Easy Editing Guide

Because you don't have to be an OG to help edit BG.
Welcome to the quickstart guide of BG Wiki editing. Thank you for taking an interest in improving this community resource. Most of the work on BG is already done for you. The infrastructure has been laid out via Templates. Where you just copy paste something with a little bit of info into the fields. Most things don't have to be imagined up into existence.
Rather than try to discuss every template there is. Here we will go over some examples you may run into and give the gist. Which, I assure you is an easy thing to do.
There are obviously some less easy things as well which will be covered. Such as transclusion; calling something like a note or table to other pages. For example, the set effect note for Empyrean Armor being called to all the individual armor item pages. Which is far better than copy pasting.
Formatting
Basic Formatting
You can take a look at the Formatting page, but most of editing people excel at is the most needed. Adding clarity or information to a quest or mission is just plain text. If you can shitpost on a forum then you can do this. The formatting is just a bit different.
While you can partly use the icons in the editing screen to bold or italicize something, it will just do the step for you. The aforementioned Formatting page is really good with examples though. So I won't repeat anything here, but the most common stuff will be some of the following:
''Italicized Text'' | Show nuance or just some sass. |
'''Bold Text''' | Be bold. Be beautiful. Be obscene. |
'''''Bold Italicized Text''''' | You are at about a 10. Take it down a few notches. |
*Bullet points **Sub bullet. ***Das Boot |
Note: A wiki table row starts with a pipe: | and you must be on a free line to use a bullet.
|
:Indent some text. ::Bullets aren't always desired visual additions. ::*You can still use them as well like this. Mix it up. |
|
Note: Do not add a extra gap when using indents or bullets. It will mess up the spacing. For example, you will get an unindented double bullet instead of a sub bullet If you do: *Bullet |
↑ This is wrong.

==This Creates a Section== ===This Creates a Sub Section=== ====And This Is to Go Even Further!==== |
This Creates a SectionThis Creates a Sub SectionAnd This Is to Go Even Further!Table of contents automatically appears after a few sections. Only Level 1 and 2 sections get an underline. This is generally desired though to break up the text in lower level sections. To manually add it, type: ---- right below the ===Section===. |

Fancier Formatting
<div> tags can be used for a wide array of formatting specific elements. The same way you would elements of a wiki table.

<div style="font-size: 4; color: white; background: grey; text-align: center;">THIS IS AN EXAMPLE</div> | THIS IS AN EXAMPLE

Signing Posts
Talk pages require the signing of posts so we have some sort of idea of the author without checking the page history and the context of time to when it was written.
