General Rules

If you're unsure on how to do something specific or if you have any questions, ideas or suggestions, please contact one of the Administrators. Try to use the Source Editor for editing and please refrain from using the Visual Editor. Do not add new categories to pages unless specified in the guidelines.

Your preferred editor can be chosen in Special:Preferences ➔ Editing ➔ Editor ➔ Preferred editor.

Linking

Wikitext	Result
When linking to another page in the wiki, instead of using the entire URL as the link, use double brackets and simply type the name of the page. For example, the following code in the Source Editor... [[Tempest Break]] ...will appear as shown on the right. When using the Visual Editor, typing in the first pair of brackets will automatically create a pop-up window, which lets you type in the page name, tell you if the page link is valid or not, and allow you to visit the linked page directly from the editor.	Tempest Break
You can also edit the text for the displayed link, typing the following code in the Source Editor... [[Tempest Break|Tempest Break Edit]] ...will still point to the Tempest Break page but the text displayed will be different.	Tempest Break Edit

1. Linking / heading and sub-heading

Wikitext	Result
Any heading or sub-heading in a page can be linked by adding a # at the end of the page name and typing in the full header name, so the following: [[Tempest Break#Tags]] will appear as Tempest Break#Tags and browse directly to the specific page subheading.	Tempest Break#Tags
You can then simply delete the extra text as shown in the previous section like this: [[Tempest Break#Tags|Tempest Break]]	Tempest Break

2. Linking / Javascript Tooltips

Wikitext	Result
This wiki also implements javascript tooltips. If you want to generate a link with a tooltip that shows a preview of informations and / or images on the page you're trying to visit the wikitext you need to use is this: {{Mod Tooltip|Tempest Break}}	Tempest Break
{{Mod Tooltip|Assault}}	Assault
{{Mod Tooltip|Railgun}}	Railgun
{{Mod Tooltip|Velocity}}	Velocity
{{Mod Tooltip|Celestial}}	Celestial
{{Mod Tooltip|Mayhem}}	Mayhem

Ships, Weapons, Shields, Mods, Enemy, Boss and Challenge Modes are the currently 7 supported categories that have available tooltips.
