This is a guide to wiki editing. Before you get started, make sure you have read the style guide. If you are creating a new page, the example article is an excellent place to visit and copy.

Links
Links are perhaps the most important part of the BattleMaster wiki. There are two main type of links, internal links and external links. Internal links point to pages on the BattleMaster wiki; external links point to other pages on the internet.
Internal Links
There are several ways to create internal links on the Battlemaster wiki. The simplist of which is to type:
[[page name]]
which will automatically create a link that looks like: page name (Red links point to nonexistant articles.)
Below are some more advanced techniques for controlling not only where the link points, but how it looks.
Plural Links
[[Judge]]s are responsible for [[ban]]ning enemies of the [[realm]].
Judges are responsible for banning enemies of the realm.
Piped Links
[[battle|Combat]] occurs only at [[time|sunrise]] and [[time|sunset]].
Combat occurs only at sunrise and sunset.

Links to: Meta:Style guide
Section Links
You might even be [[death#executions|executed]].
You might even be executed.
Links to: Death#executions i.e. the "Executions" section of the "Death" page
External Links
The simplest form of external link is to simple type in the url for example:
The BattleMaster Bugtracker is at: http://bugs.battlemaster.org/
The BattleMaster Bugtracker is at: http://bugs.battlemaster.org/
As long as the url starts with http:// it will be automatically converted to a link.
Unnamed Links
External links use only one set of square brackets.
[http://bugs.battlemaster.org/]
Note that these look funny. They should not be used without a good reason.
Named Links
Do not exploit any bugs you find. Bugs should be reported on the [http://bugs.battlemaster.org/ Battlemaster Bugtracker].
Do not exploit any bugs you find. Bugs should be reported on the Battlemaster Bugtracker.

Mediawiki User's Guide
- A good quick reference for wiki commands is the Help:Editing page for Mediawiki.
- You should also check the Mediawiki User's Guide. Over time, we'll transfer what is appropriate from there to this page.
This article is a stub or placeholder. The BattleMaster Wiki is a collaborative effort, and you can help expand it by adding to this article.
