This code can be used in the table start, row start, or cell start levels.
<hr>
If placed at the table start level, it will align all text within the table the way specified.
{| |-|Row 1||Row 1||Row 1|-|Row 2||Row 2||Row 2|-|Row 3||Row 3||Row 3|-|Row 4||Row 4||Row 4|}</pre> If placed at the row start level, it will only align the text within that row's cells the way specified. {| border="1style="text-align:center; width: 60%; |- |Row 1||Row 1||Row 1|-|Row 2||Row 2||Row 2height: 60%;"
|Row 3||Row 3||Row 3
|-
|Row 4||Row 4||Row 4
|}
<pre>
{| border="1"
|-
If placed at the cell level, it will only align that individual cell the way specified.

<pre>|-style="text-align:center;"</pre>
Note: When adding styling code such as this to the cell level, you need to add a vertical bar after your code, dividing it from the text your cell contains. For example, the second row in this code looks like this:
<pre>
|Row 2||style="text-align:center;"|Row 2||Row 2
</pre>
* As the Wurmpedia team works as a team, we want to run any large changes past other editors and WAs before taking any steps. Trying to look at similar pages before you correct any formatting.
* If you see wrong information, you can correct it yourself, but you may want to bring it up on Discord if it seems like a larger issue. Please don't assume that incorrect wiki information is brought on by malice. Don't engage in edit wars. Reverts are not (and shouldn't be) personal.
==Stylistic Guide==
* Please use [[wikipedia:list of common misspellings | correct spelling]] and do not use slang, [[wikipedia:texting language | 'txtspk']] or [[wikipedia:leet speak | 'leet speak']]. Example: 'You need to', not 'U need 2'.
* Spelling in Wurm is a strange and diverse mix of UK and US spelling. However, the Wurmpedia must conform to the game, not what we feel is the “right way”. So armour, but favorand liter. Check in game for other spellings.
**Feel free to post a bug report for mistakes found in spelling or grammar in game.
* If you aren't a spelling and grammar pro, use a spell checker. ([http://www.iespell.com/ IE] [http://www.svarteper.com/ff/aspellfox/ FF] [http://aspell.net/ Opera]).
* Excluding proper nouns, words in page titles should '''not''' be capitalized. Use "Small metal shield" or "small metal shield"<sup>[1]</sup>, and not "Small Metal Shield". Also, don't capitalize nouns in the middle of sentences, unless they're proper nouns.
**If you use a capitalized proper noun in a page title, you must also make a redirect page with only the first word capitalized (or add it to the daily edit Discord channel and a WA will do so.)
* 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 <br> 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.)
* Much of our crafting information has been moved into the Itembox template, including dye information. Please don't add crafting instructions to the main wiki article, unless you check in with other WAs/staff. If you need help with the itembox, ask in Discord.
* Don't create a table of add specific skill gains at each skill level with a specific tool. This would be better for a guide. Please make guides!**You may add specific gated skill levels to make an item, such as 60 carpentry required to make a large crate.
* Don't use dates for updates or links to posts.
* Don't use information taken from WU or speculation.
* We no longer add food recipes to the wiki, including links.
* Avoid personal bias when editing, including personal feelings on hardware. When in doubt, take it to the talk page.
* Do not post suggestions. They belong in the forums or on IRC - not here.
* If you need to add a picture, a WA can upload it for you. Don't use a link to an outside website.
* Everything on the Wurmpedia is a work in progress, including this handbook.
=== Breadcrumbs ===
===Itembox===
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.

===Redirects===
A redirect is a way to forward from one page to another, by placing #redirect <nowiki>[[New page]] </nowiki> in the body of a page, where New page is the proper page name that the user should be redirected to. Please use redirects sparingly as they can become confusing.
You may use a redirect in the following situations:
</pre>
{| border=1 style="text-align:center; width: 60%; height: 60%;"
|-
|Row 1||Row 1||Row 1
<pre>
|-
|Row 1||Row 1||Row 1
|-
