This is a brief guide to wiki editing. If you are adding a theme, be sure to read the specific page that outlines how the Theme template should be used...
In general wiki text is just like anything else you would write, it simply has a few extra rules for controlling formatting. You view the wiki source for any page simply by clicking on the "edit this page" button at the top of this page.
In general, pressing the return or enter key does not start a new line. A single newline is ignored. If you want to start a new paragraph, simply leave a blank line between the two paragraphs.
Heading are created using equal signs, Single equal signs give the highest level heading, like the page title do not use them. Double equal signs are a header, three form a sub-heading, and four form a sub-sub-heading.
| Code | What it looks like |

You should be very careful not to overuse either of these abilities. In general, emphasized text is preferable to strong text.

There are two main type of links, internal links and external links. Internal links point to pages on the HyperSpin wiki; external links point to other pages on the internet.
There are several ways to create internal links on the HyperSpin wiki. The simplist of which is to type:
[[page name]]
which will automatically create a link that looks like: page name (Red links point to nonexistant articles.)
Below are some more advanced techniques for controlling not only where the link points, but how it looks.
[[battle|Combat]] occurs only at [[time|sunrise]] and [[time|sunset]].
Combat occurs only at sunrise and sunset.
Themes are grouped into Namespaces, so each theme's page name will usually start with Official Themes: or User Themes:. You can link to a theme page and hide it's namespace to create a cleaner look by ending your link with a bar like this...
One of the first HyperSpin themes was [[Official Theme:Burger Time (MAME)|]].
One of the first HyperSpin themes was Burger Time.

The simplest form of external link is to simply type in the url for example:
The main HyperSpin site is at: http://www.hyperspin-fe.com
The main HyperSpin site is at: http://www.hyperspin-fe.com
As long as the url starts with http:// it will be automatically converted to a link.
External links use only one set of square brackets.
[http://www.hyperspin-fe.com]
Note that these look funny. They should not be used without a good reason.
To create a named link (aka hyperlink), put a space after the url and then enter the text you want to use as the link...
