==Purpose== | |||
''This page was created as a result of the [https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=23790 Wiki style guide] forum thread.'' | |||
( | <span style="font-size:larger;">Most wiki ('''doc.'''BoardGameArena.com) formatting is not preserved on [https://BoardGameArena.com 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.</span> | |||
Feel free to add additional issues, advice and '''[[#Wiki_templates|templates]]''' 🙂 | |||
'''[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Help:Formatting]''' | |||
Note: Wiki page changes are [https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=33914#p33914 updated once per day] on [https://BoardGameArena.com BoardGameArena.com]. | |||
==Languages== | |||
Wiki page content displays: | |||
# User's '''[https://boardgamearena.com/preferences?section=lang language]''', else | |||
# English, else | |||
# ''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==== | |||
* '''[https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=102754 Link for editing is misleading]''' | |||
* '''[https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=117297 Templates and some format don't work in other language]''' | |||

¹Dynamic markers generate HTML list structure. | |||
²Without dynamic markers, <code><nowiki><p></nowiki></code>[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/p paragraphs]<code><nowiki></p></nowiki></code> are generated which require line breaks before and after the "list" to prevent merging into surrounding paragraphs. | |||
==Headings== | ==Headings== | ||
Level 1 (h1) headings are the title of the page e.g. <code>= Wiki formatting =</code>, <code>= Gamehelp[name] =</code>, <code>= Tips_[name] =</code>. | |||
===Issues=== | |||
# In-game h2 and h3 headings are visually indistinguishable. | |||
# In-game h3 headings overlap text from the previous section. | |||
# h5 headings and below are visually indistinguishable from body text. | |||
# Inconsistency between in-game and game panel headings. | |||
====Bug reports==== | |||
* '''[https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=86652 h2/h3 headings not nested]''' | |||
* '''[https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=71867 Section headings overlapping text]''' | |||
===Workarounds=== | |||
Since in-game h3 headings became indistinguishable from h2 headings: | |||
* Change h3 to h4 headings. | |||
* Use additional line breaks before h3 headings. | |||

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 🙂
Note: Wiki page changes are updated once per day on BoardGameArena.com.
Languages
Wiki page content displays:
- User's language, else
- English, else
- 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.

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
- In-game h2 and h3 headings are visually indistinguishable.
- In-game h3 headings overlap text from the previous section.
- h5 headings and below are visually indistinguishable from body text.
- 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
- The Main_Page (root) of this wiki redirects to Help.
- BoardGameArena.com/doc displays the Help index of games.
- Note: each heading has a unique id appended with a number as necessary.
Issues
- Links to section headings
#
do not work outside of the wiki (doc.BoardGameArena.com). - URL is resolved to
/doc
instead of the current page. - 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
- Remove links that do not function as expected.
Images
Issues
- 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.
- e.g.
- Thumbnails images do not display on BoardGameArena.com.
- e.g.
[[File:Marrakech_example.jpg|thumb]]
because thumbnails are just resized images.
- e.g.
- 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 tohttps://boardgamearena.com/dochttps://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/images/b/b5/Factum_Rules_Summary_EN_v1.jpg
- e.g.
Workarounds
- Upload YourImage with the size it will appear and include the image as simply:
- e.g.
[[File:Marrakech_example.jpg]]
- e.g.
- Create a
{{gameIcon}}
with ascale
factor.- e.g.
{{YourIcon|scale=0.5}}
to reduce the image dimensions by ½.
- e.g.
- 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]
- e.g.
Tips
- Optionally include rollover text
[[File:Marrakech_example.jpg|Example move]]
Tables
Issues
common.css
rules.wikicontent table { border-collapse: collapse; margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 5px; width: 98%; } table { border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0; } caption, th { text-align: left; } address, caption, cite, code, dfn, em, strong, th, var { font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; } .wikicontent table td, .wikicontent table th { padding: 5px; text-align: center; } 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; padding: 0; } .wikicontent table td, .wikicontent table th { padding: 5px; text-align: center; }
width: 98%;
stretches tables across the screen on BoardGameArena.com.- Borders do not display on BoardGameArena.com.
Workarounds
style="width:auto;"
fits column width to the contents.border="2"
creates table cell borders.- 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:
