[edit] Text Formatting

  • Bold text - Bold text is done by putting 3 ' (apostrophes) before and after the section you wish to have bold. Example: '''BOLD'''.
  • Italic text - Italic text is done by putting 2 ' (apostrophes) before and after the section you wish to have italic. Example: ''ITALIC''.
  • Underline text - Underlined text is done using HTML (hypertext markup language). Example: <u>UNDERLINED</u>. Be advised, not all HTML is permitted on the Wiki. To see a list of all permitted HTML tags, see reference HTML.

[edit] Linking

  • Internal Linking - Internal linking is done by putting 2 [[ (left brackets) before and 2 ]] (right brackets) after the page you wish to link. Example: [[Skills]] becomes Skills. Capitalization counts after the first letter with internal links. The first letter may be lowercase or uppercase, but the letter thereafter must be accurate. For example, Skills = skills, but not SKills, sKills or SKILLS.
  • Internal Linking with alternate text - So you want to link to something but don't want it to have the same words as the page? Eg. I don't know what to do!, as you can see, the words "I don't know what to do" are linked to the page called "Help". This is done like this - [[Help:Contents|I don't know what to do!]]. Instead of the link reading "Help" it will be whatever text follows the | (vertical line).
  • External Linking - Just type in the address and it will be linked automatically. Example: http://www.duels.com/
  • External Linking with alternate text - If you don't want the entire URL to bog up your precious textual space or just care to promote the sake of readability you can try this: [http://www.duels.com/ Duels] which will yield this: Duels.

[edit] Images

  • Images - Image:lore.gif Easy to do, [[Image:Imagename.gif]].

To do this go to "Upload file" at the bottem of the navigation to your left and upload a "gif" or "jpg" from you pc or from a site. If the image is not in the list it wont show.

  • Image formatting - [[Image:Imagename.gif|frame|left or right]]. You can't use both left and right at the same time.
    • Be courteous, avoid hotlinking images. Hotlinking is when you use the URL of an image that is hosted on someone else's server, and not your own. In essence, it steals their bandwidth, making their site slower. This applies to not only the http://www.duels.com/, but any website that is not used explicitly for hosting your images. There are websites that will host your images for free, such as http://www.photobucket.com/.

[edit] Organizing Text

[edit] Headings

To do the separate headings you see here (Text Formatting, Linking, Images, Other), what you need to do is have 2 = (equal signs) in front and behind the section you want to be a heading. Example: == HEADING == . You can create subsections as well by adding more = (equal signs), but you may not skip quantities, each subsection must have a consecutive number of = (equal signs). Eg., do not skip from 2 to 4, or 3 to 5.

[edit] Example:

== Heading ==
=== Subsection ===
==== Smaller Subsection ====

[edit] Points and Bullets

  • Dot points - To do these funky dot points I have been using, just put an asterisk there. ( Shift + 8 )
  • Numbered points - Seen mostly in the High Path skills, where it shows 1. 2. 3., et cetera. Instead of putting the actual numbers, put a # number sign (also known as 'pound' sign) there. ( Shift + 3 ) Each line should have 1 # number sign to make a

[edit] Example:

# Text will be 1. Text
## Subsection will be indented as the 1. item under 1. Text
### Text will be indented as the 1. item under previous subsection.
### Text will be indented as the 2. item under previous subsection.

  1. Text
    1. Subsection
      1. Text
      2. Text

[edit] Tables

Tables can be a little complicated, but are handy for creating a large amount of data in an organized way.

[edit] Example:

Player 1 Player 2 Player 3 Player 4
Wins: 53 39 36 47
Losses: 32 12 19 43


{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="center" This line denotes how the table will look.
! This is the first cell, it's blank.
! Player 1 The exclamation point signifies it's a header.
! Player 2
! Player 3
! Player 4
|- align="center" New row indicated by dash...
! Wins: The cells will be centered.
| 53
| 39
| 36
| 47
|- align="center" Same as above.
! Losses:
| 32
| 12
| 19
| 43
|-
|} This ends the table.


As you can see, it's a lot of confusing formatting that leads to a fairly simple result. Sometimes it is worth it to take the extra steps.

[edit] Other Languages

The Duels Wiki welcomes translations of any pages.

  • The default language of the wiki is English
  • any other language should be placed on a page with the same name followed by a space or underline and then the two letter [639-1] code for the language in question.
  • At the top of every page that has another translation, please place the following code block. (Changing languages as necessary.) 
Other languages: [[Level_fr|Français]] / [[Level_pt|Português]]
----
  • Use the native name for the link to the translation.
  • Alphabetize the list

[edit] Other

  • Horizontal Lines are added using four (4) dashes (----).
  • E-mail Links may be added by using [mailto:email@address.com E-mail Address] to get something that looks like this: Email Address

[edit] Notes to Editors

  • Please edit with consistency, do not use abbreviations without linking to the full name; Example: do not use EXP without linking it to the Experience article.
  • If you're afraid of making a mistake, copy and paste the article into a notepad or other text editor and save the original to your hard drive, just in case.
  • Leave notes to future editors within the article (make sure to have them be hidden by code), and make use of the notes left for you by previous editors.
  • Always make sure what you put in is accurate!
  • Always write decent stuff that is helpful to other players.
