[[File:IconInspect10x.png|right|frameless|180x180px]]
A guide for all the small things and rules we have for editors among some tips & tricks!

==Style==

*Be straightforward to the facts. Do not be argumentative or opinionated
*Try to make information readable and easy to track. People don't want to decode complex information
*When using colored text try using the same shade of the color that has been used before for consistency if possible
*Try to be conscious of mobile viewers, they are the majority! You can see how mobile users view a page by scrolling to the bottom of a page and clicking "view mobile site"
*Look at other pages for other style choices for and beyond text
*If you make any mistakes or you aren't sure if you have, don't worry. The admins review every edit

==Grammar Rules==

*Should I use the Oxford/Serial Comma? '''Yes'''
*Should I use periods when ending bullet points? You can use periods when you have multiple sentences but it is recommended you '''end without one for your last sentence'''
*Can I use contractions? '''Yes''', except more informal ones like "ain't"

==Tips & Tricks==

*Using the source editor. If you want to make more specific changes you can use the source editor to see editing from a different perspective
**When editing simply click the "visual editor" button in the top right and click on "source editor" from the drop down
*How do you make <span style="color: #FFDE21;">colored</span> text?
**Go to the source editor and do this: <nowiki><span style="color: #[hexcode];">[word(s)]</span></nowiki>
**Example of creating red text: <nowiki><span style="color: #FF0000;">Editing is fun</span></nowiki>
*How do you add links to [[The Official Worldbox Wiki|pages]]?
**Simply use crtl+k and search for the specific page you want to. Or use <nowiki>[[page title|displayed text]]</nowiki> in the source editor
*What are redirect pages?
**Redirects are pages that bring users to a different page. It is commonly used when a two pages are merged but editors don't want to relink pages with the leftover page
**For example: The "Other Mages" page was merged with the "Mages" page so the [[Other Mages]] page was turned into a redirect to the Mages page
**Redirects are made by deleting all text on a page and replacing it with "#redirect <nowiki>[[page title]]</nowiki>"
*How can I prevent auto-formatting?
**You can go into the source editor and put &lt;nowiki&gt;[text]&lt;/nowiki&gt;
