Here are some general actions that can help with editing the wiki.

GUI Interface

There are some buttons above each edit page, each button has a specific job.

Linking To Other Wiki Pages

It is as simple as getting the page's name that you want linked and surrounding it with [[ and ]]

Ex:

If we wanted to link to the main page we would write [[Main Page]] and it would appear as: Main Page

Redirects

When the page is searched, or loaded from a link it will redirect to the approprate page

Ex:

#REDIRECT [[Hardcore Stratification]]

Uploading Files

Goto the upload page and choose a file off of your computer.
Note: Files must be of type png, gif, jpg or jpeg and may be no bigger than 10MB

Working With Text

Changing Colour

To change the colour surround with <span style="color:#RRGGBB"> Coloured Text </span> The #RRGGBB is a Hex RGB representation of the colour.

Ex:

Red Text

Green Text

Blue Text.

Italics / Bolding

To Italicise text surround with ''
To make text BOLD surround with '''

Links

To make a piece of text into a link

Ex:

[ http://example.ca TEXT TO BE TURNED INTO A LINK]

New Lines

To make a new line you can either insert<br>
Or you can just press enter twice (leave a line blank)

Preformatted Text

To have preformatted text, simply place a space before each sentence

Ex:

This
is 
easy
to 
do when you know 
how the wiki
        works :D

Indentation

To Indent Text place a : before the sentence, the amount of :'s determine the number of indents

Ex:

Text indentation level 1

Text indentation level 2

Text indentation level 10!

Lists

To make a list you need to put a # for a numbered list or a * for a bulleted list at the beginning of each element, to make a sub list, put a second, third or 'n'th # or *

Numbered List

1. This is a numbered List
2. Second
3. Third
   1. First Sub Third
   2. Second Sub Third
   3. Third Sub Third
      1. First Sub Third Sub Third
      2. Second Sub Third Sub Third
      3. Third Sub Third Sub Third
         1. First Sub Third Sub Third Sub Third
         2. Second Sub Third Sub Third Sub Third
         3. Inception?
4. Fourth
5. Easy Peasy
   • Use a #* for a dot rather than a number

   Use a #: for no mark at all

   These #: can also be used for new lines.. sorta

   • Note: When you use a dot, or nothing at all they become a sub part of the last element.

Bullet Lists

• Makin bullet Lists are easy too!
  1. Numbers work too!
  2. Second sub bullet
  3. Third Sub bullet
     • Ok ill stop that ;)
• Pew Pew!

Definition lists

These are used on the basis that each 'word' will have a 'definition' to make a 'word' place a ; then the word, then to add definitions to the word place a : before each sentence.

Ex:

Word

Definition

Another Word

Second Definition

Multiple Definitions per word do work

Third Wheel

Headers

There are 2-6 levels of headers to make a header, surround text with the amount of ='s corresponding to the header level you want. When page becomes too large to fit on screen, the wiki will show a map or legend of the headers on the top of the page.

It is also possible to create sub headers, this is done by increasing the number of ='s, so If we have a level 2 header than a level 3 header, the level 3 header will be a nested header of the 2nd level header.

Tables

First Column	Second Column	Third Column
Words in the first column, first row	Words in the second column, first row	Words in the third column, first row
Words in the first column, second row	Words in the second column, second row	Words in the third column, second row
Words in the first column, third row	Words in the second column, third row	Words in the third column, third row

And here is the code for the above table:

{| style="text-align: left;" class="wikitable" border="1"
|-
!scope="col" | First Column
!scope="col" | Second Column
!scope="col" | Third Column
|-
|Words in the first column, first row || Words in the second column, first row || Words in the third column, first row 
|-
|| Words in the first column, second row || Words in the  second column, second row || Words in the third column, second row 
|-
|| Words in the first column, third row || Words in the second column, third row || Words in the third column, third row 
|} 

Note: You can change the class="wikitable" to class="wikitable sortable" to allow users to sort the columns alphabetically.

Notices

If you need a notice put on the top of a page simply insert the notice on the page.

Notice	Effect

{{delete|REASON HERE --~~~~}}	Deletion Notice Image
