Help creating a page

In order to make sure our wiki stays as clean and as nice as possible there are a few guidelines to ensure consistence on all pages. This will also help your page look prettier as well.

For the purpose of this page, take % % to mean [ ] and / \ to mean < > because actually using [ ] and < > will cause the code to be hidden when explaining some of the wiki commands.

• To upload an image, hit the "Upload File" link on the left side of the screen, then use the code %%Image:Imagename.extension|thumb|right|Description of Image.%%
• To have a line end and the next line start, type /br\ To have that happen multiple times, resulting in skipped lines, just type /br\ multiple times.
• Use * before each line to use bullets in your article and use # for automatic numbering (starting from 1)
• To make a word on your page link to an article with its name, write %%word being linked%% i.e. if I mentioned Pikachu on this page, i could write %%Pikachu%% to make it a link to the Pikachu page.
• A red link means the page does not exist yet. Click on it in order to make a page on that topic.
• Do not create links to pages that do not exist unless you plan on immediately making that page.
• Do not create pages that are not linked from any page. A good way to make a page is first create the link from another page, then create the page.
• There are 10 categories on the Slugwiki: Slugs, Slugfest Culture, Slugfest Government, Slugfest Places, Hall Feeds, Projects, MIT Culture, MIT Places, MIT Slang, and Class Material. When you create a page, it will probably somewhat fit into one of those topics. Add the article to that group by typing %%Category: CategoryName%% on the bottom of the page. To make this article in the Slugfest Culture group, I would type %%Category: Slugfest Culture%%.
