**Actually, be careful when tackling Wanted Pages. Many terms end up on the list not because the wiki is missing an article, but because it is being linked to in a new way. In those cases, consider whether the term should become a [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Redirects new redirect] or if you should just edit the irregular link on the necessary page(s). | **Actually, be careful when tackling Wanted Pages.

== Templates to know == | |||
Templates help with standardization and maintenance of the wiki. They also greatly condense otherwise repetitious formatting. Use these whenever they apply. | |||
*[[Template:AB|AB Template]] is used throughout the skill pages to document each ability's syntax, cost, effect, etc. | |||
**[[Template:sub|Sub Template]] is closely related; used for when additional syntax or costs are mentioned later in a skill description. | |||
*[[Template:Area|Area Template]] should be used for every page in the Wiki that concerns an in-game area. | |||
*[[Template:News|News Template]] is for linking to MUD news boards, primarily Announce and Events. | |||
