At the moment we are establishing some basic layout for organizing information. The best way to figure out how to edit pages is to look at some examples. Go to a page you like and click edit, it will show you what the editor had to type in to make that page. If you have something to add, but aren't sure you completely understand all the editing features, just do your best. If it doesn't fit some format that we're following we can always change it. Poorly formatted information is better than no information at all.

We have some simple guidelines in place for naming new pages. Omit any articles ("the" "a" "an") at the beginning of a name. Also, capitalize each word in a multi-word title.

All areas, lists of gear or mobs, or other pages which logically "contain" other pages should be created as categories. Category naming follows the same rules as page naming, but use plural nouns when appropriate. Category:Mobs In Midgaard, Category:Gear In Apocalypse and Category:Hero Tank Gear are some example categories.

To put a page in a category, put [[Category: blah]] anywhere on the page (but preferably at the bottom. More specific categories are better places to put new pages.

To link to a category page without making the page you're editing a part of that category, do something like [[:Category:blah]] <--that. The important part is the colon ( : ) in front of the word Category.

If you think that having your link say "Category:" in front of it is ugly, you can rename the link with a pipe ( | ). For instance, by typing [[:Category:Gear In Apocalypse|Apoc Gear]] I've made this link to the same page as the one linked above: Apoc Gear. BTW, link renaming works for all links, not just those to categories.

Other than that we don't have any big secrets to making nice Wiki pages. To edit a page, click on the edit link at the top of the page. From there the Wiki software does a good job of explaining the editing features. You can also use simple HTML to format a page if you'd like. If you can't figure something out, try looking here
