-A lot of what I've written here so far is way too academic, hopefully that can change. I don't actually care what you write about or how formally you do it; do whatever you want. The only thing strictly off-limits is doxxing. That includes posting real names, IRL locations more precise than a country, and IRL pictures, as well as posting pictures of trains or something about a jester. The only exception is in regards to somebody like [[wolfdevon|Devon]] who has a well-attested identity, so... yeah, basically just Devon.+A lot of what I (the admin) have written here so far is way too academic, hopefully that can change.

-A couple things I want to point to specifically are the [[wiki:syntax#sectioning|headings]] and [[wiki:syntax#media_files|image links]]. For headings, I always start my articles with six ='s, for example, ''%%====== Page Title ======%%'', to write the article name with the biggest font size, and then, if the article is long enough to have subsections, go down to five ='s, then four, etc. So, you should follow that convention if you care about consistency. For image links, notice how spaces before or after the filename affects its location. Kinda quirky. [[wiki:syntax#tables|Tables]] work the same way. Also, you pretty much always need to use "?" to resize the image (as in, ''%%{{image.png?250}}%%'' for 250px wide), or it will take up the whole page. Also also, you can see the images currently on the site in the [[https://intcraft.wiki/article_guidelines?do=media&ns=|Media Manager]] (upper right), and you can upload new ones there, too.+A couple things I want to point to specifically are the [[wiki:syntax#sectioning|headings]] and [[wiki:syntax#media_files|image links]].

 I also have some extensions installed here to give us more features. This is some advanced shit. The most important of these is called [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:wrap|Wrap]], which basically allows us to split pages into multiple elements (such as two columns). It has some more autistic syntax (just linked it) but you shouldn't need to worry about it unless you're doing something crazy. I also have some extensions installed here to give us more features.

-We also have [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:imagebox|ImageBox]], which lets us have captioned Wikipedia-style images, by using extra ['s like this: ''%%[{{ImagePath|Caption}}]%%''. Very simple. See [[intcraft-chan|/int/craft-chan]] for an example. If you do this, use ?250 to keep a consistent 250px wide.+We also have [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:imagebox|ImageBox]], which lets us have captioned Wikipedia-style images, by using extra ['s like this: ''%%[{{image.png?280|Caption}}]%%''.

-We also have [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:tablewidth|Table Width]] (you'll see why in a sec), [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:wrapadd|Wrap Plus]], and [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:pageredirect|Page Redirect]]. To redirect to a page, make a blank article with the text ''%%~~REDIRECT>:page~~%%''. Be careful when doing this though, as once you create a redirect, you can't undo it (only I can). By the way, I already created redirects for all the iteration articles (wow!) so you can create a link to [[i33]] or [[35.0]], and the links will resolve the correct place.+We also have [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:tablewidth|Table Width]] (you'll see why later), [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:wrapadd|Wrap Plus]], [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:pageredirect|Page Redirect]], and [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:toctweak|TocTweak]].
  
 Most of this is not really necessary to know. You should find that writing and page formatting is pretty straight-forward. But you were autistic enough to come to this website and click the link to this page anyway, so now you know all the extra shit. Most of this is not really necessary to know.

 Notes on naming convention: I generally prefer to use mineman usernames rather than Discord tranny names for player pages, except in cases where for whatever reason the player is usually not referred to by any one username (like [[Jonathan]]). I also try to use a proper name for iteration articles when possible (but the redirects mentioned earlier also work). Using slashes in the article names kinda fucks things up, so avoid using them. For example, the homepage is just ''intcraft.wiki/intcraft'' rather than ''%%intcraft.wiki//int/craft%%''. Notes on naming convention: I generally prefer to use mineman usernames rather than Discord tranny names for player pages, except in cases where for whatever reason the player is usually not referred to by any one username (like [[Jonathan]]).

-After you make an article, remember to link it on the homepage under the proper category (!!!).+==== Page redirects ==== 
 + 
 +Like Wikipedia, a redirect is a page which automatically sends visitors to another page, usually an article or section of an article. For example, [[Doneions]] redirects to [[Onions]]. 
 + 
 +To create a redirect, make a blank article with the text ''%%~~REDIRECT>:page~~%%'', with ''page'' being the page you want to redirect to. Be careful when doing this though, as once you create a redirect, you can't undo it (only I can). By the way, I already created redirects for all the iteration articles (wow!) so you can create a link to [[i34]] or [[34.0]], and the links will resolve the correct place. 
 + 
 +<WRAP center round tip 60%> 
 +If you make a new article, link it on the homepage in the proper place! We want to have EVERY page listed there, for ease of navigation.

 +==== Old Wikipedia-style Table of Contents ====
 +
 +Infoboxes break the default upper-right corner Table of Contents location. To insert an in-body Table of Contents, simply put this after your opening paragraphs:
 +
 +<code>
 +~~NOTOC~~
 +{{INLINETOC 2-5 width18}}\\
 +</code>
 +
 +Note: You don't need ''~''''~NOTOC~~'' if you already have it at the top of the page (all the templates start with it at the top).
 +
 +Note 2: This fucks up the Preview, but only the Preview. The published page will have only one TOC if you do it right.
