no edit summary
For items with only one possible size (same weight, no combine), note the number of items needed with the suffix 'x', e.g. "15x [[stone brick]]". If the item can be reduced in weight (e.g. [[shaft]]), also include the minimum weight possible for use. For other items specify the total weight needed and avoid listing the "normal" number of items used.
 
If the craft has separate 'create' and 'continue' phases, it may be useful to specify the materials separately as well. Use case: The create step consumes an entire item regardless of weight, while continue only subtracts a specific weight amount per step.
For the English portion of the wiki, please use a decimal point (period) when referring to fractional numbers. Always specify weights with two decimal places. This avoids ambiguity between "item has integer weight" and "didn't bother to check exact weight".

==Previewing Your Changes==

Previewing your changes before hitting the "Save page" button is a very important step, especially when you're first starting out. Not only will it help prevent the need to edit the same thing multiple times, either by yourself or someone else, but it also helps give you an idea of what it will look like when you're finished, especially if you're making layout changes. It also is a great way for you to test if something you are unsure of will work the way you hoped it would.
For example, if you look at the picture above to the line that says "Link to the Wurm online forums", you'll see that the first option with a forum link looks kind of silly, as it is just a number 1 in brackets. The second one is much more appealing since it contains some clickable text. You may also find that you put an improper article name to link to, which will result in a red link such as:
