Formatting Guide

This page provides a simple guide on formatting in this wiki. If you are in doubt, it is recommended you look at a similiar page. For example, if you are making a character page, format it similiar to another character page.

Headings and Sections
Headings can be used for titling sections. To use a heading, look up in the interface, to where as standard it would say "normal text." Click the drop down menu and select which heading you which to use. The largest of headings (Heading 2) should be reserved for overall headings. In location pages, for example, these can be used for "history." If history is to be broken down into smaller sections, smaller headings should be used as things come into smaller and smaller subheadings. To know which sections and heading to use, look at similar pages.

Linking
The strength of the wiki format is the web of links between pages. To create a link, highlight the word that you want to be a link. Then click the chain icon in the top left of the edit interface. If the word already has a page, then you should be able to link right away. If not, you may have to change the page to link to section. If the page doesn't exist, but you think it should in the future, then feel free to make a broken link, which may fix itself in the future.

When linking to a page, you should only link once. If, for example, the word "Human" is used several times, only the first instance should be a link.

After adding links, an appropriate category should be added, using the menu to the right of the interface. Some pages may have more then one category.

Screenshots
Screenshots are easy to take and make a page more interesting! To take a screenshot while playing on the server, press F1 to hide the GUI and then F2 to take the screenshot. Press F1 again to bring the GUI back up. (These only work if keybindings have not been changed.) Once you have the screenshot, find it in your folder. Normally, you will need to open the "realmoftheoverlord" folder on the drive that FtB is installed, then open the "minecraft" folder. Then, the screenshot folder.

Before uploading a screenshot, crop it to 600x600, or a similiar 1:1 ratio size. This can be done easily in paint.

Uploading a screenshot requires you to have signed up to wikia. Do so in the top right!

Once this is done, just click the photo button under "add features and media" to the right of the edit interface, and upload your screenshot. Adjust the size of the photo here to 300px, and give it an approriate caption. Then, you're done!
