Formatting for This Wiki

This page will attempt to provide useful formatting advice and templates that can be used when building pages on this wiki.

Note that one of the most useful ways of understanding wiki formatting is to simply click the "Edit" button on a page, article, or category and to study the code. Wiki code is often very simple, and this particular site attempts to use the simplest coding methods whenever possible to avoid complex formatting.

Author Pages
Title: Name of the Author (as it appears on the Guild, so make sure to capture punctuation, middle initials, and all that as closely as possible)

Intro Paragraph: Simply state what the person does in relation to the Guild, and if they have any other industry credits.

Biography: Under this section header -- created by enclosing the word "Biography" between two sets of equals signs like this: == INSERT HEADER HERE == -- include a biography of the person. It likely should be written in 3rd person, and/or can be copied from their website or other "About Me"-style of source.

Include quoted text in blockquotes, which care created by creating code that looks like this, but deleting any spaces in between the brackets <>:

INSERT TEXT HERE< /blockquote >

For example:

"THIS IS WHAT A BLOCKQUOTE LOOKS LIKE; NOTICE IT IS INDENTED"

Products: Under this section header (created in the same way you create the Biography section header), include a bulleted list of all of the author's products. A bulleted list is created by simply placing an asterisk (*) followed by a space and then the text of the bullet.

It'll look like this:

[INSERT AUTHOR NAME] has authored the following for the Dungeon Masters Guild:
 * Product 1
 * Product 2

Use links directly to the product page on Dungeon Masters Guild, which are created when you place a URL link followed by a space and then the Name of the product inside brackets like these:

[url Name]

For example:

Old School Hacks Vol. 1: Hexcrawling – Wilderness Exploration and Random Encounters

If the author has other products, such as if they create content for the Cypher System or Cortex Community Content programs, or any number of others, follow the same basic format:

[INSERT AUTHOR NAME] has authored the following Cortex Community Content products:
 * Product 1
 * Product 2

And so on.
