This wiki emulates the markup syntax of two other wikis -- mediawiki and dokuwiki. Under the editing textarea, there is an Input format link. Click that, and a set of options will open up, showing you which format the page is currently using. You can also change it.
The default markup syntax is mediawiki, but much of the existing content on the wiki is written in dokuwiki syntax. This page itself uses mediawiki syntax. See formatting for examples using dokuwiki syntax.
The emulation of each syntax is incomplete. Each of them is missing various features, and has its own idiosyncracies (bugs).Page Naming
Most pages on this wiki use a pseudo namespace label as the first word. For example, all of the quest pages begin with the word quests. Additional words after that describe which quest the page covers. Words are separated by hyphens in the URL, and in the mediawiki syntax. Words are separates by spaces in the dokuwiki syntax.

The wiki strives to emulate the syntax described at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting but the emulation is incomplete.

page with multiple word name Table:
| Table | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Row 1 | abc | def |
| Row 2 | 123 | qwertyuiop |
Compact table:
| Table | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Row 1 | abc | def |
| Row 2 | 123 | qwertyuiop |
Table with column spanning:
| My header | ||
|---|---|---|
| abc | def | ghi |
Table with centered elements:
| Heading One | Heading Two |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 4 |
As you can see, the headers don't accept center-alignment; just the non-header elements. We can fake the headers using boldface:
| Heading One | Heading Two |
| 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 4 |
| Red foreground | Red background | Try fgcolor? |
The only colors that seem to work are background colors on single table elements.
Things that don't work
As stated above, the mediawiki emulation is incomplete.
The no markup feature, as you can see, does not work.
no markup in a pre-block doesn't work either!
That means we can't show you the syntax alongside the results. You'll have to click the "edit" link and read the syntax that way.
Redirects (#redirect directive) do not work at all. See thaloren or shaloren.
Strike-through text doesn't work.
The wiki engine will not put a blank line between sections. If you want some space between sections (and yes, you do want some space between sections) then you can put a line with a single space character right before the section header. This forces the wiki to put an empty pre-block followed by a "br /" tag. (Putting your own "br /" tag would work too -- see the "br /" tags between the tables in the previous section.)
| table | with | borders |
| does | not | work |
| whole | table | attributes |
| table | with | text-align:center |
| doesn't | work | either |
| Row | Attributes |
|---|---|
| this should | be italics |
Inline colors: #ff0000 (red) / red
Colors in table elements:| should be red | should be green |
| should be red | another try for red |
If the wiki engine breaks while parsing your page, the entire page will be non-rendered, and you'll get a blank page. You won't be told why it broke. Here's an example: totally-broken-three-line-example.
