Creating new pages

To create an article, you can:

  1. start from scratch by clicking from a intra-site link that is not already linked to an article,
  2. create a page using the input box below,
  3. view source code from another article,
  4. or, copy the source code of predefined templates such as these:

General formatting instructions

Formatting wiki content can be a hurdle for the initiated. To help you get started, I've prepared a list of links that might be useful:

Site-specific formatting instructions

Referencing style

Whenever you need to reference sources, you should format your references in the Harvard style of reference.

For example (note how the text is punctuated and italicised),

  • Bester, Alfred; introduction by Harry Harrison (1996). Demolished Man, The, New York: Vintage Books. ISBN 0-67976-781-9.

In the situation that you need to quote a phrase or paragraph from another source, you can reference your text in the following manner:

<blockquote>
"The name of Babel, which is in Assyrian 'bab-ilani', or
'babilu', i.e. the Gate of God, is a Semitic translation
of the Accadian 'Ka-dingirra-ki'; with the same meaning;
literally: 'Gate + of God + the place'. The etymology of 
the name Babel from balbel, 'to confound,' which is
suggested both in the Assyrian account of the story and
in Genesis, is one of those popular etymologic errors
which are frequently found in ancient authors."<br />
''—The History of the Devil and the Idea of Evil''
<ref>Carus, Paul, Dr. ''History of the Devil and the Idea of
Evil, The'', New York: Gramercy Books. ISBN 0-51715-064-6.</ref>
</blockquote>

Which would appear like this:

"The name of Babel, which is in Assyrian 'bab-ilani', or 'babilu', i.e. the Gate of God, is a Semitic translation of the Accadian 'Ka-dingirra-ki'; with the same meaning; literally: 'Gate + of God + the place'. The etymology of the name Babel from balbel, 'to confound,' which is suggested both in the Assyrian account of the story and in Genesis, is one of those popular etymologic errors which are frequently found in ancient authors."

Biblical text

For biblical text, you can use the following syntax:

For example, Revelation 1:8 would be,

<bible ver="kjv">Rev 1:8</bible>

Capitalisation

For headings and subheadings, the first letter should always be capitalised and the rest of the characters small letters unless absolutely necessary (e.g. in the case of names)

Redirection

Often, because of variations in character and object names in the games, you may need to redirect the alias links to their intended articles. To do this, you can use either a piped link or a redirect function. The following pages show you how to do it:
