== Links ==

=== External Links ===

[http://ac.turbine.com/]

[http://ac.turbine.com/ Turbine]

=== Internal Links ===

[[Armor]]

[[Armor | Link to Armor]]

[[:Category:Armor]]

[[:Special:Whatlinkshere/Wiki Markup Reference | What Links Here]]

<span class="plainlinks">[{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Image:Icon.png}} Image:Icon.png]</span> (internal link, no redirect symbol)

== Lists ==

=== Unordered Lists ===
*Item A
*Item B
*Item C

=== Numbered Lists ===
#First Item
#Second Item
#Third Item

=== Nested Lists ===
Putting an unordered list within a numbered list:

#Numbered List 1
#Numbered List 2
#*Unordered List A
#*Unordered List B
#Numbered List 3

== Indentation, Alignment, and Spacing ==

<center>Centered text</center>

:Single Indentation

::Double Indentation

:::Triple Indentation

;Definition List Term : Definition List Definition

== Special Wiki Code ==
=== Signing Comments ===
It's helpful to sign comments made on disscussion/talk pages so later on we know who left the comment and when it was made. Clicking the Signature button on the edit toolbar will automatically insert wiki code that will be translated into a link to your user page and the current time when you click the Save Page button. Alternatively you can insert the code yourself:
<pre>
--~~~~
</pre>
=== What Links Here ===
You can create a hard link to the Whatlinkshere function. Use either a particular article name, or you can use a variable. The primary benefit to using a whatlinkshere function as opposed to just listing items, is in the future when more items are added to the wiki, a whatlinkshere will automatically reflect the new additions. A static list will depend on being correctly updated, something that may or may not happen.

<pre>
[[:Special:Whatlinkshere/Pack (White)|Vendors that sell White Packs.]]

[[:Special:Whatlinkshere/{{PAGENAME}}|Variable]]
</pre>

=== Search ===
You can create a wiki link to a search for a particular term or variable. For example to create a link that searches for the term [[:Special:Search/Geomancy|Geomancy]]:

<pre>
[[:Special:Search/Geomancy|Geomancy]]
</pre>

For more than one word, separate terms with +, such as:

<pre>
[[:Special:Search/Fire+Cold]]
</pre>

You can also use [[Wiki Markup Reference#Variables|variables]] such as:

<pre>
[[:Special:Search/{{PAGENAME}}|Article]]
</pre>

Note that a search term that exactly matches the name of an existing article will resolve to that article, not a search.

== Magic Words ==
{|border=1 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0
!bgcolor=#F0F0F0| Word 
!bgcolor=#F0F0F0| Description
|-
| <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki>
| Hides ToC on the current page.
|-
| <nowiki>__FORCETOC__</nowiki>
| Forces the table of contents to appear.
|-
| <nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki>
| Places a ToC here (overriding any <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki>). Multiple ToCs are no longer supported. If <nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki> is used multiple times, only the first occurrence causes a ToC to appear.
|-
|
<nowiki>{|align=right cellpadding=10</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| __TOC__</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>|}</nowiki>
| Place the table of contents into a floating table on the right side, in other words the table of contents appears the same, just to the right side with text flowing normally alongside on the left. You can adjust the alignment, cellpadding (whitespace around the ToC), color, etc if desired. For simple usage, you can use [[Template:RightToC|<nowiki>{{RightToC}}</nowiki>]].
|-
| <nowiki>__NOEDITSECTION__</nowiki>
| Hides the edit links beside headings. Also, will no longer automatically edit only one section at a time when double- or right-clicking a heading (if you have that feature enabled in your preferences)
|-
| <nowiki>__NEWSECTIONLINK__</nowiki>
| [MW1.7+] Gives a "+"-link next to the edit-tab to make a new section on a non-talk page (post-a-comment feature).
|-
| <nowiki>__NOCONTENTCONVERT__</nowiki><br><nowiki>__NOCC__</nowiki>
| Don't perform the content language conversion (character and phase) in article display; for example, Chinese zh with zh_cn, zh_tw, zh_sg, zh_hk.
|-
| <nowiki>__NOGALLERY__</nowiki>
| [MW1.7+] This magic word allows images in category pages to be displayed as inline links instead of gallery.
|-
| <nowiki>__NOTITLECONVERT__</nowiki><br><nowiki>__NOTC__</nowiki>
| Like <nowiki>__NOCC__</nowiki> but affecting article title only.
|-
| <nowiki>__END__</nowiki>
| Allows for trailing whitespace to be included in the page save (does not seem to work anymore).
|-
| <nowiki>__START__</nowiki>
| This magic word has no effect but an ID in MagicWord.php (MAG_START).
|-
| <nowiki>__HIDDENCAT__</nowiki>
| When placed anywhere on a category page, this magic word causes that category not to appear in the horizontal box near the bottom of every member page. See Help:Category#Hidden_categories for further detail.
|-
|}
=== HTML Characters ===
Some characters are either reserved in HTML or are special characters used by the wiki parser engine. To display these characters while sidestepping their special uses you can use special codes.

=== Variables ===
''See [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words MediaWiki.org] for an exhaustive list.''

<pre>
{{PAGENAME}} - Name of the article where the variable is used.

{{FULLPAGENAME}} - Name of the article where the variable is used including the namespace if any.
                   For example, "File:Image.jpg", "MediaWiki:Sidebar", and "Creatures". The 
                   PAGENAME variable would by contrast give "Image.jpg", "Sidebar", and "Creatures".

{{PAGESINCATEGORY:categoryname}} - Total number of pages in the category specified. This is 
                                   an expensive function and should not be used many times on 
                                   the same page.
</pre>
