Formatting Guide
This page is dedicated to helping you format your pages in a more readable way; its not an in depth guide but more a general "here's how to layout your page".
First Step; Headings
You want to use headings. It's paramount you break your page up with headings, with MediaWiki this creates a contents section for you that allows users to adequately zip around your page. Using headings is easy, when viewing the page it will be right of the Redo arrow, and has various drop down options (Heading, Subheading 1, subheading 2, subheading 3 etc). Play around with these to see what suits you best for your page. A page broken up into various headings and smaller blocks of text makes it far easier to read, navigate and learn from. As well as it just being more memorable overall.
Second Step; Bullet Points and Hyperlinks
You can use bullet points through either the bullet point option (on the toolbar at the top) or through the use of "*" key at the start of each line. This helps break lists up and make them more noticeable and legible.
It's also useful to use Hyperlinks, due to this being a video game sourcing your information might not be possible but what you can do is hyperlink to other relevant pages on the Wiki, you can do this using the Hyperlink button at the top (it looks like a chain link).
Third and Final Step; Pictures
Written documentation is brilliant, but you know what aids people even more? Pictures. You can upload images by going to "insert" and then "Images and Media".
