Tutorial:Advanced Editing

Here are some advanced maneuvers for editing.

Tables

You really won't need to set up tables in your general edits. You can use HTML style tables, or the wiki system has a table set-up involving judicious use of pipes '|', square brackets '[' and other characters, if you're so inclined.

Images

TODO: Explain how to handle images.

Shortcuts

There are some nifty shortcuts to creating text as follows:

Links, Redirects, and Disambiguation

Links are how we navigate within the wiki.

[[Standard Link]] is what a standard link looks like

it will point to a page called Standard Link.

[[Standard Link|This link]] is called a piped link

A piped link will make a link point to a different place. Put the link target first, then the pipe character "|", then the link text; It works like this.

External links are simple, just type a URL 

http://www.yog-sothoth.com becomes http://www.yog-sothoth.com

External links can be given a title 

Wrap a URL in single, not double, braces and use a space to separate the URL from the title like this: [http://www.yog-sothoth.com YSDC] becomes YSDC - if you leave no title, it becomes a number like this: [1]

Colors vary depending on the style you've selected

If the link is red, it points to a page on the wiki that does not yet exist. If it is purple, it points to a page that already exists.

Plurals do not matter

Standard Link and Standard Links point to the same page.

Capitalization matters after the first letter

Standard Link and standard Link point to the same page, but standard link does not.

You can redirect pages

To make it so than any link to standard link goes to the Standard Link page, put #REDIRECT [[Standard Link]] as the sole content of standard link.

Disambiguation pages are for multiple definitions of the same topic

For example, The Call of Cthulhu could mean the game or the book or the XBox game. The Call of Cthulhu has been set up as a disambiguation page and is a good example. Other Disambiguation pages are [[listed here.
