Help:Contents

Welcome to the help page. This will serve as a helpful list of commands and syntax for the wiki, as well as providing other general instructions. If you need further help, please visit the wiki IRC channel on irc.forestnet.org on channel #2238wiki.

Wiki Syntax

• Surrounding text with three apostrophes will make '''boldface''' appear as boldface.
• Surrounding text with two apostrophes will make italicized appear as italicized.
• Surrounding text with <u> and </u> will make <u>underlined</u> appear as underlined.
• Surrounding text with <s> and </s> will make <s>strikeout</s> appear as strikeout.
• Using the tag <br> will create a
  manual line break.
• Beginning a line with one asterisk * creates a bullet.
  • Using two stars ** at the beginning of a line will create an indented bullet, like in this line.

Links

• Surrounding text with brackets will create a link inside the wiki, so [[Small Guns]] becomes a link to the small guns page at Small Guns.
• Using brackets again, posting an outside link inside the brackets, followed by a space, followed by a title, will create a link to another webpage. [[http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia]] becomes a link to the page http://www.wikipedia.org with the title 'Wikipedia'. [Wikipedia]. This can also be done with links inside the wiki like link, but the name of the page and the title of the link must be separated by a |.
• Links can also be created to subheadings of pages, for example [[Boneyard#Adytum]] links to the Adytum section of the Boneyard page in Boneyard#Adytum.

Redirects

• A redirect is a code that automatically links the user to one page when visiting another. For example, if .223 was searched for in this wiki, the page .223 has a redirect that automatically loads .223 FMJ. To create a redirect, use the code

#REDIRECT [[page]]

where page is the destination.
