Editing Guide

This Editing Guide is for the Horizon Kingdoms, helping the Lore Masters and community members quickly create dynamic article pages to expand the wiki's lore. To create a new page click on the page icon in the top right corner of the wiki next to the page count.

## Linking

Links help keep the pages organized and create a network between pages of matching topics.

#### Basic Link

A basic link turns a string of characters into a link to another page in the wiki. To create one put double brackets around the text you want to make into a link:

[[This is a Link]]

Output:

This is a Link

You can also highlight the text and click the Link icon.

#### Renamed Link

You can change the text inside a link by

[[This is a Link|The WAS a Link]]

Output:

The Was a Link

You can also highlight the text and click the Link icon.

#### Category Link

A category link places a page into a list of other pages in the same category.

##### Basic Category Link

You can insert a Category Link into a page or a template by typing in the source code:

[[Category:This is a Category]]

Or using the category list in the article footer.

##### Section Header Link

A Section Header Link can direct the reader to a section on a page. You add a # followed by the exact section name. You can even rename the link to a new label.

[[Valencion, The Sacred Island#The Second Valencion Crusade, 87e5-99e5|Second Valencion Crusade]]

Second Valencion Crusade

##### Category Link, Forced Alphabetizing

[[Category:This is a Category|This is NOT a Category]]

## Infoboxes

### Current Status

Infoboxes are a type of template that you can insert into your pages for a quick, stylized element of basic information. You can insert them using Insert<Infobox<Select the Infobox Template you want to use.

### Fields

Each Infobox has custom fields for the type of article the infobox is meant for. Each field that is filled will be added to the infobox, and each blank field will not show on the final displayed box.

#### Current Status

Many infoboxes have a "Current Status" field, this is a place for a quick one sentence statement of the status of your subject. This is useful so if other community members wish to use the subject in their own game they can see the status and know if the subject can canonically be used and how.

#### Categories

Some infobox templates have been coded so that once added they will automatically add your page to a matching category. For instance, when you use the Player Character infobox, the page is automatically added to the Category:Player Characters.

## Hierarchy: Heading

Hierarchy is how to help visually breakdown your pages into distinct sections. After you add a certain amount of headers to a page, Wikia automatically adds a Contents box with quick links to each article's start.

### Hierarchy: Sub-heading 1

#### Hierarchy: Sub-heading 2

##### Hierarchy: Sub-heading 3

###### Hierarchy: Sub-heading 4

For a simple section-breaker bar you can type <hr></hr> in the Source Editor to add this bar:

## DM's Screen/Spoiler Function

To avoid spoiling any secret reveals or surprises in your games, you can add a collapsible element that users can only see if they click on the "Reveal DM's Screen" link provided.

To add the DM's Screen function to your articles simply go to the source editor and copy the following code onto your page:

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="Reveal DM's Screen" data-collapsetext="Hide DM's Screen">YOUR CONTENT HERE </div>

The result hides your content automatically and can be revealed by clicking the link:

YOUR CONTENT HERE
You can hide entire sections of a page, or the entire content of the page like so:

## YOUR CONTENT HERE

### MORE CONTENT HERE

You can hide multiple headings, paragraphs, images, and more!
