It's important for Wiki management to align with standard naming conventions in order to organize and sort pages into their correct locations.

Please make sure that when creating a new guide, always format it as "Guides:Example_Name". The colon tells the wiki that these pages belong to the Guides namespace, and this is where all guides will be part of as they are created.

== Templates and What They Do ==
== Templates and What They Do ==
Templates are reusable page components that you “transclude” (which is a fancy word for "insert directly into a page") into another page. This lets you reuse complex formatting with simple parameters.
Templates are reusable page pieces you can drop into any page. They save time by handling the fancy formatting for you—you just fill in the fields.
 
=== Option 1: Visual Editor (recommended) ===
Use this if you prefer forms and buttons.
 
[[File:Edit Template Example.png|center|600px|alt=Editing a template in Visual Editor]]
 
'''To insert a new template'''
# Click '''Edit''' at the top of the page (not “Edit source”).
# In the toolbar, choose '''Insert > Template''' (puzzle-piece icon).
# Search for the template name (for example, '''ClassInfoBox'''), then click '''Add template'''.
# A form opens with fields, examples, and short descriptions. Fill in what you know.
# Click '''Insert''' (or '''Apply changes'''), then '''Publish changes'''.
 
'''To edit an existing template on the page'''
# In Visual Editor, double-click the template table/box, or click the small '''Edit''' button on it.
# Update any fields you want.
# Click '''Apply changes''', then '''Publish changes'''.
 
''You can leave fields blank as most templates hide empty info automatically.''
 
----
 
=== Option 2: Edit Source (advanced) ===
Use this if you like wikitext.


A basic insert looks like this:
A basic insert looks like this:
  <nowiki>{{Example Insert
  <nowiki>
{{Example Insert
| Example Parameter = Example Value
| Example Parameter = Example Value
}} </nowiki>
}}
</nowiki>


This will check for a template page called "Example Insert", and then you can fill in all the values. When you "Save changes" the insert transforms into the template, and automatically fills out all the empty fields.
When you save, the wiki turns that block into the styled template.


It allows the creation of fancy tables like this, without any programming skills.
You can switch between editors any time:
* In Visual Editor: you can switch in the menu at the top.
* In Source Editor: click the normal '''Edit''' tab next time.


Example:
'''Example (source)'''
 
  <nowiki>
  <nowiki>{{ClassInfoBox
{{ClassInfoBox
| Role = Melee <br> Poison
| Role   = Melee <br> Poison
| Weapons = Dagger
| Weapons = Dagger
| STR = 9
| STR = 9  
| AGI = 12
| AGI = 12  
| VIT = 1
| VIT = 1
| INT = 1
| INT = 1  
| DEX = 9
| DEX = 9
| LUK = 1
| LUK = 1
}}
}}
  </nowiki>
  </nowiki>
→
 
'''Result'''
 
Look at the far right, and now you can see the infobox that populates on each class page.
{{ClassInfoBox
{{ClassInfoBox
| Role = Melee <br> Poison
| Role   = Melee <br> Poison
| Weapons = Dagger
| Weapons = Dagger
| STR = 9
| STR = 9 | AGI = 12 | VIT = 1
| AGI = 12
| INT = 1 | DEX = 9 | LUK = 1
| VIT = 1
| INT = 1
| DEX = 9
| LUK = 1
}}
}}


 
'''Tips'''
 
* Using the correct names for things is important, as some fields will try to do fancy things with the text. For example, it may try to link to the database.
You can also use the normal edit function to directly edit a table. Simply doubleclick on any inserted template, and a popup box will show up that will let you enter in all the individual fields:
* Use <nowiki><br/></nowiki> to add a new line inside a field. This will break up the text, making it look cleaner.
 
* If a link shows red, the page title might be misspelled or missing—double-check.

This section explains how to approach different kinds of guides.
 
=== Class Build Guides ===
Class build guides focus on a core mechanic or unique playstyle for a class. They offer alternative ways to play and add variety to the game.
 
Create your build in the appropriate class page:
* [[Guides:Warrior Builds]]
* [[Guides:Knight Builds]]
* [[Guides:Rogue Builds]]
* [[Guides:Scout Builds]]
* [[Guides:Mage Builds]]
* [[Guides:Summoner Builds]]
* [[Guides:Acolyte Builds]]
 
Add your guide link there, then open it and start editing.


Here are two ready-to-use templates (click to expand, copy the contents):
You can link an item directly from the database by using a special WikiLink called an external link.


<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%; max-width:650px; overflow:auto;">
In order to find items, please use the following link to directly access the database: [https://spiritvale.info/ https://spiritvale.info/]
