For basic details on how to format text in the ORC wiki, please see [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext here]. To see an example page, see the [[ORC_Wiki_Template]].
=Content=
*Assign a Category or Categories to each page you create - this should be the name of the campaign e.g. <pre>Category: New World</pre>. You can view a list of available categories at [[Special:Categories]] or you can create your own by entering <pre>Category: Your choice</pre> at the top of the page. When you edit a page, a list of categories will also be displayed.
*Check your spelling and grammar and make sure others can read what you type, or you may find your content being edited by them!
*Try and create content-rich pages rather than stubs (where there is only a sentence or so).
*Don't create page links unnecessarily - especially if they go nowhere. Only create links when you need them. The website admin frequently checks for, and may remove, dead links.
*Leave a blank line between each paragraph.
*If you create the wiki entry in another product, preview the entry in the wiki before submitting.
*Make sure that any links you create actually work!
*Use meta tags to describe your page content - mention the game and some of the background but try and keep it to 256 characters or less
<pre><metadesc>A description of your campaign</metadesc></pre>
*Create unique game-specific pages. Consider other users of the wiki - dont create a page called Players or RPG campaign for something. Admins may rename a page and link if it isn't specific enough.

=Headings=
You can create headings using the "=" symbols e.g.
<pre>
=Heading 1=
==Heading 2==
===Heading 3=== etc.</pre>
The heading below is Heading 2.

=Uploading Files=
You can only upload image files at this point in time. Allowed filetypes are .png .gif .jpg, .fcw, and .jpeg. If you want to add other files please use the [http://www.orcedinburgh.co.uk/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=68 ORC Downloads page], then add a link.

You'll need to upload the files first using [[Special:Upload]], then point to that file in your wiki page e.g.

<nowiki>[[File:File.jpg]]</nowiki>

=Links=
*Links are case sensitive - creating a link using the <nowiki>[[ ]]</nowiki> brackets, means that links called <nowiki>[[Ashes of Freedom]]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[[ashes of freedom]]</nowiki> are two separate links!
*Links in red point to pages that have not been created yet. Always check your spelling.
*Links in blue point to existing pages.
*Hyperlinks to other pages outside the wiki should be enclosed in <nowiki>[ ]</nowiki> not <nowiki>[[ ]]</nowiki> e.g. a link to Bill's website called <nowiki>http://www.themandragora.com</nowiki> is written as <nowiki>[http://www.themandragora.com Bills website]</nowiki> and appears as [http://www.themandragora.com Bills website]

=Tables=
Tables are a bit tricky to set up at first, but you can create them using the Advanced option in the Editor.

=User: Pages=
When you create your first page it will also create a User Page for you. It's up to you whether you use this or not - see [[User Pages]].
