From Sand Wiki
  • The icon for Baked Beans
    Please please please add change notes to your changes!
  • Try to include a top right image, especially for pages on specific things, use the "thumbnail" image format with a caption.
  • Don't add visual css styles, eg color to your content, we have two themes (Light/Dark) and what looks good in one will be weird in the other.
  • Don't duplicate the same information on two pages, especially if it's something that is likley to change (like drop rates).
  • When you want to link to another page, do it on the first instance of the word, so it's near the top of the page, you can bend this rule if the page is long and the link is important in context.
  • Where a page is linked, it should still read correctly in the context of the article, so pluralize, rename or even completely change the title as needed.

Don't do this

The desert raiders are a faction often found on Sophie, they are a large enemy faction that can be found all over Sophie. They have a range of various Desert Raiders Bases on Sophie that the player can find.

Note the second appearance of Sophie is not linked.

Headers are ok

But bear in mind these create a lot of whitespace and can sometimes look like a new article is starting, make sure there's a good amount of text above and below them to counter this.

Sub Headings

Will be added to the article table of contents just like headers.

If you just need the horizontal line for separation in an article, go to edit source and use the <hr> tag, instead of using header.


Whoooo! Lines!
