Remember: These are just guidelines! ;-)
Templates
Fast ways to type complex things, and/or have one place to format certain things.
See also the complete template list, and Wikimedia's Help:Template.
Small templates
Here are a few templates I've created and recommend everyone use.
| Template | Effect |
|---|---|
| {{homm}} | Heroes of Might and Magic III |
| {{roe}} | Restoration of Erathia |
| {{hommroe}} | Heroes of Might and Magic III: Restoration of Erathia |
| {{ab}} | Armageddon's Blade |
| {{inab}} | |
| {{sod}} | Shadow of Death |
| {{insod}} | |
| {{hc}} | Heroes Chronicles |
| {{inhc}} | |
| {{inabhc}} | Template:Inabhc |
| {{insodhc}} | Template:Insodhc |
| {{wog}} | Template:Wog |
| {{inwog}} | Template:Inwog |
| {{Comboartifact}} | Template:Comboartifact |
Large templates
Creature Statistics
Format: {{creaturestats|Town name|Attack|Defense|Shots|Damage|Health|Speed|Special Abilities|Picture|Basic Growth|Cost per unit}}
{{creaturestats|Rampart|5|3|0|2-3|8|6|None|C_nopic.PNG|14|70 [[gold]]}}
produces
Grail structures
{{Grail|Town Type}}
*Specific effect
produces
- Specific effect
Skills
The Skills template is also used in spell pages to show the effect of having a secondary skill in the relevant school of magic.
{{skills|Damage|100%|110%|125%|150%}}
produces
Spells
{{Spelltable|Earth Magic|6|1 round for each [[Spell Power]]|1st}}
produces
Town's Creature List
The following should be typed all on one line. It's been broken up so as not to widen the page.
{{creaturelist|Centaur|Centaur Captain| \
Dwarf|Battle Dwarf| \
Wood Elf|Grand Elf| \
Pegasus|Silver Pegasus| \
Dendroid Guard|Dendroid Soldier| \
Unicorn|War Unicorn| \
Green Dragon|Gold Dragon}}
produces
Categories
Use categories to group pages.
Add page in a category
Just add [[Category: name of category]] somewhere in the page.
A page can have multiple categories. Just add more [[Category: category]] links on the page.
Create a new category
Do exactly like when adding a page to a category. If the category doesn't exist, it will be created.
List of existing categories
Special: Categories - Some of them may be removed later.
Images
You can get a complete list of images at Special:Imagelist.
Upload
You need to be registered and logged in to upload pictures. Once you are, go to Special:Upload. See also the Upload Log.
New images
You'll find a list of newly uploaded images on the Special:Newimages page.
Unused pictures
Special: Unusedimages - See if there's anything you want to write about
What to do?
Most wanted page
Special:Wantedpages shows a list over the pages that have most links to it. This would be a good start.
Recent edits
Look through the Special:Recentchanges page and see if there are some spelling errors, some layout you could fix, some info you could add..
Short pages
Special:Shortpages shows the shortest pages in the wiki.
Surf around
Surf around. See if you find places you know something that's not in the text, look for red links, make a new page if needed.
Don't forget
Make sure there isn't another page like the one you make (a good example would be Knowledge Tree and Tree of Knowledge.)
