Guide to Easy Editing

This is a first draft of the guide to "easy editing".

Known issues and questions to editors:

Can be up to four separate templates needed depending on the page. Is that ok?
Templates have to keep all parameters, and kept blank if not used. Confusing?

Please give feedback in Discord #wiki-spoilers.

Page Layout

Infobox
Intro
Description
statistics template
Sockets and Storage template
Recipe & Produced by template
Tips
Category template

Headers

Pages are separated by ===== Headers ===== Currently you will have to add the following headers if you need them:

===== Description =====
===== Tips =====
Statistics, Sockets and Storage, Recipe & Produced by headers are added automatically if you use the templates below.

Templates

Four templates...

Statistics, Sockets and Storage, and 'Recipe & Produced by are optional depending on the page.
Category is needed if you want a navbox E.g.

Statistics

If you want to add item stats, you can do so by copying the following:

Todo: paste code

Sockets and Storage

Todo: everything

Category

This will add the Navbox and create a category which is important if you want your new page to be added the the navbox automatically. (Eventually)

Copy and paste this at the bottom of the page
If you only want to use one parameter, leave the others blank.

{{Category
|race =
|item-type =
|material-type =
|entity-type =
|unit-type =
}}

The following parameters are used:

race = Aliens / Bugs / Humans / Robots
item-type = Components / Resources / Materials / Research / Packages
material-type = Simple / Advanced / High-tech
entity-type = Building / Unit
unit-type = Alien / Bug / Human / Bot / Space

Examples:
Page for Metal Ore	Page for Scout
{{Category \|race = \|item-type = Resources \|material-type = \|entity-type = \|unit-type = }}	{{Category \|race = Robots \|item-type = \|entity-type = Unit \|unit-type = Bot }}

Recipe/Produced by

If you want to add a recipe, you can do so by copying the following:

Copy and paste to page after stats. Insert names and numbers
You must include all the parameters. If there's only 1/2/3 ingredients or production, leave the rest blank.

{{Recipe_Production
|name =
|ingredient1 =
|amount1 =
|ingredient2 = 
|amount2 = 
|ingredient3 = 
|amount3 = 
|ingredient4 = 
|amount4 = 
|produced-by1 =
|time1 =
|produced-by2 = 
|time2 = 
}}
