Caution: This page needs updating!
This page severely needs an update, either to its visuals or its content.The information on this page might not be accurate or up-to-date, so please take caution when using it.
If you would like to help the Istaria Wiki by updating this page, please be sure to view what templates are in use on our site, and check similar pages to reference off of and keep things uniform. Thank you!
What Categories Should I Use?[]
Where practical, use a single category to define the page. You don't need to use categories to define (for example) an area a quest is available for. This is done using the Semantic Wiki Extensions. Use the following categories depending on the page you are creating.
| Page Type | Category |
|---|---|
| an NPC | NPC |
| a Quest | Quests |
| a Named Creature | Named Creature |
| a School | School |
What are Semantic Wiki Extensions?[]
Semantic wiki extensions allow you to add metadata (data about data) to a page. For example: you create a page for the a quest. You add a category of "Quests" and you add the following metadata using semantic wiki extensions:
level = 10 school = Warrior
Semantic wiki extensions allow you to create a dynamic list of pages based on a level range (1-20 for example), a school requirement (Warrior), or a combination (all Warrior quests with a level range of 1-20). These lists are dynamically updated, so when you add a new quest it will be included in any list on the site that matches your query.
How can I Use Semantic Wiki Extensions[]
All the templates now use Semantic Wiki for their variables. If you use one of the templates and fill in the variables, the templates will automatically populate the Istarian Semantic Wiki properties.
