O HAI DER :3

Hi there!

Hi RoyalArchos. I wanted to welcome you to the wiki community. Regardless of what you do here, it's always nice to have another face.

I noticed you created a guide. It's very interesting to me, but I noticed at the bottom you wanted formatting tips. I could lend you a hand and give you some tips:


  • Tables work wonders for basically anything, even if you don't want that table 'look' that most tables have. There's some examples of that on my user page, as well as here.
  • To make a guide more appealing, you can also use images, be it in-game screenshots or images that already exist here (such as silver ore, etc). Try to look around and see what cool images you can include. If you need help with placement, send me a message and I'll see if I can help you out.
  • Horizontal lines, while they may look good in the format you have now, aren't usually the answer.
  • A little wiki tip that some may not know: You can move the Table of Contents box, or even remove it completely. If you want it on the right, use __TOCright__; same goes for left and center. You can also remove it with __noTOC__.


Hope that helps! Kitten Tale 10:26, 28 September 2011 (CDT)


Hi Kitten Tale :)

I really appreciate your feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed my guide. I am thinking of entering some pictures myself, but I haven't got the time to find for them(school work. Psch.). As for the tables thing.... I think is I don't know how to make one ._. I've seen your link(thanks), and I thought it would be a good idea to put it in too. Maybe you can teach me how? I'll really appreciate the help if you do :) Anyways, thanks and I'll try to improve my guide, then later maybe make a new guide/page. --RoyalArchos 08:00, 29 September 2011 (CDT)

Well, first thing's first: you can always respond to another post, by using colons (:). For each additional message, just add another one. Once it gets very long, you can start back at zero colons and continue.
As for tables, there are two different ways to make them (both of which are completely fine): HTML style and Wiki style.
For HTML, you start every table with <table>, followed by a row (<tr>), and then a cell (<td>). Then you close each with the applicable ending tag (</td>, </tr>, </table>...).
Your typical table would look like this, in code:
<table>
<tr>
<td>Words go here</td>
</tr>
</table>
Wiki style is the same way, but much more simplified:
{|
|-
| Words go here
|}
In this case, the only thing you have to close is the table. (To add a header in tables in wiki style, use the exclamation mark (!), followed by a new row (|-). Kitten Tale 11:01, 29 September 2011 (CDT)
Wow o.o I think I may need some practice first before I'm able to make a good table XD Anyways thanks for your help, I'll try to make my guide better, thanks :) --RoyalArchos 07:02, 30 September 2011 (CDT)
Feel free to make a sandbox page for yourself if you need a test space (I recommend making it at User:RoyalArchos/Sandbox). Kitten Tale 11:31, 30 September 2011 (CDT)
Thanks for all your help, Kitten Tale :) The table should be done by next week or so :)
