+====== Writing, Syntax and Template ======
+Hey! So you discovered (or saw on a Discord channel) a new movement technique. Neat! By clicking this link, I assume you want to document the technique on the Deadlock Movement Wiki. Thank you!
-/* !! This is the video clip. Replace walking.mp4 with a relevant clip and */
+Below are a bunch of general rules and resources to help you write a page or a new section of a pre-existing page. There are images (for the visual learners out there) with very large red circles (for the visually deficient people out there).
-/* !! the placeholder text in line 4. Upload the clip via Media Manager. */
-<WRAP half right infobox>
+The wiki has a bit of a learning curve to start writing for (it's a lot more like writing a HTML webpage than a standard WYSIWYG software (like Google Docs)), but it should all be explained down below. If push comes to shove and what you've written isn't really up to standard, maybe I'll((compsoter)) will fix it.

+<WRAP half column>
+{{ ::example2.png?nolink&600 |}}
+</WRAP>
+</WRAP>
+==== Creating/editing a page ====
+Go to your browser search bar and replace the link with what is relevant. First, you need to understand what the difference between a namespace is.
+ - A namespace is like a folder. For links, these are signified by the words separated by slashes preceding the last one (see the image below). A namespace //can also// be a page. For example, the page [[universaltech:stamina|Stamina]] is in the [[universaltech:about|Universal Tech]] namespace, and the link is ''dlmovement.wiki/universaltech/stamina''. There is also the page [[universaltech|Universal Tech]], which has the link ''dlmovement.wiki/univeraltech''.
+  - The Deadlock Movement Wiki has six main namespaces. 99% of the time, you'll put your page into one of these namespaces;
+    - ''hero'', where character specific techniques go;
+    - ''itemtech'', where item specific techniques go;
+    - ''universaltech'', which is where universal techniques that can be performed by more than one character go,
+    - ''statuseffects'' which is where movement relevant status effects go,
+    - ''primelock'' which is where the //Primelock Movement Wiki// is located, and;
+    - ''viscous'', which is where the wiki version of the //Viscous Deep Dive// is located.
+      - For ''primelock'' and ''viscous'', they have their own version of the other four namespaces (''primelock'' has its own ''universaltech'' namespace (''dlmovement.wiki/primelock/universaltech/stamina''))
+{{ ::example3.png?nolink&600 |}}
+To create a page, make a new link by substituting what namespace you want and what you want the page to be named into the dlmovement.wiki link (e.g. if I wanted to create a page on health pickups in the namespace ''universaltech'', I would type in ''dlmovement.wiki/universaltech/healthpickup''). If the page doesn't exist yet, you'll be greeted by this page. To create a page, click on the button next to it. If the page exists, hovering over the button will say "Edit this page" instead, and the icon will be slightly different (but still at the top).
+{{ ::example4.png?nolink&600 |}}
+==== Writing a page ( + basic syntax) ====
+You'll be greeted by a screen that looks like this.
+{{ ::example5.png?nolink&600 |}}
+There are buttons on the top row; hovering over these will tell you the function of them. The most important functions are numbered;
+  - The bold text button **bolds** the text selected. Clicking on it without selecting anything will create a placeholder string.
+  - The italic text button //italicises// (tilts) the text selected. Clicking on it will without selecting anything create a placeholder string.
+  - The monospace text button ''monospaces'' the text selected. Clicking on it without selecting anything will create a placeholder string.
+  - The internal link button adds an [[template|internal link]] to a page in the Deadlock Movement Wiki. A pop-up will open which allows you to select the page or namespace you want to link to.
+  - The add images button opens a media file pop-up, which allows you to upload images and files to the Deadlock Movement Wiki. First, select your namespace on the side, submit your file via the button that says "Select File", then press "Upload."
+  - The custom button allows you to insert custom strings specifically made for the Deadlock Movement Wiki. This is elaborated on in the section [[template#custom_strings|Custom Strings]].
