Hi! Thanks for wanting to participate in the Time of Unparalleled Darkness wiki! This page provides documentation on how to use the wiki in terms of creating and editing pages, and specific instructions in how to use the special extensions our wiki has.

Paragraphs

MediaWiki ignores single line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can force a line break within a paragraph with the HTML tag <br>.

HTML tags

Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code></code>, <div></div>, and <span></span>. These apply anywhere you insert them.

Description You type You get

<ins>Inserted</ins>

Blockquotes

If the quote contains multiple paragraphs the tags need to be on separate lines to display properly, i.e.: 
<blockquote>

Syntax Highlighting

For example: 

def quick_sort(arr):
	less = []
	pivot_list = []
	more = []
	if len(arr) <= 1:
		return arr
	else:
		pass

is the result of the following wikitext markup: 

<syntaxhighlight lang="python" line>
def quick_sort(arr):
	less = []
	pivot_list = []
	more = []
	if len(arr) <= 1:
		return arr
	else:
		pass
</syntaxhighlight>

NWScript highlighting is generally best under C++, but a full list of supported languages is available on the extension page.

Inserting symbols

Symbols and other special characters not available on your keyboard can be inserted in a multitude of ways. [<tvar name=url>http://www.howtogeek.com/210824/how-to-quickly-type-special-characters-on-any-computer-smartphone-or-tablet/</tvar> Many operating systems and browsers allow to insert special characters] through a menu option or operating system panel. Additionally, you can use the WikiEditor or [[<tvar name=2>Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Special characters</tvar>|VisualEditor]] to insert them into the edit screen. </translate>

As a last resort, you can use a special sequence of characters. Those sequences are called HTML character references.

For example:

  • the rightwards arrow symbol (→) can be displayed using the &rarr; sequence.
  • an em dash (—) can be displayed using &mdash;.

<templatestyles src="Note/styles.css" />

<translate> Hover over any symbol to reveal the entity that produces it. Some symbols not available in the current font will appear as empty squares.</translate>

<translate> See the list of all HTML entities on the Wikipedia article List of HTML entities. Additionally, MediaWiki supports two non-standard entity reference sequences: &רלמ; and &رلم; which are both considered equivalent to &rlm; which is a right-to-left mark. (Used when combining right to left languages with left to right languages in the same page.)

Nowiki for HTML

</translate> Template:Tag <translate> can prohibit (HTML) tags:</translate>

  • <<nowiki/>pre>  → <pre>

<translate> But not & symbol escapes:</translate>

  • &<nowiki/>amp;  → &

<translate> To print & symbol escapes as text, use "<tvar name=1>&amp;</tvar>" to replace the "&" character (eg. type "<tvar name=2>&amp;nbsp;</tvar>", which results in "<tvar name=3>&nbsp;</tvar>").

Spoilers

Spoiler tags allow text that can be considered Spoilers, or knowledge someone shouldn't easily have in character. 

{{#spoiler:hide=hide_message|spoiler_text}}
{{#spoiler:show=show_message|spoiler_text}}
{{#spoiler:show=show_message|hide=hide_message|spoiler_text}}
{{#spoiler:spoiler_text}}

Changing the Title, Description, and Keywords

When you enter the following in a wiki page: 

<seo title="word1,word2" metakeywords="word3,word4" metadescription="word5,word6" google-site-verification="123456789-abfd123456" />

...or the shorter... 

<seo title="word1,word2" metak="word3,word4" metad="word5,word6" google-site-verification="123456789-abfd123456" />

...these words are added to the HTML title and meta headers. This makes SEO (search engine optimization) with MediaWiki easier.

For example, the above would become: 

<title>word1,word2 - Wiki Name</title>         (the string "word1,word2" replaces page title)
<meta name="keywords" content="word3,word4" />
<meta name="description" content="word5,word6" />
<meta google-site-verification="123456789-abfd123456" />
