==Wiki Formatting==
<big>'''Specfic Page Hints'''</big>


===Headings===
[[Help:Clan Pages|Clan Pages]]<br>
 
[[Help:Level Pages|Level Pages]]<br>
To use headings you use a certain amount of (=)s. To do a standard heading use 2 =. Then a sub heading would be 3 = and you can keep getting smaller.
[[Help:Mappack Pages|Mappack Pages]]<br>
 
[[:Category:Tutorials|Tutorials]]<br>
<pre><nowiki>==Heading 1==</nowiki></pre>
|}
 
Some of the common formatting is a easy button at the top of editing page. For Example, Bold, Italic, Wiki Link, External Link, Level 2 Headline, Image. For more information about formatting text see '''link to be added'''
 
===Images===
 
You can add a centred image by putting <pre><nowiki><center>[[Image:Firewarrior.png|left|thumb|100px|image caption]]</center></nowiki></pre> in the edited text. Save the page, then click the link to upload the image. For more information, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial Picture tutorial].
 
===External Links===
 
To link to links not used in this wiki use: <pre><nowiki>[http://www.tedtycoon.co.uk Ted's Sites]</nowiki></pre>  
 
==What makes a good Article==
 
* When making an article remember not to include yourself as first person. This means do not put I. You must not post your opinions or use the Wiki to have arguments, but there is room to describe various developments and the approaches taken by their developers.
 
* Link all the keywords to their articles. Example if i included Firewarrior in one of my articles i can put <pre><nowiki>[[Firewarrior]]</nowiki></pre> so that it links to that article. If you want to put Firewarriors, you use <pre><nowiki>[[Firewarrior]]s or [[Firewarrior|Firewarriors]]</nowiki></pre>
 
==What Shall I Make??==
 
Good ideas can be anything. You can write an article about any object, strategy or phrase, just make sure you have enough to write about it. Also we are not trying to remake the Populous Help, if you can try add some tips and tricks on the article. People can submit [[Wanted Pages]] so that creaters have enough ideas.
 
===User Pages===
 
You can also create your own user pages. This is only good if you are mentioned in articles like a popular person would be. To link a user's name in an article use: <pre><nowiki>[[user:TedTycoon|TedTycoon]]</nowiki></pre>