+  - The insert table button allows you to make a table with a graphical interface, similar to how you might edit or manipulate a table in Word or Google Docs. To go back to the main editing page, save the table below (solve the maths question and submit a temporary edit summary)
+  - The save button saves the page. This is the very last button you press, and will exit you to the page
+  - The preview button previews the page below the editing region as though a viewer of the page might. This is very useful for visually confirming your edits.
+  - The edit summary text box is for submitting a summary of your edits (e.g. if you changed a paragraph on how stamina recharges because a patch came out, you might say "Changed paragraph on stamina recharges in accordance to XX/XX/XX patch")
+  - The minor edits button allows you to signify that this was a minor change. Use this for small grammatical or word changes; anything that does not change the core content of a page.
+Writing in the box is similar to how you type in a word processor like Word, except that it is monospaced and there is no formatting applied to it (to view formatting, you have to preview the page and scroll down). Utilising the [[template#template|template]] and adapting it to your movement technique, write about it! There are general guidelines listed below in the General writing guidelines section.
+There are some additional formatting options you can use:
+  * You can create footnotes by surrounding a selection with double brackets (e.g. the phrase "I ate a ((vegan))burger((I didn't))" is typed ''I ate a %%((vegan))burger((I didn't))%%''
+The wiki makes extensive use of the [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:wrap|wrap plugin]] to execute its formatting. View its documentation at https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:wrap, or copy paste from a Deadlock Movement Wiki page. If you are writing a character tech page and want sections to be formatted separate, use the custom string ''%%<WRAP box nobox>%%'' and ''%%</WRAP>%%'' around elements; this will ensure they are spaced properly.
+Once you are done, solve the maths question and press save. The edit will be published and be visible to everyone. There is no cooldown on editing a page.
+===== General writing guidelines =====
+There are general writing guidelines. These are loose; if a pages contents work better disregarding one of these guidelines, then it will stay.
+  - If the movement technique can be recorded, provide a clip. This is elaborated in the section [[template#clips|clips]].
+  - Make sure there are no lone sentences; these look out of place in the page. Make sure you write paragraphs
+  - If you did testing, please provide it in a footnote
+  - **Bold ONLY** the first instance of a techniques name or the first instance of an AKA.
+  - If you are mentioning an item, mention its category (<weapon> <wrap retailsemibold><color #9E6203>Weapon</color></wrap>, <vitality> <wrap retailsemibold><color #7CB125> Vitality</color></wrap> or <spirit> <wrap retailsemibold><color #E1A0FF>Spirit</color></wrap>), show the items icon then the items name in the Retail Semibold font. (e.g. the <vitality> <wrap retailsemibold><color #7CB125> Vitality</color></wrap> item <item_healing_rite> <wrap retailsemibold>Healing Rite</wrap>). This necessitates the use of custom strings, via the button on the editing toolbar or by copy pasting from the table in [[template#custom_strings|custom strings]]
+  - That you use British English.
+  - That you link the first mention of a technique that is not the main focus of the page to its respective page.
+  - That maths equations are using $ \LaTeX $. If you need to show a maths equation, see the documentation on [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:latex|dokuwiki]].
+===== Banned terms =====
+There are couple of terms that are banned on the wiki, because they are confusing or because they are alternate/worse names to things that already exist. Using these terms is bad for consistency and will get your edit reverted or edited by an admin. You are permitted to use these terms as an AKA but not when mentioning the technique on another page.
+  * Wallbounce to refer to [[universaltech:walljumping|Wall Jumping]]. Wallbounce is a legacy term from Apex Legends, and the official term used by the developers is Wall Jump.
+  * Mantle Slide to refer to [[universaltech:mantle_glide|Mantle Glide]]. Mantle Glide was the term used by the developers first.
+  * Diagonal Dashing to refer to [[universaltech:strafedashing|Strafe Dashing]] for consistency reasons.
+  * ZMC to refer to the two second air drag buff.
+  * Any kind of colloquial term for a techinque. If a technique has a name on the wiki, please use that name.
+===== Clips =====
