Setting Page Templates

The following are formatting templates to use when filling in sections of the Campaign Setting, by using these we can ensure that all the information is stored in a uniform way that will help to keep the wiki simple and easy to use.

When writing in the wiki, some simple rules to follow are:

• Whenever possible, link up your new information to existing pages in the wiki by clicking the source button and using the code [[page|text]] where 'page' is the end of the destination page's url and text is the word that will be displayed. eg. to link to 'http://l4w.wikia.com/wiki/L4W:Daunton#The_Great_Library' you would put [[L4W:Daunton#The_Great_Library|The great Library]]. If the information you are adding is from a character's background, please provide a link to that character's sheet.

• If you want to expand on something you mention enough to warrant it's own page, simply surround the word with [[ ]] then when you save the page you can follow the link to a new wiki article.

• Whenever you reference something that occurred in an adventure, please provide a link to the appropriate post in the L4W forums like so [url text], eg. [http://www.enworld.org/forum/living-4th-edition/274209-discussion-new-wiki-site.html New Wiki Discussion Thread].
