How do you link to a category page? When I tried, it just stuck the page I was trying to link from into the category.

The category in question is:
http://www.freeallegiance.org/FAW/index.ph...gory:Help_-_FAQ

Usually though, "skill" is used to covertly mean "match the game exactly to my level of competence." Anyone who is at all worse than me should fail utterly (and humorously!) and anyone better is clearly too caught up in the game and their opinions shouldn't count.

That's because the syntax is the same.

I'd suggest using HTML linking since I don't know any other way.

Code: Select all

Linking to that page should be a simple case of

Code: Select all

[[Help - FAQ]]
or
[[Help - FAQ|Link Text]]



But apparently isn't...

[[:Category:Help - FAQ]]

Colon *before* the word Category to make sure that the article you are editing isnt added to the category.

i saw something somewhere saying about no wiki formatting tags.

cant remember where it was, but its for the same effect as the [code ] tags here.
anyway, they should go in the guide

You create a link to that category with [[:Category:Foo]] instead.


<nowiki> only disables wiki markup.

<nowiki><b>This is still bold.</b></nowiki>
<nowiki><pre><b>This should not be bold, afaik.</b></pre></nowiki>

edit,
hmm, think we could include these in the top (and other bits like <nowiki>, i did thnik of putting it into a wiki page, but it all seems too much, like how to show how to use nowiki tags on tha page.. ok, i suppose i could use html to generate the <> etc...)
:(

how do we do quotes in a page?
should we just indent stuff with spaces since that seems to put it in its own box (without some formatting too)

there exists quotings to be done in http://www.freeallegiance.org/forums/index...showtopic=37492
