Templates
- Main Article: Templates
There are templates for characters, items, places, and races. If none of these templates applies to a page, then the page will have to be formated by a user. You may change the templates, but test your modifications on a sandbox (User:Yourname/sandbox) before overwriting existing templates. If you need to change or add something, add it to the page you are working on, not the hard copy of the templates that everyone uses.
Tags
- Main Article: Tag List
Tags can be added to any page or section when deemed necessary. Please remember that some tags are for staff use only. A list of tags can be found here.
To use a tag, simply write the tag code anywhere in the article
Discussion Pages
You might notice the Discussion tab at the top of a page. Here you can leave notes about changes you made, or are planning to make. On larger articles, there will generally be a discussion about the adding and removing of large sections, so make sure to check the discussion page before editing.
Also, when leaving a comment, remember to finish with four tiles (--~~~~). This code will add your name (or i.p. address if you aren't logged in or registered), and the time of posting. If you are not registered, you are welcome to add your nickname after you sign.
