Using templates and sample Wiki Markup Language
- Main article: Help:Templates
- See also: Help:Useful Templates
Standardized formatting is maintained throughout Paragon Wiki by the use of sample markup language and templates.
Sample Markup Language
Sample markup language allows for a simple cut-and-paste of formatting code from one page into another and then adding or changing the content to fit the article. This can be done from a blank sample form or by cutting-and-pasting from an existing article.
An example of a blank form that is used for creating a new page for a contact can be found here: Sample contact form.
Templates
Templates are specialized pages that define a specific type of formatting style. Editors can then call that template into a page and apply it to their text to make that text take on that pre-defined formatting. Templates are called with the double curly brackets {{ }} .
For example, on Paragon Wiki there are templates for colored fonts. The template for making text red is {{red|SampleText}} which would appear on a page as SampleText.
Creating pages and page name management
- Understanding Namespaces (for example: main · User: · User_Talk: · File: · etc...)
- Creating a new page or article (tip: fill in box on main page)
- Naming an article (tip: the case of the first letter doesn't matter, for every other letter, case does matter!)
- Moving/Renaming a page
- How to lay out a page on Wikipedia
- Page layout help on Paragon Wiki
Categories
- Understanding categories for readers
- Understanding categories for editors
- More detailed information on categories
Practice
- The wikimedia sandbox (a useful site for playing with formatting without creating a new article)
Image Editing
GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) (wiki). Open source, cross platform. Can do most anything Photoshop can (in the right hands). Make sure you install the GTK+ libraries first.
Paint.NET (wiki) is based on the .NET Framework by Microsoft. Some call it what MSPaint should have been.
Obsolete info
- Store Templates to use so that you don't have to type in the names off all the enhancements a store sells
Older info, may be outdated
- Help:Exploration Badge Template Is this still up to date?
