Getting Started#

Welcome! This page covers how to write for this wiki. See also the main page, and the Syntax guide (book icon in the toolbar, or Alt+G) for a copyable reference of everything below.

Writing basics#

Open any page from the sidebar. The editor supports standard markdown plus wiki extras:

Bold, italic, ~~strikethrough~~, highlights, and inline #wiki tags
inline code and code blocks
Tables, blockquotes, links, footnotes¹
Images — paste one straight into the editor and it uploads itself
Wikilinks: [[Page Name]], or [[Page Name#Heading|Label]] for a section — like this one. A red link means the page doesn't exist yet.

Page metadata#

Start a page with a frontmatter block to control how it appears in listings:

---
title: Display Name
categories: [Characters]
aliases: [Old Name]
sortKey: Name
---

[[Category:Some Category]] anywhere in the body also files the page into a category — it's hidden in the rendered article and shows in the Categories bar at the foot of the page.

Structure and layout#

:::infobox{title="…" image="…"} — the right-rail card you see on character pages
::::columns{ratio="65-35"} with :::column fences — multi-column pages (demo)
::section[Title]{icon="📘"} — decorated section bands for portals
::category-index{of="Characters"} — automatic A–Z listings (demo)
{{Template|param=value}} — reusable content from _templates/ (demo)

If you misspell a directive, the preview shows a warning box where it would have rendered — nothing fails silently.

Publishing workflow#

Action	What happens
`Ctrl+S` / Save	Commits to your personal draft branch
Publish	Opens a pull request: draft → main
Merge PR	Publishes the change to the live wiki

Saving never touches the live branch directly — every change goes through a draft, so nothing breaks the wiki mid-edit.

Local dev mode#

Running with VITE_DEV_MODE=local serves this dev-content/ folder from disk with no GitHub auth; branches and PRs are simulated in memory.

pnpm install
VITE_DEV_MODE=local pnpm dev

Theming#

Open the Theme panel in the toolbar to switch presets (Archive, Fandom Gold, Midnight Blue, Light, Slate Dark), adjust colors, fonts, and content width, or set a background image. Themes live in _config/theme.json, so they publish like any other edit.
