SS14:Formatting

Wait, What?

you're probably wondering what this page is for, or what "formatting" even means. Well, in short, this page contains different strings of boiler-plate wiki "code" for you to easily copy/paste into your articles without going through the hassle of writing them yourself, as well as instructions for more advanced formatting.

Basics

Creating a new page

Before we begin writing a page, we need to actually make one first. To do this, simply log into the wiki using your SS14 account, and type something in the search bar that doesn't have a page named after it. If you do, something like this should appear:

If you'd like to begin a new page with that name, simply click the red text, and presto! You've just make a new wiki page. Now, we can finally get to writing it.

Headings

If you've read to this point, you've already read through 3 separate headings. Headings are simply ways of categorizing different sections of an article, and will appear on a list near the top of the page like so:

This list is created automatically, and orders the headings by the order they appear on the page; headings that appear near the top of the page will be the first on the list, and vice versa.

There are 5 different "levels" of heading, each meant to convey a certain amount of specificity in a topic. For instance, the R&D page contains a level 1 "Equipment" heading, with several level 2 headings below it displaying the specific tools science has access to.

There are two ways to write a heading. The first is by using the wiki-integrated heading tool, which will give you a header with example text inside it. The other way is to do it manually. Both methods will have you end up with something like this:
