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, 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 have been said to be updated once per day on BoardGameArena. (That may be outdated, it seems maybe once per hour now.)

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

Help:Lists

Issues

common.css rules
li {
    list-style: none; /*removes list markers*/
}

li, ul {
    margin: 0; /*removes margin before and after lists*/
    padding: 0; /*removes list indentation*/
}

blockquote, body, code, dd, div, dl, dt, fieldset, form, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, input, legend, li, ol, p, pre, td, textarea, th, ul {
    margin: 0; /*removes inline and block margins*/
    padding: 0; /*removes list indentation*/
}

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

Bug reports

Workarounds

  1. Use static markers (,-,1.).
  2. Replace with HTML + CSS.
common.css rules
ul.bulletlist li {
    list-style: disc none inside
}

.wikicontent p {
    margin-bottom: 8px;
    margin-top: 8px
}

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.

    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.
      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.
      e.g. [[File:Marrakech_example.jpg|thumb]] because thumbnails are just resized images.
    3. Image links do not work on BoardGameArena.
      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]]

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

    Workarounds

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

    Capture win
    Make 5 captures

    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)
    Capture the line: may capture an entire winning line
    Mixed capture
    Enabled: May capture stones of mixed colour
