He will remove your information and lock the page so that information cannot be added later. The discussion pages will remain unlocked.

==Protecting a page from being created==
+
{{Help}}
It is not really possible to protect a page from being created, but one can create a page with a standard text such as in [[w:en:Template:Deletedpage]] and [[Help:Editing#Page_protection|protect]] that page. Note that sometimes a terminology like "This page should not be created." is used even though for the system the page exists. Therefore it is not suitable for demonstrating a link to a non-existing page.

===Adding People===
+
[[Category:Help]]
When adding people remember to include all relevant  categories; for instance if the person is a [[knight]], you should include the category for their [[Order]], the year they were [[belted]], and the [[Kingdom]] that they are knighted under. You should also include the category for their chapter and Kingdom.  You might want to use the [[Player_Entry_Template|Player Entry Template]].
 
 
 
===Adding things===
 
When adding new things that are relevant to amtgard remember to include <nowiki> [[Category:Amtgard Things]] or [[Category:Amtgard Terms]]</nowiki>. First list the basic definition, and what the 'thing' is used for. then give specific examples and where one might find the thing.
 
 
 
===Adding Groups===
 
When adding a group such as a [[Company]] or [[Household]]; you should list a short description of the goals of the group and what they are about, a truncated history, the symbols or colors of the group, and a listing of members (past and present). The [[Household Entry Template]] might be a good place to start for this.
 
 
 
===Adding Chapters===
 
When adding new chapters use the [[Place Template]]. You will need to include the following; Days and times that the chapter meets, their heraldry, their history, what group if any they are under and when they were founded.
 
===Basic commands===
 
====Internal links====
 
*If you want an internal link, simply put <nowiki>[[ before and ]] after what you are linking to. This is for connecting to things within the wiki. </nowiki>
 
**If you wish to make it look different, yet still connect to a certain page, you would insert a | after the page it links to, and then type what you want it to look like. I.E. the normal page is [[Sir]], but you want it to read [[Sir|Sirs]], you would put <nowiki>[[Sir|Sirs]]</nowiki>
 
====External Links====
 
*If you want to add an external link, rather something that is not on the wiki, you would put only one [ before and one ] after. it would appear as [http://www.amtwiki.org].
 
**If you want it to say something you would add a space after the web address, and then type what you want it to look like. I.E. <nowiki>[http://www.amtwiki.org AmtWiki] would look like </nowiki> [http://www.amtwiki.org AmtWiki]
 
====Images====
 
*First load your picture into the database by using [[Special:Upload|this form]]
 
*Then place the syntax <nowiki>[[Image:"your image name".jpg]]</nowiki> onto your page where you want the picture to go.
 
**"your image name" is whatever you named the image when you uploaded it.
 
*To re-size the image, add |"XXX"px after the .jpg
 
**"XXX" equals the desired pixel width of your image
 
*To align your picture with a certain part of your page add |"Location" after the .jpg
 
**"Location" is the place you want it aligned to: Left, Right, or Center
 
====Categories====
 
*To link to a category, simply put <nowiki>[[:category:"name of category"|]] </nowiki>where you want it to link.
 
*To add a page to a category add the text <nowiki>[[Category:"name of category"]]</nowiki> to the bottom of the page.
 
====Bullets====
 
*To add bullets to your page, add them in the following manner:
 
<pre>*blah
 
**Blah
 
***Blah
 
**blah
 
*blah
 
*blah
 
**Blah</pre>
 
It will then look like:
 
*blah
 
**Blah
 
***Blah
 
**blah
 
*blah
 
*blah
 
**Blah
 
====Signing your posts====
 
*If you wish to sign your post simply add <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> after your post.
 
**'''Please remember to sign in before doing so'''
