Beginners Help
Welcome to the wonderful onomatopoeic world of wikis. Here we'll go over some of the basics:
Linking to other articles
To link to another article, simply put it's name in [[square brackets]]. That would produce square brackets.
The reason the link is red, is that there isn't an article there yet (click and see). If it's blue, some smart-arse has put an article there.
To link to a Category (such as Category:Pokémon, you put [[:Category:name]]. If you don't put in that first colon, it puts the page into the category instead.
You don't need to know any special code to edit a wiki; if you're not sure how to do something, find an article with the thing in, edit it, and copy/paste the thing. Like Templates.
You can change the text that gets displayed by using the pipe character: |
So to change the link to Category:Pokémon to just Pokémon, you'd go [[:Category:Pokémon|Pokémon]].
This works for normal links too: [[Magikarp|Useless fish pokémon]] produces Useless fish pokémon.
Templates
A lot of WikiDex info is in templates, but only because they look nicer that way.
To go to a template page, instead of just putting the article's name in the address bar, you put Template:name. Likewise to link to it, it's [[Template:name]]. Linking to an article doesn't do anything special like with categories, it's just a link.
To use a template, there are usually instructions on the template's page (for example, Template:Infobox-Area.
Templates are sort of like frameworks; we write the code out, then put variables in that change depending on what's written on the page (inside the templatey bit that you have to copy/paste).
Policies
Because this wiki is for Pokémon Treasures data, any pokémon not made or approved my our staff will be deleted.
If you want a cameo, use the UncomCameo template. If you register an account, you can put it on your user page :D
