| − | == Creating a page ==
| |
| − | Creating a page on the wiki is simple. However if you have never before touched a wiki or you aren't as familiar with MediaWiki, it is important that you first get an introduction into it. See the page creation help below.

| − | === Faction page ===
| |
| − | The official wiki offers a place for the community to create a faction page, and interact with others. How it works is that when a faction page is created is that it is immidiately posted publicly on the faction page. The faction can use their pages as they like, be it to store information for their members or for the public to see. To find out more information, please see the faction help page.
| |
| − | *Faction Pages: [[Help:Faction pages|Faction page help]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Item page ===
| |
| − | Item pages are blocks, materials, ores, and components on the wiki. When creating a new item page, there is a template to be used so that it may be categorized. While each block varies, some basic rules must be followed in order to keep it organized. More information can be found in the help page.

| − | === Mod page ===
| |
| − | Mod makers have the ability to make use of the information space available on the wiki and create their own mod pages. It can be used to store all their updates, and all other information that they have no other place to keep it. More information to create a mod page can be found in the mod help.
| |
| − | *Mod Pages: [[Help:Mod pages|Mod pages]]

| − | === Server page ===
| |
| − | Dedicated server owners are given the opportunity to create a page (or pages) for their server to store information, rules, events, etc. When using the server template, the page is advertised and shown publicly to others interested. More information on how to create this page in the help page.

| − | === User pages ===
| |
| − | User pages are areas of the wiki that users can use however they wish. They can create as many sub pages of their user page as desired. Anything can be posted in wiki user pages (ship building, mod planning, designs, etc). More information can be found in the user help page.

| − | === Creating a translated page === | |
| − | For those who wish to help localize (translate) our wiki, please see the translation help page for instructions on how to create a translated page.
| |
| − | *Translate Pages: [[Help:Localization|Translation help page]] | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | To create a new page for your language visit the corresponding page in English, edit your address bar to include the language code
| |
| − | Here's one Example - Visit the [[Example]] page then edit the top url from
| |
| − | <pre>http://www.spaceengineerswiki.com/index.php?title=Example</pre>
| |
| − | Add '''/de''' to create the german page
| |
| − | <pre>http://www.spaceengineerswiki.com/index.php?title=Example/de</pre>
| |
| − | <nowiki>http://www.spaceengineerswiki.com/index.php?</nowiki>title=Example'''/de''' to create the german page. You can then create a redirect page if one does not exist that will redirect the page title to the properly located page.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Another example - If no page for Creative Mode was available in German you could create the page [[Creative Mode/de]] then redirect the page [[Kreativmodus]] to Creative Mode/de. By using the <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Creative Mode/de]]</nowiki> syntax. For redirects to work, nothing else is allowed on the page. The page must be completely empty except for that redirect code to the translated page.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :*Note: If the link for the translated page does not appear on the right for the English page you can force the page to refresh by adding ?action=purge to the url. For example, if you create [[Example/de]] you can go to [[Example]] and paste ?action=purge, so your url would look like -
| |
| − | <pre>http://www.spaceengineerswiki.com/index.php?title=Example?action=purge</pre>
| |
| − | This will reset the automatic language links for that page.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :*To replace the page display name, you can place this code in your translated page to force-change the name of the page. Replace '''pagename''' with the translated page name.
| |
| − | <pre>{{DISPLAYTITLE:''pagename''}}</pre>
