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.


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 = 
}}
