TABLE MAKING:

When making a table, it's quite simple to use copy and paste. To start your table off, use this code:

{| class="wikitable sortable"

This will start your code for table making. Now you need to make your table, so adding to the code written above, there's this:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
!Category 1
!Category 2
!Category 3

Make sure you include no spaces, or your wiki table will not turn into a table.

When you complete your categories type this:


|-

Directly on the line below it.

To make your table type in

| (Information matching categories)

For each table section, each section is another line below that line, so it would look like this:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Category 1
! Category 2
! Category 3
|-
| (information for category 1)
| (information for category 2)
| (information for category 3)

When finished with this line of it, type

|-

And then start your next line to your table. Most armor categories, such as the legendary and rare sections will center their parts to their graph, so instead of simply

| (information for category)

You will use:

| align=center |(Information for category)

It's what makes an Armour category looks like it does, and should be followed.

When you are done making your table it is extremely important to place

|}
At the end instead of:
|-

PAGE MAKING:

Most pages, as you have noticed have those boxes at the top, there are many templates for this pre made by the wiki, so it's easy to copy and paste them in, and then edit them. These are as follows:

CITIES:

{{Infobox/Town2
| name = (city name)
| areatype = city
| image = (insert image here)
| caption = Image of captions
| xcoordinate = Coords
| zcoordinate = Coords
| minlevel = Level of City
| armorlevel = Level of Armour merchants sale
| weaponlevel = Level of Weapon merchants sale
| potionlevel = Level of potions
| othermerchants = Merchants
| otherutilities = Merchants
| startquestnames = Quests that start in the city
| involvedquestnames = Quests that involve the city
}}

AREA(biome):

{{Infobox/Town2
| type = region
| image = Image of Biome
| caption = A small peek of the vast Canyon
| xcoordinate = General Coords of biome
| zcoordinate = General Coords of biome
| minlevel = Level of Biome
| othermerchants = Involved merchants in biome
| startquestnames = Quests in Biome
| biome = Type of biome(mountain, swamp, etc)
| mobs = Mobs in Biome
}}

LOCATION(like Thanos's Vault):

{{Infobox/Town2
| type = natural
| image = Image here
| caption = Image caption
| xcoordinate = Coords
| zcoordinate = Coords
| minlevel = Level of Location
| startquestnames = Quests that start in this location
| involvedquestnames = Quests that involve this location
| biome = Biome of Location
| mobs = Mobs in Location
| uses = Uses of Location
| requirements = Requirements to Enter Area
}}

CUSTOM:

{{Infobox
| above = Title of box
| image = Put image here
| header1 = Image Caption
| label1 = First Information label
| data1 = Information after Label
}}

Note: The label and headers can be toggled to match the amount of information you need to add.

Below your info box you would want to include the general information of your page. To link to other wiki pages you would type:

[[Name of Page]]

If the name of the page doesn't fit what you want in your thread, but you still wish to link to that page, you would type [[Name of Page | Word you want on your page]].

To make your categories, you would type:

==Category Name==

To create a new category to your page.

If you want to make bullet points, do this:

*words
*words
*words

CATEGORIZING:

Here's some copy and paste categories for your future pages:

Items:

[[Category:Items]]

Armour:

[[Category:Armour]]

Item Sets:

[[Category:Item Sets]]

Locations:

[[Category:Locations]]

Areas:

[[Category:Area]]

Cities:

[[Category:City]]

Weapons:

[[Category:Weapons]]

I might have missed some, but you get the general point. To use these, just copy and paste them beneath the last section of your page, they will automatically convert into the category box.

For future reference there is a wiki page for Wanted pages, help these be made:

https://wiki.wynncraft.com/index.php?title=Special:WantedPages

Thank you for reading my thread, and I hope this helps you edit the wiki in the future!

 

A bump for everyone that needs this thread to understand the complexity of the wiki.

 

well...i know html css javascript and some php...im thinking of making a website about wynncraft AS a wiki

 

Hmm...but we already have a wiki?

 

its bad :p

 

Then edit it.

 

Let our true wiki god @Moe_Ronickah review it
Also, pls give me access to editing ;-;

 

I bet he approves.

 

It's answer for my first or second sentence?
;-;

 

Both XD

 

Very Nice! Thank you for making this!

 

I'm hoping this helps others learn to edit the wiki.

 

Whatchootalkinabout? You've had write access since, well, at least 10 seconds ago.

 

He didn't notice
Time for pray to satan

 

Me, too.

 

Thanks Satan

 

I feel like the reason the wiki doesn't get updated is because people don't know how, if this could get added to the wiki as a link of some sort, it would help more people out.

 

Yes I did.

Make an account, let me know it's made, and I'll give you write access, ice.

You're welcome. See? You never know where or when I might show up.

 

Links to the forums, unless they are links to admin or mod created and locked pages, can get lost. I'd rather that you copy and edit your post into the Wiki. Make a new page: Wiki Editing Guide for Newcomers.
EVERYWHERE that you have markdown language that you want the reader to be able to read, bracket that language with <nowiki>XXX</nowiki>. For example, in order to display "[[Category:Armour]]" with the brackets on the wiki, you would edit it as: <nowiki>[[Category:Armour]]</nowiki>. After you create the page, I'll link it to the front page, which is locked. The page creation record then will have your name on it. You deserve the credit for it.

 

sounds hard, but I'll get it in there.
