Beginners Guide

What you will probably like is headlines. Those are done like:

===Orientation and sweating - first week===

The number of equal signs determines the size/level of the headlines. So the text above would create a level 3 headline. If you have some headlines a TOC will be created automatically at top of the page.

 

I edited the page and put in the headlines for you. The Wiki, unfortunately, has yet a different format for tables, so you're not quite done yet. It uses a special way to handle them, and you can get some basic idea of the format by clicking the table button on the editor toolbar.

A lot of the things you refer to in the guide also exist as wiki pages on our own wiki. If you need some help putting those links into place, feel free to let us know :)

 

I did one of the tables for you, to make your life a bit easier. If you edit the page, you can see the table format looks like this:

The first line indicates we are creating a table, adds a CSS class (for layout purposes) to it. The sortable means we add sorting functionality to the columns of the table. The cellpadding and border are layout related again.

The line starting with |+ is the title of the table.

|- indicates the start of a new line or row, while |! starts a column header. |- finally, indicates a new column. Every column in the code above is on an individual row, mostly to make it easier on the eyes.

The double square brackets ([[ and ]]) are to indicate a link will be created. Basically, anything in the wiki that has a specific page can be linked to. If you would type [[Calypso Gateway]], it would add a link to Calypso Gateway.

If the page you link to is different than what you want to actually display, that can be done by using the pipe symbol ( | ). I.e. If I want to create a link to the page About_Calypso, but want to call it Planet Calypso instead, the code would be [[About_Calypso|Planet Calypso]].

I basically just linked to all the weapon names. These are slightly speacial, as we created a namespace for them (think of a namespace as a seperate bucket in which they reside). There is an (though perhaps not fully complete) oversight of all available Entropia Universe weapons. The namespace is added by prefixing the link with that. Also, as a sidenote, note that all spaces in wiki-pages are replaced with an underscore.

So the tag [[Weapon:Emik_S30_(L)|Emik S30 (L)]] means we want to make a link to the page Emik_S30_(L), which resides in the Weapons namespace, and we just want to call it Emik S30 (L).

Let me know if this is too confusing still :) I'll gladly explain a bit more clearly if that is the case.

 

Really nice to see the page progressing.

Another hint:

By chance you copied some wiki code on the page. "----" is used for generating horizontal lines. So maybe you want to get rid of that or limit it to "----".

Level 1 and level 2 headlines (=headline= or ==headline==) have a horizontal line attached too. If you want to get rid of it you can change to level 3 headlines (===headline===).

 

Hey Fuega,

Guide looks great.

I took a look at the wiki page and did a few tweaks. Nothing special but mostly to show you how stuff can be done a bit different and maybe better.

I changed you list of goals to a bulleted list by putting * in front of every entry and changed your numbered list by putting # in front of every entry.
I also changer your references to 'real' wiki references. This way they get numbered and will appear automatically at the location you put this: <references/>

hope you don't mind, just a little thing to make your life easier
