Ideas & Notes
- Mobile Readability
- Category etc (meta) info at bottom
- Shorten/pre-collapse header message box into shorter section
- Accessibility
- Table headers -> scope=
- General
- Don't make section headings into hyperlinks
- Template documentation: <syntaxhighlight lang="mediawiki"> & </syntaxhighlight>
- The wiki should display in the Vector (2022) skin. This allows collapsible elements on mobile. If you edit on mobile, I advise you avoid the default MediaWiki mobile skin, MinervaNeue, as it prevents collapsible elements from functioning.
- You can edit your preferred skin in: Sidebar/'3 bar' menu > Settings > (Heading: User Preferences) Open Preferences > Appearance > (Heading: Skin)

- Documentation:
<syntaxhighlight lang="mediawiki">CONTENT</syntaxhighlight>

Variable Naming[edit | hide]
For numbered variables, priority is taken by
- Anonymous inputs - see ID 10&20.
- - Position calculation ignores defined inputs - see ID 10.
- Latest inputs - see ID 11&22.
- - Lower priority than Anonymous, therefore cannot meaningfully occur simultaneously.
- Overridden inputs are treated as non-present variables.
For example, consider the template
- a
- hello friend
- b
- alphaHelp/ex/12beta
- c
- d
- delta{{{3}}}gamma
- e
/noinclude
which is {{{1}}}{{{2}}}
.
3In | Input | -> | Output |
---|---|---|---|
00 | |a|b | -> | ab |
01 | |a|1=b | -> | b2 |
02 | |a|2=b | -> | ab |
10 | |1=a|b | -> | b2 |
11 | |1=a|1=b | -> | b2 |
12 | |1=a|2=b | -> | ab |
20 | |2=a|b | -> | ba |
21 | |2=a|1=b | -> | ba |
22 | |2=a|2=b | -> | 1b |

The name of a template is case-sensitive excluding the first character.You make redirects for alternate capitalizations. For example, if a template is named "AdminAbbr", you can create a redirect named "Adminabbr". This way, the template can be called with either Template:AdminAbbr or Template:Adminabbr. If an editor prefers a mix of upper and lower case for clarity, they can use functions like lc or uc. For instance, instead of Template:CURRENTINTERNETTIME, they could use Template:CURRENTINTERNETTIMEBecause template names are interpreted in the same way to the names of other pages, underscores are replaced with spaces, and any text after a number sign (what would be a anchor in a standard link) is ignored.An underscore _ can be alternative to a blank space.
== Page Layout ===== Introduction ===
- Use them.
=== Collapsing Objects ===
- For clarity, navigation, and differentiation.
=== Rule Marks ===
----
use only to split sections.
=== Hidden - Editor View ===
- Category go at top.
- Use double return, not
<br><br>
where feasible. - Make your tables easy to read.
== Style Guide ===== Standards & Standardisation ===
- Usage on IDSW broadly follows standards shown in most Tutorials for MediaWiki.
- Edit Summary guidance is fairly simple but has it's own section.
- General Page Layout is standard and should be adhered to unless there is a good reason to deviate.
- Citations.
- Quality
- Be accurate.
- Information
- Be relevant.
- Writing
- Spell good.
- Additionally, see Regional Spelling.
- Clarity (ES)
- Include section or area edited.
- Be specific.
- Brevity (ES)
- Keep it concise.
- Examples (ES)
Using the "[Flag] [Scope] [Action] (Opt:[Audience]) [Reason]" format:
Example 1
"I changed stuff in the second table of the 'Horticultural Habits of Hedgehogs' section because it was incorrect."
- Becomes
"-U S3 T2 A"
Example 2
"I moved some lines and added styles to the table in the 'Automotive Actions of Aardvarks' section to make it easier to read in the editor view."
- Becomes
"-M S5.3 T1 EV C"
=== Diction ===
- Spelling
- Regional spelling
- - I am British, some words are spelt different to American English. Please google possible spelling mistakes first.
- In-game terms
- - If it's a proper noun in the game, that's how I'll spell it.

- A legend must exist where colour conveys information.
- - Readers should always know what colours are conveying.
- The legend should always be ABOVE the use of colour.
- - Readers should know what a colour means before presentation.
- To create a legend, use the
■
character. In the first cell, change the text colour of the square. Then use an adjacent cell for the descriptor.
