This page will teach you the basics of Wiki-coding. Should there be something that you cannot find here, but want explanained, ask here.
Linking
To set an internal link, write [[insert page name here]]</nowiki To change the text that is displayed, type <nowiki>[[actual page name|wanted text]]
It is also possible to link to a specific section of a page. For that, write [[article name#name of section]]. As an example, to lead to
External Links
To add an external link, write [http://web adress]
Again, it is possible to change the displayed text. This time, however, simple leave a space between the adress and the text. E.g: [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Recentchanges the recent changes] would make the recent changes.
Signatures
How to sign a post
To sign your name at the end of your posts, you type four tildes.
Three tildes will only display your signature without the time, and five will only show the time without your sig.
Custom Signatures
To make a custom signature, first make a subpage to your userpage called User:(Your username)/sig. On that page, you can add a link to your userpage if you like, and edit your username as you want it to appear in your signature, maybe adding colour, a picture, or a link to your talk page.
After you fixed up your custom sig to your liking, you now (quite obviously) want to display it. To do so, save your creation, then go to your preferences screen in the upper right hand corner. In the "Nickname" field (right under your email address), add {{SUBST:User:(yourname)/sig}}, make sure that "Raw signature" is checked, and save. Now when you sign your name, your sig should be replaced by your custom sig.
- Example: Take a look at User:Goolix/sig. User:Prezintenden/sig, or User:Greenpickle/sig as examples of how to turn the coding into something nifty. If you find some other user's sig you like, you can take a look at the source by adding "/sig" at the end of the user in question's userpage.
Note that this now makes it possible to write {{User:(Your Username)/sig}} on a talk page. This will "update" your signature on pages if you perform changes to your sig. This will not display time, though, but adding ~~~~~ will make up for that if you wish.
Categories
If you want to add a page to a category, simply add [[Category:Category's name]].
If you want to make a link to a category and don't want to add the page to that specific category, add a colon in front of "Category". Shown as a visual, to make Category:2-Player Locations, type [[:Category:2-Player Locations]].
Coding
These are the most basic and most used coding markups.
If a display of wiki coding is wanted, type <nowiki>code</nowiki> (note that a "/" is displayed when the tag should be dismissed).
To redirect a page to a different one, write #REDIRECT [[Pagename to be linked to]]
If you do not wish to include something to a page, add <includeonly></includeonly> tags in front- and after the text.
To change to bold text, either type 3 ''' in front- and behind of the text, or the <b></b> tags.
For italic text, type either 2 '', or <i></i>
