Quick Wiki Guide

This page is designed to be a very quick crash course in how to construct a good Wiki page, make it look reasonable and understand how all the coding works into building your own character, location, ship or anything else that you'd like to add to Descension's wiki.

Bold, Italics
To add bold or italics to text, you need to use apostrophes around the text. Use two for italics and three for bold. For example: This is a bold statement is This is a bold statement. You can use 5 for both italics and bold.

Underline, Strikethrough
Unfortunately Wiki doesn't have native support for these. Instead, you need to use text and text to get results for these ones.

New Lines
Hitting enter once is not enough to get a new line in a Wiki page. You need to hit enter twice to get blank space between your text to make it appear on a new line, or use  to do it. Please note that you shouldn't use Wiki's bold or italics on one line then start a new line with open tags.

Headings
Headings are indicated using = around the text you want to make a heading, with two as minimum. Using headings will automatically insert text onto a new line. You can layer these to have sub-headings by adding more = to get sub-headings. For example: ==Heading One== Text here!

Subheading One
I like pie.

Subheading Two
I also like cake.

Sub-Subheading One
It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake.

Subheading Three
Cheesecake is awesome.

As well, if you use more than two headings using two equals signs, you will get a small collapsible table of contents at the top of your page.

To Another Descension Wiki Page
Creating a link to another page is easy: just wrap it in double square brackets. For example:

Mirus Cavataio would output Mirus Cavataio.

You can change the text of the link to whatever you like, by adding a vertical bar and your text. As an example, This Is A Link to give you This Is A Link.

To link to an external page, use a single set of square brackets, your URL, a space, then the text you want to display. Google displays Google.

Descension's wiki also has two handy templates that allows you to quickly make a link to either a Descension thread or a Star Wars Wikipedia page. This works as follows. Hover over each of the links to see the result.

For Star Wars Wiki: eg.

For Descension: eg. . For this you need the thread number, which is at the end of every Descension URL after /topic/.
