Tips
Sign your name in discussion pages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This automatically inserts your user name, and the time and date. This is important to let people know who was raising an issue. Example signature: Daveoh 11:13, 3 December 2006 (GMT Standard Time)
 |
Don't sign main (content) pages. If you write a page that's a guide for users, and you want to take credit, use the Article template. |
When creating a page, look at similar pages to see how they're made- for example, all lua functions are described with the Lua Function Template. One of the goals of the wiki is to present information in a standardized style, and templates are there to help you do that.
Templates
The full listing of templates can be found at Category: Templates
The most common templates for new pages are:
- Template:Article- used to accredit an article or guide.
- Template:Lua example- used to provide an example for a piece of lua code.
- Template:Lua function- used to describe the syntax and purpose of a lua function.
- Template:Lua hook- used to describe the syntax and purpose of a lua hook.
- Template:Contraption- used to detail the purpose and detail of a contraption.
