Guide to Easy Editing

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

Potential 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.

Words: (Todo: explain words?)

Header
Template
Parameter
Navbox
Infobox
Category

Make a Page

Type the URL of the page you want to make. Capitalise the first letter of each word e.g.
wiki.desyncedgame.com/Big Bot
If a page has been made, feel free to edit it.

Page Layout

Try to keep the layout of the game stuff the same for each page. Here's a suggestion for item and entity pages:

Infobox
Intro
Description
Entity Statistics & Sockets and Storage template
Recipe & Produced by template
Tips
Category template
Magic words

Infobox

At the top of each page copy the following and add a short description. This will be the box with the image (if there is an image).

If there is no image, upload one with the same name as the page (e.g. Big Bot)

{{Infobox
|description = few words to describe page
}}

Headers

Pages are separated by ===== Headers =====.
Add the following headers if you need them:

===== Description =====

===== Tips =====

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

Templates

There are three ready to use templates, and one work in progress. use them if you need them.

Entity Statistics & Sockets and Storage - are grouped together.
Component statistics - needs testing, please provide feedback if you use it.
Recipe & Produced by - is a group.
Category - is needed if you want a navbox E.g.

Entity Statistics

An entity is something that moves or a building that can equip a component

If you want to add entity stats & Sockets and Storage, you can do so by copying the following:

Copy everything and leave unwanted parameters blank.

{{Entity_Stats
|health = 
|power = 
|movement-speed = 
|visibility = 
|storage = 
|size = 
|race = 
|entity-type1 = 
|entity-type2 = 
|socket-l = 
|socket-m = 
|socket-s = 
|socket-i = 
}}

Component Statistics

Components are items made by materials that fit into sockets on an entity.

Copy everything and leave unwanted parameters blank.
This template needs testing / feedback. If there is a problem please tell us on discord.

{{Component_Stats
|health = 
|power = 
|visibility = 
|size = 
|race = 
}}

Recipe/Produced by

If you want to add a recipe, you can do so by copying the {{Recipe_Production template below

Copy and paste 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 = 
}}

Magic words

You can put them anywhere in the page on their own line. Putting them at the bottom keeps them out of the way.

Please let us know about other useful ones on the Discord.

__NOTOC__

A table of contents is Added to pages with four or more headers, use NOTOC with two underscores either side to disable the TOC.

__NOEDITSECTION__

Use this to disable the edit icon next to all the headers. Recommended to add when you finish making the page.

Examples

Please look at pages' edit code to see some examples While the site is getting set up, it's a bit of a mess so if you find a page that doesn't look like this guide, ignore it and find another.
