We have completely revamped the markup used on the wiki, forums, and just about everywhere else. Everything is based off of MediaWiki markup. We will hopefully be including a WYSIWYG editor within the next week to make editing and posting a lot easier for beginners. Below are the changes to the mediawiki syntax.
- The namespaces are portals shortnames (e.g. [[wiki:page]], [[wow:page]]) -- wiki is the current portal
- The image namespace does not exist, but instead has been replaced with an <image> tag -- <image>id</image> (see below for full documentation)
- Templates are currently not functioning
- Categories are not available
- The url namespacing is a tree -- /wiki/classes/warrior/spells/ puts the "Spells" page inside of Warrior, which is inside of Classes. This automatically creates the breadcrumb navigation. This is our replacement to categories.
<image> tag
The wiki [[Image:]] namespace has been replaced with an <image> tag. The text inside of the tag should be the ID from the image gallery.
Parameters:
- width -- the width the image should be shown in (does not resample the image); default is ""
- type -- the view type for the image, options are full, thumb, and default; default is "default"
- alt -- the text to show for the caption of the image; default is the name of the image
- align -- the side on which the image should be aligned, options are left and right; default is ""
Example:
<item> tag
The <item> tag is used to call a link (with a mouseover tooltip) or a detailed tooltip for an item from a game database. The text inside of the tag should be the ID from the database.
Parameters:
- type -- the view type for the item, options are tooltip and default; default is "default"
- ns -- the namespace (portal) for the database; current values are vg and wow; defaults to whichever site you're on (or none if you're not on one of these portals)
Example:
<file> tag
The <file> tag is used to call a link (with a mouseover tooltip) or a detailed tooltip for a file the downloads list. The text inside of the tag should be the ID from the database.
Parameters:
- type -- the view type for the file, options are tooltip and default; default is "default"
Example:
@import url('v5/styles/core/115-tooltips.css?');
