So, you want to add stuff to DotB-wiki. It's quite easy.

For one thing, by pressing the edit button you can always see the page source for the page you're looking at, that way you might get idea's how it works.

General tips

  • Wiki support it's own coding and HMTL so those with knowledge of HTML can go a long way.
  • There's a help button in the navigation area.
  • You can ask questions here, just press edit to add a message to the talk page.


To post a link to a page, simply add the name between brankets like this:

[[Gonzo Salvato]]

which turns out like this Gonzo Salvato.


To post a link to a page, but with a different name then the page is, add a | between the page and the name. Like this:

[[Gonzo Salvato|Mr. Aggro the World]]

which turns out like this Mr. Aggro the World.


We have a special interwiki reference nameplaces. As explained below.

interwiki: add interwiki tags for easy referencing other wiki's

Referencing guildwiki (http://www.guildwiki.org) pages: [[guildwiki:Curses|Curses]] [[gw:Necromancer|Necromancer]]

Referencing guildwiki (http://www.guildwiki.org) pages: Curses Necromancer

Note: both 'guildwiki' and 'gw' link to the same wiki

Referencing wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.com) pages: [[wikipedia:Guild Wars|Guild Wars]] [[w:Necromancer|Necromancer]]

Referencing wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.com) pages: Guild Wars Necromancer

Note: both 'wikipedia' and 'w' link to the same wiki

tag: sort

Added a new extension that creates a tag to sort lists: <sort>

see Sort

It works like this:

<sort>
all
your
base
are
belong
to
us
</sort>

Will produce this:

  • all
  • are
  • base
  • belong
  • to
  • us
  • your


Enjoy!
