Wiki formatting: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 05:10, 15 December 2023

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:

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.

Bug reports

Link for editing is misleading

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.com.

Bug reports

Bullet points not visible

Workarounds

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

common.css rules

ul.bulletlist li {
    list-style: disc none inside
}

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

<dl>description list</dl>
<dt>description term</dt>
<dd>description details</dd>

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.

In-game heading example

In-game content appears in multiple boxes:

Links

Help: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.
e.g. #Issues_3 links to Links Issues and #Issues_4 links to Images Issues.

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

¹Section links don't work

Workarounds

Remove links that do not function as expected.

Images

Help: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.

Workarounds

Upload YourImage with the size it will appear.
Create a {{gameIcon}} with a scale factor.
e.g. {{YourIcon|scale=0.5}} to reduce the image dimensions by ½.

Tips

Optionally include rollover text [[File:Marrakech_example.jpg|Example move]]
Optionally include a link [[File:Versions.png|link=https://lumberjacks-studio.com/en/project/trek-12_en/]]

.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:

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)

Capture the line: may capture an entire winning line

Mixed capture

Enabled: May capture stones of mixed colour

Disabled: Captures of one colour only

Wiki templates

Help:Templates

Keyword icons

One game developer wrote a function to substitute keywords for icons, however this method only worked in-game and not on game panel or wiki pages.

Wiki template method

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

Step 1

Upload YourImage.png

Step 2

Create https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Template:YourIcon

Fill in the parameters:

{{gameIcon
|tooltip=
|imageFileName=
|scale=1
|width=
|height=
|x=0
|y=0
|textColor=black
|outlineColor=white
}}<noinclude>
[[Category:YourIcons]]
<noinclude>

Step 3

Insert {{YourIcon}}

Template:GameIcon#Examples

Template:InfoBox

Customisable container(s) responsive to screen size.
