→‎Stylistic Guide: First version of sequence of sections
* Don't use underscores in links - you don't need them! Example: <nowiki>[[</nowiki><font style="background:#E6FFE6;">item creation</font><nowiki>]]</nowiki> is equivalent to <nowiki>[[</nowiki><font style="background:#E6FFE6;">item_creation</font><nowiki>]]</nowiki>, and looks twice as neat.
* Use wikitext instead of HTML when possible. Example: * lists instead of &lt;br&gt; lists
* Try to limit use of colored text for colorblind accessibility.
* Add descriptions to new pictures. (If you need help on this, just ask!)
* Use the [[Special:Categories|categories]] and [[:Category:Template|templates]] when appropriate. Look at a similar page and see what it uses for hints.
* Use <nowiki>[[links]]</nowiki> when referring to other pages (refrain from linking the same page multiple times in the same article.)
We have moved much of the information on crafting into the itembox template, including dye information. Please don’t add crafting instructions to the main article. If you need assistance with the template, ask in the Discord.
 
=== Sections (sequence of) ===
Pages in the main namespace should follow this general sequence of sections within the page:
 
'''<nowiki>== Description ==</nowiki>'''

'''<nowiki>== Usage ==</nowiki>'''
 
{{event|inline|Info about the normal usage of the item.}}
 
 
'''<nowiki>== Creation ==</nowiki>'''
 
{{event|inline|For special information about creation, besides what is already mentioned in the itembox.}}
 
 
'''<nowiki>== Improving ==</nowiki>''':
 
{{event|inline|Special considerations about improving, besides what is already mentioned in the itembox}}
 
 
'''<nowiki>== Skins applicable ==</nowiki>'''
 
{{event|inline|List of skins that can be applied to the item.}}
 
 
'''<nowiki>== Skills and characteristics == </nowiki>'''

NOTE: Only include the above sections when applicable.
 
If other sections are relevant, put those in where it makes sense.
 
==Translations==
Officially, the Wurmpedia is only in English. Please refrain from creating non-English pages.
 
That being said, we are starting to work on translations of [[Your_first_days_in_Wurm_Online]] ONLY. This is limited and will be subject to its own set of rules, while we adjust.
==Namespaces==
