Instructions on wiki formatting

When 4 or more titles are created, the Table of Contents will automatically be created. Adding __TOC__ or __FORCETOC__ will place the toc on wherever spot you add it, even if there are less than 4 titles. Adding __NOTOC__ will keep the Table of Contents from appearing.

Lists

To make a list, set a * before each sentence. Make sure you'll make a new line for each listed sentence.

The effect will be this:

• Waluigi
• Scratch
  • Grounder
• Hulk Hogan

If you want to go wikiHow style, you can also use numberical lists, by using #'s; leading to this:

1. Waluigi
2. Scratch
   1. Grounder
3. Hulk Hogan

How to embed a youtube video

{{#ev:youtube|_JaW_f45xnY|320}}

Format: {{vid|insert "code" part of the url here}} Example:

• {{vid|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JaW_f45xnY}} incorrect
• {{vid|_JaW_f45xnY}} correct

If done correctly, the result should be this:

How to embed a image

If you want a image with a thumbnail, try this: [[Image: imagename.filename|thumb| *insert description here*]]

*insert description here*

The name of the part afterwards the Image: part, should be the complete filename of the file uploaded onto Chewiki. the image on the right can be embed onto a page by using this code, for example: [[Volvic_revive.png|thumb|*insert description here*]]

If you don't want a thumbnail image, just type [[Image: imagename.filename]]

How to add a template/group

Add {{name}} anywhere on the page. The group then will appear on the bottom of the article it's currently in, and it'll add a template (if there's one avaible) On the upper-right corner of the article.

How to add links

If you want to add a link to another page, type [[You]](You). Alernatively, type [[Yoghurt|Robotnik]](Robotnik) to make the text show up as Robotnik, but link to Yoghurt instead. It's reccomended to keep this in mind to prevent double articles from forming.

It's also essential to spell the article right, or else it won't work.

Alternatively, using an url outside of Chewiki can be done by typing it like this: [www.youchewpoop.com] (It only requires 2 brackets then 4.)
