<p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{stub}}<br />
The style used for writing RoboWiki articles is not nearly as formal or stringent as some other wikis, such as [http://wikipedia.org Wikipedia]. That said, when in doubt, we do model our style after Wikipedia, and writing articles to that high standard is never a bad thing.<br />
<br />
== Writing style ==<br />
<br />
The [http://old.robowiki.net old RoboWiki] had almost no guidelines as far as organization or writing style. Since moving to MediaWiki in 2009, we have cleaned up a lot. We try to make well organized, clear, concise pages, especially for important articles like [[Waves]]. We keep discussion on the Talk pages. We categorize our pages. Whatever guidelines we put here, sometimes the best source of guidance is to just look around the wiki. [[Special:PopularPages|Popular pages]] or those linked from the [[Main Page]] are likely to be high quality.<br />
<br />
== Tools ==<br />
<br />
There are a few different tools you might like to use to make your pages prettier or make it easier to include certain content.<br />
* '''[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi Syntax highlighting]''' - Surround code blocks in the <code><nowiki><syntaxhighlight></nowiki></code> tag to make them look really snazzy.<br />
* '''[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Math Math formulas]''' - The <code><nowiki><math></nowiki></code> tag will let you write mathematical formulas without lots of crazy/manual HTML formatting.<br />
* '''[[RumbleStats]]''' - Allows you to insert a bot's [[RoboRumble]] details onto a page, nicely formatted and without fetching the info yourself. Really useful for [[:Category:Bot Version Histories|version history]] pages.<br />
<br />
== Templates ==<br />
<br />
We have lots of templates. You can see them all from [[Special:Allpages]] (choose Templates namespace), but here are a few of the most used ones:<br />
* '''[[:Template:Infobox Robot|Infobox Robot]]''' - Used on [[:Category:Bots|bot pages]] to display the vital details about a bot in a clear, visible way. See [[Cigaret]].<br />
* '''[[:Template:Navbox small|Navbox small]]''' - Create a small menu of subpages, useful for bot pages or User pages. See [[Dookious]].</div>Voidious
