Style Guide

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.

Pro, Con, and Neutral Icons
When making stat pages the following icons can be used: will render will render will render

You might use it like this: increased strength and thus increased damage and weapons skill

which would render: } 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: Just send the template the name of the Ability/Item/Spell, such as  , And you should get this

Class Infobox
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 The following code: 

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  tags. Example: Avalonin Briton Half-Ogre Highlander Inconnu Minotaur Saracen

Zone Box
Same idea here as the Classbox: The following code:

To generate a Zone Infobox, use the template Here is a breakdown of the variables you need to send it:

Mardagh Tir na mBeo Tir na Nog

 * image - the image file name stripped of wiki tags, example: Lough_Derg_map.jpg, Maps are being added to the Maps page, otherwise you can always upload them yourself. They should be 200px. In general the naming convention of maps should be Name_of_Zone_map.jpg
