The Tekkit Classic Wiki:Editor Reference Guide

Hello, editors of the wiki! We now have active users! This is absolutely great.

This page is to give an idea of the editor guidelines. Here are a couple before we move on to page structuring:


 * Absolutely no vulgar language. Vulgar language on comments will get a ban for one week, on a mainspace page will get two.


 * When deleting vandalism, remember to check the history (click the arrow next to Edit) to check for previous vandalism as well.


 * Always remember to use the proper format, which is shown below:

Page Format
This is the proper page format for all mainspace content pages.

Description
This section is not actually called the description, it is simply the text at the top of the article describing its namesake. When starting an article, start like this: "The Exampleitem is (used to, made for doing, does, makes, etc.) A description of what the item or block does should be first. To make the name bold, simply add 3 apostrophes on each side of the words you want bolded. Also, it should contain an Item Template, depending on what type of item or block it is. All of the vanilla pages need an item template, as well as some of the basic mod pages, such as Rubber, Dark Matter, and Diamonds for a vanilla example.

Recipe
This is the first actual section, made with 2 equal signs on each side. This should contain a Crafting Table Template.

Usage
The Usage Section is for what an item is used to craft. Finished products, such as the Macerator page or the Quarry page, do not need a usage section, as they are not used in any higher recipes. Vanilla items such as Redstone and Iron have a long list in the Usage section, due to this being a mechanically based mod pack. The Usage section should show as follows:

(Item that is to be crafted)

Crafting Table Template

Example
Recycler

Video Tutorial
Video tutorials should always have a width of 222 pixels and a height of 142 pixels.

Navigation
This is a coming feature that will allow users to search through items using a nav box at the bottom of the page. If you would like to help, message one of the admins.
