Formatting Templates
For a full list of formatting templates, see Category:Formatting templates. Below are the most common:
- Template:Quote
- Quote official text (both ingame NPC talk and developer's posts).
- Template:Hint
- Hides light spoilers inside a tooltip. This helps keep the layout nice as these fit "inline". Keep these hints short because they appear as a tooltip. You can not use double quotes inside, use single quotes 'like this'.
- Template:Spoiler
- Hide big spoilers in a collapsible block. Unfortunately we can not format a table inside those! Consider using lists (bullet lists, definition lists).
- Template:ItemT
- This is a fun template that gives the appearance of an in-game item description. Its goal is to liven up the pages with some visuals. As for all templates, its value is that we can change the appearance later for many pages just by editing the template, so if the in-game appearance change, that is not a problem. Icons are not yet supported until the Wiki has better Extensions installed (a default "empty" icon is used).
- Template:MOB infobox
- Create an attractive "info card" for enemies and bosses. This is another way to liven up the pages. The info card does not document everything as that is in the body of the article. TODO More parameters will be added but are limited atm due to lack of proper Wiki Extensions.
Categories
This section gives an overview of the common categories:
F.A.Q.
- Q. This wiki is too light/bright/does not look like a gaming wiki!
- A: This is completely unimportant during the alpha. This wiki is hosted by the developers themselves, on their own domain. This means in due time, they may very well decide to revamp the general appearance to something more exciting. They obviously have more important things to do during alpha. What matters now is providing quality content and help for the players. If you prefer, consider helping out the Project: Gorgon Wikia site instead.
- Q. The rich text editor is too basic/ the syntax is complicated.
- A: It is. Consider it a new skillset. With that said, keep in mind this is collaborative work. If you don't like formatting things, simply focus on quality content. Someone else who is more into the layout and formatting will simply go over and tidy up things.
