Common Editing Protocol
Wiki Editing
Here are some basic wiki editing tips:
- Headings can be made by surrounding text with equal signs ('=') the more equal signs used the smaller the heading (e.g "
=== hi ===" vs "== hi ==", the latter would be a bigger heading).
*makes bullet lists.
#makes numbered lists.
[[foo|bar]]makes a wiki link to page foo while displaying bar.
[http://example.com example]makes an external link to example.com while displaying example.
'''bold'''for bold.
''italics''for italics.
'''''bold italics'''''for bold italics.
- Putting
#REDIRECT [[<page name>]]as the only line in a page makes it redirect to <page name> when searched, e.g. putting#REDIRECT [[overall difficulty]]for a page called od.
[[wikipedia:osu!]]makes a wikipedia link to the article specified. Example: wikipedia:osu!
Categories
When adding a new page to the wiki, categorizing it properly is essential.
To do so, simply add the following to the bottom of your pages when editing them:
[[Category: Beatmapping]]
And so on, replacing Beatmapping with the category that your article is most relevant to. If your article fits under more than one category - simply include the other categories using the same code on the line beneath. For example:
[[Category: Beatmapping]] [[Category: Taiko]]
This would categorize a page as both related to Beatmapping and Taiko.
Screenshots
- When making screenshots, try to use jpg for gameplay/informative images and png for skin elements/everything else.
- When making gameplay screenshots, they must be with the default skin whenever possible (In the case of Taiko screenshots (Gameplay only), the Taiko skin can be used instead).
- The game screenshots can be up to 1280 x 960 for standard screenshots and 1440 x 900 for widescreen screenshots.
Articles in Languages Other Than English
Make the page prefixed with the common language code used for your language, so for example:
ZH:Mapping for the Chinese version of the Mapping article
or
RU:Modding for the Russian version of the Modding article
Please categorize them based on languages too, [[Category:Chinese]] [[Category:Russian]] and so on.
If you are translating into another language, please add your language to the Other Languages page! There's already a few languages and counting, just add yours right at the end of the languages currently present!
Please use templates
Templates are a common way on Wikipedia in order to use a predefined text to show something. Namely Template:Stub is used to show that an article is a "Stub" and that it is considered a short article that needs more information. In order to use it, simply use the code {{Insert Template name here}} so if I wanted to make this article a stub, it would be {{Stub}} and the output would be this.
