characters as an example you can type it as this [[Category:Characters]].

Remember a page can often have more than one category.

[edit] Redirecting a page

say we have an article on Sword, but when we type in Swords it says this page doesn't exist, the soloution:Simple, simply create the page Swords and in it put #REDIRECT [[Sword]] (change the word sword for the page you want this page to go to)

[edit] Not using standard wiki formatting

To stop things using the standard wiki formatting (this is usually only done on help pages and talk pages) i.e [[archer]] instead of the usual archer, you do this:

<nowiki>text here</nowiki>

[edit] hiding text so you can only see it on the edit page

say you want to tell editors about your plan for an article, but you don't want people just reading the article to see this message, what do you do...this:

<!-- Put your message here only editors to the page will be able to see it -->

[edit] Images

[edit] Uploading an image

Go to 'upload Image' on the box on the right hand side of the screen (when your not editing) and click upload image, follow the instructions from there.

[edit] Adding an image to a page

lets take archer animation.Gif as an example. add this to the page:

[[Image:Archer animation.gif|thumb|150px|This is where you write the text you want to appear under the picture]]

Now we'll show you it:

[edit] Writing your signiture

(signitures are only used on talk pages and the community portal) simply put --~~~~ and your signiture/timestamp will appear like so: --Semajdraehs 17:22, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
