General Comments

How to create a link to another page on the wiki:

Example: We want to place a link on the Galae Ranks page to point to the Starfleet Ranks page.

The Starfleet Ranks page is located in United Federation of Planets/Starfleet/, so the correct link would be

[[Starfleet Ranks]]

If we wanted that the link is displayed with a different name, we'd write

[[Starfleet Ranks|Starfleet Officer Ranks]]

This will display "Starfleet Officer Ranks", but still point to [[Starfleet Ranks]]

• Important: Links are case-sensitive

• If you write a text, don't forget to cross-reference. After all, this is a wiki, so information should be interlinked so you can easily get from one topic to another one by clicking on a link in the text you're reading.

• If you need help with anything wiki-related, please contact Mel in-game or send a mail to mel at galae dot org.

Table Markup

Here's the basic markup for a table. This was taken from http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables. It is also possible to customise tables using CSS and a little HTML. Further and more thorough information can be found at the above link.

{|	start table
|+	table caption, optional; only one per table and between table start and first row
|-	table row, optional on first row -- wiki engine assumes the first row
!	table header cell, optional. Consecutive table headers may be added on same line separated by double marks (!!) or start on new lines, each with its own single mark (!).
|	table data cell, required! Consecutive table data cells may be added on same line separated by double marks (||) or start on new lines, each with its own single mark (|).
|}	end table
