If you would like to contribute to the Dark Age of Camelot Wiki, please have a read through this page.
The best examples I can give are the following 2 pages: Armsman and Lough Derg,
These pages show an attention to detail and nice flow of information that isn't just a huge wall of text. If you are going to add to the Wiki, emulating these pages would be a great idea.

Icons[]
Pro, Con, and Neutral Icons[]
When making stat pages the following icons can be used:
{{pro}} will render
{{con}} will render
{{neutral}} will render
You might use it like this:
{{pro}} increased strength and thus increased damage and weapons skill<br />
which would render:
[[File:{{{1}}}_icon.png]]} increased strength and thus increased damage and weapons skill
UI Icons[]
You can download and cut out UI icons from the UI icons page.
When you upload a UI icon, please use the naming convention Ability/Item/Icon_Name_icon.jpg", and strip the name of special characters.
An example would be Soldiers Citadel: Uploaded it is Soldiers Citadel_icon.jpg
By following this convention you are able to call the icon easily, using this template:
{{icon}}
Just send the template the name of the Ability/Item/Spell, such as
{{Icon|Soldiers Citadel}},
And you should get this
InfoBoxes[]
Class Infobox[]
Style Guide | ||
Information | ||
Type: | Melee | |
Profession: | Defenders of Albion | |
Races: | Avalonin Briton Half-Ogre Highlander Inconnu Minotaur Saracen | |
Class Stats | ||
Primary: | N/A | |
Secondary: | N/A | |
Tertiary: | N/A |
The class pages are some of the most information heavy pages on the wiki, so breaking up the text with some visuals is a good thing.
To generate a Class Infobox, use the template {{classbox}}
The following code:
{{classbox
|realm=alb
|image=Highlander_Armsman.jpg
|type=Melee
|profession=Defenders of Albion
|races=[[Avalonin]]<br/>[[Briton]]<br/>[[Half-Ogre]]<br/>[[Highlander]]<br/>[[Inconnu]]<br/>[[Minotaur]]<br/><nowiki>[[Saracen]]
Will render what you see to the right---->
Here is a breakdown of the variables you need to send it:
- realm - first 3 letters: alb, mid, hib. Changing this will change the color of the highlighted text
- image - the image file name stripped of wiki tags, example: Highlander_Armsman.jpg, You should make the image at least 200px wide for it to look the best
- type - The type of Class, example: Melee
- profession - Example: Defender's of Albion
- races - Linked possible races separated by <br/> tags. Example: [[Avalonin]]<br/>[[Briton]]<br/>[[Half-Ogre]]<br/>[[Highlander]]<br/>[[Inconnu]]<br/>[[Minotaur]]<br/>[[Saracen]]

|expansion=Classic
|villages=[[Mag Mell]]<br />[[Mardagh]]<br />[[Tir na mBeo]]<br />[[Tir na Nog]]
