====== How to use the Wiki ======
<data !guide>
Description [wiki]: gets you started with this wiki.
Group: Intro
</data>

The Wiki is the place where relevant data is stored on FWURG. You can find things like [[rules:start]], In Character information and other such things.

===== The different parts of the Wiki =====

The Wiki has several parts. Here is a list and explanation of the parts.

== Rules ==

These are the game rules **NOT** Union laws and rules.

== In Character Information ==

These are pages like Character pages, Faction pages and other In Character (IC) pages.

== Guides ==

These are explanations on what things are and how you do them. Like this guide.

===== Using the wiki =====

Keep in mind that rules and guides are not known in character but are things for players and not for characters.

==== Making and editing a wiki page ====

I you want to make a new wiki page there are several thing you need to consider before you even open the wiki.
first you have to think what the page should contain. This is because you need to know in what name space the page needs to be placed.(usually the ic name space)
Then you need to check if this page does not already exist so you don overwrite someone else's page. Don't use to generic names!! This is to prevent confusion.

Keep in mind that the wiki does most of the layout. Like paragraphs, heading, etc. 

=== Links ===

You can link to other pages on the wiki and the rest of the internet. This is simple a internal link to a page is:
<code wiki>
[[namespace:pagename|some description]]
</code>
A link to [[guides:wiki|this]] page is:
<code wiki>
[[guides:wiki|this]]
</code>
If you leave out the description it will give the title of the page.

If you want to make a link to [[http://www.google.com|google]] it works as follows:
<code wiki>
[[URL|some description]]
</code>

=== Images ===

There are some rules on images that you use in the wiki.

All images must be in png format. Avatar images must to be 300 by 300 pixels.

If you want to add an image just press the image button.

{{:guides:image_in_page.png}}

This opens a new window that allows you to upload a new image.(2) Then you can select the image and it will be placed in the wiki. Click on the image you want and then press insert on the new pop-up(3) Keep in mind that you use the correct namespace.(1)

=== Datablock ===

datablocks are parts of the wiki that contain numeric information about things like jedi or planets.
