So, you want to add stuff to DotB-wiki. Here's how:

Pressing the edit tab above let's you see the source of a page. Thus seeing how it has been made and enabling you to "borrow" the code from that page. So if you want to add a character, just go to any of the already made characters (as seen below on this page. And copy that text in the page you want to create yourself, then replace the information by your own information and you're good to go.

To create a page you can simply add the name of the page (Wiki's are case-sensitive) in the search box and press "go", if the page doesn't excist yet you will get a link saying "create this page" besides the results your search generated.

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.


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!
