User:Rydian/Wiki Cheat Sheet

Introduction

Here's how you do some basic tasks on the wiki.

Editing Pages

1. Make an account and log in.

2. At the upper-right of a page, there's an "edit" button, click it.

Sometimes information is not in the page itself, in this case you'll want to use one of the below methods.

Editing Items

• If the item/enchant/whatever already exists, there should be a little (edit) link below the name or icon.
  • Click that to access the stats/data, edit them as needed.
• If the item/enchant/whatever does not exist, find templates you can copy-paste to make it.
  • In general, data pages are named Template:DataEXAMPLE_ITEM.
    • So for example if Frosted Borealis Blade is the weapon's name, the stats are at Template:DataFrosted_Borealis_Blade.
• For making data templates, the wiki has a template tool at the below URL.
  • http://mabi.world/template/
• Some information isn't always obvious (for example item value), don't be afraid to leave things blank for somebody else to finish.

Editing Enchant Data

• Similar concept for items, Template:DataEnchantNAME.
  • So for example the enchant info for Expansive is at Template:DataEnchantExpansive.
  • The documentation for how the enchant template works is here: Template:StyleEnchantRank.
• Don't forget to edit the pages/data for the monster/mission that drops the enchant(ed item), and the rank pages too.

Editing Other Data

• If you're trying to edit other data that's not showing up when you edit a page, you can see which templates are in for that page
  • At the bottom of the page (underneath the edit box), you'll see something like this you can click to expand.

Text Formatting

• Use an asterisk (*) before a line to make it a bullet point.
  • Use two or more (**) for indented lines like this one.
• Use two sets of single quotes for italics.
  • Use this to apply emphasis as needed, for example pointing out a difference between two similar things.
• Use three sets of single quotes for bold.
  • Bold text sparingly, for example only for warnings.

Adding Images

• If you're adding an image for an item, click the placeholder white circles on the item's page to automatically upload them to the right spot.
• If you're adding an image to use in a page normally, click the "Upload file" link near the bottom of the left-hand menu.
  • You can then include the image with the following code: [[Image:image_name_here.png]].

Adding / Editing tables

• Here's some example code for a simple table with headers.

Animal	Cuteness	Danger
Snow Leopard	8	5
Turtle	1	10

{| class="mabitable"
! Animal !! Cuteness !! Danger
|-
| Snow Leopard || 8 || 5
|-
| Turtle || 1 || 10
|}

Including Other Pages

If you need to include another page or a notice or something, you can use the following syntax.

{{:Wiki Home/Maintenance Notice}}

Tagging & Categories

• Many tags and categories are automated (for example tags on weapons automatically categorize them).
  • Otherwise you can tag pages into categories by putting something like this at the bottom.
