Wiki Help

From FiranMUX

This set of web pages is a wiki, a self-contained web site that allows users to edit pages using a simple markup language right on their browser. This particular page provides pointers to additional pages that might help you find information on the wiki, edit wiki pages, or perform wiki maintenance tasks.

Feel free to read over the Wiki page itself, then see below!

If you need a wiki login name, please @request on the game with your desired name (preferably your IB name; not the name of your character!)

Finding Information

There are many ways to find information on the site.

• The Hierarchical Categories page organizes all of the information on the wiki into a tree of categories. Go to any category to find pages of a certain kind. This link is provided at the top of the Main Page, too.
• The What's Hot page is a brief list of the new topics we want you to see. The right side of Main Page shows these topics. Also notice the featured article at the bottom of that page.
• Use the Search feature in the left panel of the site. Note there are other useful features in the Toolbox (at left) and on the Special Pages page.
• The Recent Changes page tells you what pages have changed on the site recently.
• The All Pages page shows you a complete list of every page on the site.
• The New Pages page lists wiki pages created recently.
• The Categories page shows a list of the categories on the wiki.

Editing Pages

You need to have an account to edit pages on the wiki. We give out editor accounts to players in good standing on the game.

• Start by reading the Help page, linked in the Navigation box on the left side of every page.
• Don't be afraid to experiment. You can use your user page as a "sandbox"... click your login name at the top of the page to see your user page.
• The WikiClass for Editors page is a log of an online "class" about editing the wiki.
• There are several templates for use when creating pages. For character pages, please use the Character Page Template. For other pages, take a look at templates to see if anything fits what you wish to create!

Wiki Maintenance

These pages are for staff who perform regular maintenance on the site.

• Wiki Maintenance is a hub of information for wiki maintainers.
• The Security Model lists access control groups.
• The Wiki to Game Project will move all help and news topics to the wiki.
