### Page Creation

Pages are the central part of nearly all Wikis. In order to create a page, you can click the "ADD" button on the top right corner of the screen or you can click on a red link to create a page with the name given in the link. When creating a page, make sure that the page has an appropriate title for the content in the page.

#### Page Rules

Below are the rules of Page Creation:

* Pages MUST be in English (as of now; this may be subject to change in the future for translations).
* Any page that is not related to an aspect of the Techguns mod will not be allowed.

### Page Content

The page content tells the reader what the aspect is about. Creating page content can be achieved by two ways: the visual editor and the source editor. The visual editor is useful for those who prefer to edit visually, where as the source editor is more suitable for those who know Wikitext and especially the creation of tables.

#### Content Rules

Below are the rules of what cannot be in page content (everything else is allowed):

* Anything that does not relate to the title or the aspect of the Techguns mod mentioned cannot be content of that page.
* Any opinions in relation to Techguns itself cannot be part of the content (these are to be put in the comments). Note that widely accepted opinions (e.g. the TFG-10K is the best weapon) are allowed as page content.
* Anything that is not verified cannot be page content.
* Anything that has not yet been implemented into the mod, unless it is verified by a trusted external source, cannot be page content.

### Content Formatting for Sub-Pages

The content formatting for Sub-Pages (i.e. pages that are anything provided in the mod, including machines, blocks, structures, items, and weapons). Note that Main Pages (such as this page) have custom sectioning based on Sub-Headings. An example of the following formatting is shown in the Metal Press page.

#### Page Sections

* Introduction: A brief introduction/summary about the page (note this must be on ALL pages regardless of what page it is). This is aligned to the left and is written as paragraph text with the default font and size.
* Infobox: The appropriate infobox for the item being described. The infobox must have a title, picture, quantitative or qualitative information, and be aligned to the right.
* Crafting: If the thing can be crafted, include a crafting section. Show how to craft it (put a picture\* under a Sub-Heading 1 title named "Recipe" or "Recipes"), what it is used in (if applicable; put a picture under a Sub-Heading 1 title named "Used In"), the crafting tree (if crafting the item requires 2 or more steps; put a picture\* under a Sub-Heading 1 title named "Crafting Tree"), and what it can craft (if it is a machine; put as a Bullet List the items it can craft with links to those pages). The information must be put in the order just stated.

\*This can also be an interactive 3x3 table where clicking on an item on the table will link to the respective page. This may be harder to accomplish with Crafting Trees, and is recommended for more experienced editors. Creating tables with Wikitext can be found here.

* Tips: Suggestions/Tips for the thing mentioned. These can include widely accepted opinions. List as a Bullet List under a Heading with the same name ("Tips"). Use sub-bullets to add to an aspect (look at the Combat Knife page for a visual sense).
* Other/Trivia: Anything else pertaining to the item, including real-world applications and references. List as a Bullet List under a Heading with either name ("Other" or "Trivia"). Use sub-bullets to add to an aspect.
