Here is where I'll keep tutorials on how to use certain aspects of the wiki!

  Links are incredibly important to know how to use when editing, so here's a tutorial for people that are just starting out!

Here is an example of setting up a link. Apple Creates: Apple This creates a link to the page "Apple". The text formatted by the link is also "Apple". To change this, you can use " | " to set what text you want to be affected by the link. For example, here is how you would change the text shown. Banana Would create: Banana Notice how it is still linked to the page "Apple" but the text shown is "Banana". If you are trying to link the page "Apple" but you want the text to say "Apples", You could run into a few problems.

Here is the text used for the link: Apples And here is the link displayed: Apples This page just doesn't exist, so it displays red text instead of the link. Here is the text used for the link: Apples And here is the link displayed: Apples This looks like it works, but it isn't as space-efficient as it could be. Here is how to add characters to the end of your link. Apples Will create the link: Apples Not only is this space-efficient, but it works well, creating a nice and easy-to-learn way of shortening links!   There are many useful templates in this wiki, here is how to use some of the more common ones!
 * Problem #1:
 * Problem #2:

Color templates are all very similar, they consist of: Black How to format them is: A common error is not capitalizing the templates correctly. These templates are case-sensitive, so capitalizing wrong will create an error. Normally, you shouldn't have problems, but with multi-word templates, such as, you will have to capitalize the second word for it to work correctly.
 * Color Templates :

Rarity is a very common template used for printing colored rarity names. The different inputs into include:
 * Rarity :

You can customize the rarity message like this: will create: You can also add a section to toggle if the template adds categories or not. Will add a category dependant on the rarity specified. For example, adds the category "Common items" to the article its on. "addcategory" is set to false by default.

Stat is a very commonly used and useful template. The different inputs into include:
 * Stat :

Its very useful when adding info about certain items/weapons, and is used quite commonly. Most of the inputs into can be shortened, it would be best to check the Documentation for the shortened stat names. Here is an example of how is used!

creates

If needed, you can shorten how the statname is displayed, using this format:

For example,

will create:

Programming Knowledge
Website(s) used to learn language(s): https://codecademy.com/learn Very little/no knowledge of how to code using it. I'm working on learning, I have a basic/intermediate understanding of this language. I've picked up small bits along the way while editing pages. I don't know too much of this language. I've been doing research, I find it fun to mess around with! I use it mostly for my bot and configuring abuse filters.

Coding Projects
