Hello. You can find me ingame as Gorgonzola ;) .. I'm just a player learning MediaWiki.
I don't like Wikia because it's riddled with ads, and only half the page is actual content. It is cool that they are making Wikimedia more accessible though (with the rich text edit, etc). Hopefully you'll find the MediaWiki formatting and editing articles below useful.
I hope by improving the Main Page, and adding a bit of structure in these early days of the alpha, that it will encourage other players to expand the content.

Regarding my edits
- I use a for most pages that I don't expect to be long. People are accustomed to mouse wheels, and the TOC tends to make the top of the article look bad with a lot of white space (a solution would be to float the TOC to the right in some pages, that may be doable with a template). The marker can always be removed later if something gets long enough.
- The more templates the better, since they are includes. Templates like "monster stats" can be expanded after alpha, with minimal edits (adding parameters to the templates used in the articles).
- NPC and Dungeon and Zone templates are just a structure guide to save a bit of time (copy/paste). They are not actual templates as that would be quite complex to handle (I presume parameters would be too long).

Stylesheets TODOs
- Links are in dark blue barely distinguishable from normal text.
