Help:Editing

Categories

At the bottom of any given document shound be links in the following format:

[[Category: Name]]

This will cause a special link to appear where it is placed, leading to a category.

If the document's name begins with the word "The", it is preferable to do this:

[[Category: Name|<Document name - "the">]]

This will cause the document to be sorted ignoring the word "The", which is highly preferable. "The Explosive Mushroom" has a tag like this, as seen below:

[[Category: Name|Explosive Mushroom]]

To add an article to more than one category, simply add more Category tags:

[[Category:Fangame]]

[[Category:Site]]

To link to a category without placing the article in said category, append a colon to the beginning:

[[:Category:Site]]

Images

Images are placed similar to URLs: [[Image:ImageName.ext]]

Optionally, you can move the image to the right: [[Image:ImageName.ext|right]]

And thumbnail it: [[Image:ImageName.ext|thumb|right]]

And give it a description (thumbnail only): [[Image:ImageName.ext|thumb|right|Description]]

Lists

Lists may be in two formats:

• This is
• The first format

   *This is
   *Another

These lists are obtained by placing an asterisk (*) and then the items. Indenting the asterisk with four spaces grants it its own box.

Redirects

To create a redirect to another article, create an article containg only this:
#REDIRECT [[Some Article]]
The article name is case-sensitive. This is particularly helpful in User: <name> articles, accessed by clicking a username such as on Last Made Changes page.

Templates

Templates are called by placing their name in between curled brackets:

{{MFGGer}}

Fields are allocated to the template by placing them after |'s:

{{MFGGer
| name = Their username 
| othernames = Any other names they've used, separate with commas 
| type = Their member group: Admin, Moderator, Member, Banned 
| realname = Their actual name 
| interests = Their interests, separate with commas 
| badges = (see below)
}}Place beginning of article here with no line break

Disabling Code

<nowiki>'''[[SonicProject]]'''</nowiki>

Normally '''[[SonicProject]]''' would do this: SonicProject

But not when you use the nowiki tag. The nowiki tag allows you to demostrate how particular codes are used. This is especially useful when creating help pages.
