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 =====
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.
Resource |
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
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 = }}
