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", as in "The Exploding Mushroom" it is preferable to do this:
[[Category: MFGGer|Exploding 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>
This prevents '''[[SonicProject]]''' from parsing as SonicProject, or any other code in the nowiki tag.
