How to edit
It's very easy to edit the contents of a wiki:
- Click the "[edit]" button next to an article, or at the top of the page
- Make changes to the text.
- Click the "Save changes" button.
Simple as that!
Formatting Tools
For those of us who have never worked on a wiki before (including myself), the following sections can be used to see what available tools you have at your disposal. Click 'Edit' and view the source so you know what the code is to use these effects.
Headings
Headings are created by surrounding your text with equals (=) signs. The heading level is determined by the number of consecutive signs.
- Do not use level 1 headers (=SAMPLE HEADER=)
- Their use is discouraged by the MediaWiki User Guide
Table of Contents
Table of contents are automatically generated when you have enough headings on the page. The sections are divided by the size of the heading used.
If you don't want a ToC, add the following to the top of the page:
__NOTOC__
If you want to add a ToC somewhere in the middle of a page, add the following at the desired location:
__TOC__
If you want a ToC but don't want to show all the sections used in it: {{TOC limit|3}}
This is primarily used in character pages. Each move is its own section for the sake of convenince.
Hiding Text
hidable section (for example hiding a long list of combos or videos):
- Example source
<div class="mw-collapsible"> hidable text </div>
- Example in action
hidable text
that takes
up
space
click [Collapse] to hide text
to have it start collapsed, add "mw-collapsed" to the class
- Example source
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"> hidable text </div>
- Example in action
hidable text
takes up
a
lot
of
space
click [Expand] to show hidden text
Hiding Tables
add "mw-collapsable" to the table's class to make it collapsible. To make the table start collapsed add "mw-collapsable mw-collapsed" to the table's class.
Sorting Tables
add "sortable" to the table's class to make it sortable.
Lists
- you can have a list of items
- by adding a * at the start of a line
- You can also have
- nested lists
- by adding more *s in the front
- or you can have a numbered list
- by adding a # at the start of a line
- and do nested numbered lists
- the same way
Column Lists
- Useful for frame data with lots of notes
- Default is to have two columns
- Can change number of columns by using the col variable
- test1
- test2
- test3
- test4
- test5

To upload an image to the server, click on the "Upload File" option located in the Toolbox on the left sidebar and follow the instructions there. If you have multiple images you want to upload, select "Upload multiple files" from the sidebar. The multiple upload link only appears in the sidebar when viewing the front page of the wiki.
To add an image to a page, [[File:ImageName.png]]
There are many image options, such as thumbnails, captions, max size, etc. and they are listed http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Images#Syntax
Breaking Text Past Thumbnail
If you want to break text so that there's space until the end of a thumbnail, simply add <br clear=all/> at the place where you want the space.
this text will show below the image
