Crossfire Wiki Style Guide

Some information about how to style pages, for consistency. No you wont be banned for breaking these.

Lists

As suggested by leaf (a.k.a. Rick Tanner) on the mailing list

I would like to start a discussion on when to use a Ordered (numbered) list vs Unordered list. Yes, this being picky on the details. ;-)

Generally speaking, any time a list of steps or content needs to be followed in a specific order - use a ordered (numbered, alphabetized, etc. list)

Ex:

  1. Launch your browser
  2. Click on File
  3. Click on Print

Anytime the context can be taken out of order and still make logical sense, use an unorderd list or bullet points.

Ex:

  • Humans
  • Elves
  • Troll

This is based off the Docbook guidelines, http://i18n.kde.org/docs/markup/lists.html

Naming pages that are about maps

If a page is about a certain map, the page should be located within a namespace named after the region(s) the map is located in. This should prevent confusion if two maps are similarly named, as an example: dragon guild in Scorn (/scorn/misc/dragon_guild) and the dragon guild in Navar (/navar_city/misc/dragon_guild).

For Example:

  • world:pupland - a page about pupland
  • world:pupland:lone_town - a page about Lone Town
  • world:pupland:lone_town:SOMEMAP - a map in Lone Town

If a map is part of a dungeon (or similarly sized map set), please try to keep everything about the dungeon (or map set) on one page.
