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.
Basics
- Follow the Page Name Guidelines
- Use Wiki syntax wherever possible, only use HTML if necessary.
- Use Templates whenever the same text should appear on two or more pages.
- Most pages should be in at least one Category, define Categories always at the bottom of a page
- Do not link to your personal pages from offical manual pages! The families page does not need links to every family in battlemaster.
- Links and page names should be plain english and not "CamelCase". MediaWiki does not automatically create links, you have to use the [ [ name ] ] syntax, so you can use proper titles as well.
Namespaces
Remember that you can not define new namespaces. They syntax might make you believe you can, but "Example:XXX" only creates a page named so, it does not create an "Example" namespace. To cluster pages, use Categories, not namespace. Namespace is a meta-concept.
The namespaces we use:
- Main (or "BattleMaster Wiki") or no prefix - most pages.
- Help: For pages that help people getting around the wiki.
- Meta: Stuff for the editors or people interested in contributing things.
