Help:Templates

Templates explained for generic understanding of how templates work, how to use them.

All templates are special to each wiki because they have to be implemented. They might be derived from other wikis, gain from shared knowledge, but they are in most cases adjusted to suit the needs of each wiki.

Creating templates

It is best to contact MyraMidnight if you think we require new templates, but if you are confident in your template skills, then feel free to try your hand at it.

Protected templates

MyraMidnight has dominion over the core templates that set the foundation of our wiki. Do not worry about adjusting them though, because if the template is deemed essential and might cause a chain reaction of broken templates if changed incorrectly, then they are simply locked and only admins can edit them.

Notes
The wiki is very CASE SENSITIVE when it comes to links and filenames When you move a page to a new name, it will create a REDIRECT which forwards people to the current location Think of using Templates like you are actually filling in forms, manual is on the template pages themselves Please Use your UserPage like a sandbox to test out formatting or pre-creating content There are sometimes hidden notes which can only be seen while editing, <!-- putting these around the message -->. If you wish to update a picture, then edit it and upload a new version of the file.
