====Keyword icons ====
===[[:Template:InfoBox]]===


One game developer wrote a [https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=121439#p121439 function to substitute keywords] for icons, however this method only worked in-game and not on game panel or wiki pages.
Customisable container(s) responsive to screen size.


=== Wiki template method ===
{{InfoBox|title=Example
|body=Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
}}

===Create your own icons===


Templates display in all locations (i.e. the wiki, game panel and in-game).

Purpose

This page was created as a result of the Wiki style guide forum thread.

Most wiki (doc.BoardGameArena.com) formatting is not preserved on BoardGameArena.com, but there are some workarounds. This page is a collection of unofficial tips on how to make wiki pages display well in-game and on game panels.

Feel free to add additional issues, advice and templates 🙂

Help:Formatting

Note: Wiki page changes are updated once per day on BoardGameArena.com.

Languages

Wiki page content displays:

  1. User's language, else
  2. English, else
  3. Create this page link/button.

e.g. A Chinese user reads the Jump Drive rules summary on its game panel page, displayed in English (en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Gamehelpjumpdrive) because the Chinese (zh.doc.boardgamearena.com/Gamehelpjumpdrive) page does not exist. The user sees a typo in the English rules and selects the edit page link to correct it, but the Chinese wiki's create page is displayed instead.

Bug reports

Lists

Help:Lists

Issues

Markers (bullets *, numbering #), margins and padding are removed on BoardGameArena.com.

Bug reports

Workarounds

  1. Use static markers (•,-,1.).
  2. Replace with HTML + CSS.

¹Dynamic markers generate HTML list structure.

²Without dynamic markers, <p>paragraphs</p> are generated which require line breaks before and after the "list" to prevent merging into surrounding paragraphs.

Headings

Level 1 (h1) headings are the title of the page e.g. = Wiki formatting =, = Gamehelp[name] =, = Tips_[name] =.

Issues

  1. In-game h2 and h3 headings are visually indistinguishable.
  2. In-game h3 headings overlap text from the previous section.
  3. h5 headings and below are visually indistinguishable from body text.
  4. Inconsistency between in-game and game panel headings.

Bug reports

Workarounds

Since in-game h3 headings became indistinguishable from h2 headings:

  • Change h3 to h4 headings.
  • Use additional line breaks before h3 headings.

    Game panel content appears in a single box:

    In-game heading example
    In-game content appears in multiple boxes:
    Ruleset heading example.png

    Links

    Help:Links

    Issues

    1. Links to section headings # do not work outside of the wiki (doc.BoardGameArena.com).
    2. URL is resolved to /doc instead of the current page.
    3. In-game links navigate the user away from the game.

    e.g. [[#Section_heading_link]] ⇨ https://BoardGameArena.com/doc#Section_heading_link ¹.

    Bug reports

    Workarounds

    1. Remove links that do not function as expected.

    Images

    Help:Images

    Issues

    1. Resized images do not display on BoardGameArena.com.
      e.g. [[File:Marrakech_example.jpg|300px]] because the resized image does not exist in the referenced directory.
    2. Thumbnails images do not display on BoardGameArena.com.
      e.g. [[File:Marrakech_example.jpg|thumb]] because thumbnails are just resized images.
    3. Image links do not work on BoardGameArena.com.
      e.g. [[File:Versions.png|link=https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/images/b/b5/Factum_Rules_Summary_EN_v1.jpg]] because the link resolves to https://boardgamearena.com/dochttps://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/images/b/b5/Factum_Rules_Summary_EN_v1.jpg

    Workarounds

    1. Upload YourImage with the size it will appear and include the image as simply:
      e.g. [[File:Marrakech_example.jpg]]
    2. Create a {{gameIcon}} with a scale factor.
      e.g. {{YourIcon|scale=0.5}} to reduce the image dimensions by ½.
    3. Replace image links with regular links.
      e.g. [[File:Versions.png]]
      [https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/images/b/b5/Factum_Rules_Summary_EN_v1.jpg LinkText]

    Tips

    1. Optionally include rollover text [[File:Marrakech_example.jpg|Example move]]

    Tables

    Help:Tables

    Issues

    1. width: 98%; stretches tables across the screen on BoardGameArena.com.
    2. Borders do not display on BoardGameArena.com.

    Workarounds

    1. style="width:auto;" fits column width to the contents.
    2. border="2" creates table cell borders.
    3. Replace with HTML + CSS grid.

    Option grids

    Option grids can help visualise multiple interdependent options. Where inflexible wiki text tables fall short, HTML + CSS grid is responsive to screen size e.g. GameHelpPente:

    Training mode only
    Default
    Other
    # of players
    2
    3
    4
    Free-for-all
    Team
    All options win
    Align exactly 5 stones in a row
    Align exactly 4 stones in a row
    Overline win
    May align more than 5 stones in a row
    May align more than 4 stones in a row
    Capture win
    Make 5 captures
    Make 4 captures
    Capture three
    May capture two or three stones (Keryo Pente)
    Self-capture
    No effect: a stone may be placed in a capture position
    Self-capture: results in self-capture! (Poof Pente)
    Forbidden: a stone may not be placed in a capture position
    Overtime capture
    Break the line: may capture to break a winning line (Boat Pente)

    Mixed capture
    Enabled: May capture stones of mixed colour
