Re:WoWWiki Editing

I'm a developer myself and wiki editing is just something I've learned over time. The first time I set out to understand a template, I was definitely very confused by the sea of curly brackets. But once I figured out a piece here and there, (from a combination of long stares and googling) it just started to come together.

The basic things I have learned to do (and I'm sure there is much more):

• Basic formatting (bold, italics, strikethrough, tables, css in tables, code, <pre>, nowiki, using span and div tags, non-breaking space as well)
• Use an unnamed parameter {{{1}}}
• Use a named parameter {{{name}}}
• Handle defaults for parameters {{{1|default}}}
• Includeonly, onlyinclude, noinclude
• If / Else, If equals, Switch Case

Any of those things I can help you with. But the API's you are probably really wanting to just start reading are here:

• ParserFunctions - Control & flow
• Magic Words - Special tags and constants
• Templates - Basic FAQ, like how to work parameters and inheritance

There are a lot of tricks (mostly the magic words) that I just don't understand. And I'm not sure exactly which extensions are installed on this wiki, but so far everything I've tried has worked on wowwiki (I wish I could say the same for the wiki I use at work). The best thing you can do is just try stuff out in the sandbox.

Really the fanciest thing I worked on is probably {{Achievementbox}}. I had a lot of help, and I studied similar templates for a long time, but that was a huge learning experience for me. After it was finished, someone else added the AJAX integration for the mouseovers, but I was definitely driving the effort. And I was thrilled when I got some feedback from the community.

So hopefully you have way too much information, and that can get you started in the right direction. Best of luck! And maybe a good place to start playing is your user page - it's so empty! Maybe you could add some nice user templates. -Howbizr (talk) 07:15, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

I must confess, I make no effort to test in IE. I figure if it's bothering some IE users, let them take the time to fix the code. I try to use only wiki constructs if possible, but if I have to use a div or a span, I use very simple styling that should be supported in IE 7 or higher (but again, I don't actually verify).

As for 3 columns, I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean the {{col-3}} template? But most achievements use {{col-2}}, if any columns are used at all. This achievement for example is only using 2. -Howbizr (talk) 22:15, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
