The wiki is developed by Nikita Ivanov, Olle Landin, and Martin Magni.

This wiki helps users learn more about Fancade and its game-making tools. Pages are written by Fancade users themselves. Maybe you want to help improve the wiki too?

Rules

Yes? You'd like to contribute? Great! Here's some advice to help you get started editing.

Write about Fancade

The wiki is about Fancade, so try to stay on topic.

Create an appropiate page

Before creating a brand new wiki page, check if:

• The page already exists, just with a slightly different name?
• The info doesn't fit better as a note on an existing page?
• The page is likely to be useful to other Fancade users?

Don't save unfinished edits

If you're not done yet, but you can't continue working right now, you can always quit the browser and get back to editing later (the wiki will remember the state of the page and will prompt you to recover it when you begin editing again).

Don't leave unanswered questions

If you're not sure about something, don't ask future editors to correct you in the page:

Constraints are very difficult to learn. (Maybe it's just me?)

Those who can answer your question will rarely visit the page, so you will end up throwing your question at readers'. Feel free to join our Discord server and ask your question there, in order to eventually provide the most accurate information to readers!

How-to

Want to help but have no idea how it's done? Read below to learn how to format text and create new pages.

Create a page

In the Wiki page, there is an ability to create new pages, simply by clicking "New". A pop-up with the title "Create New Page" should show up.

Create a page name with the appropriate title.

If you are writing it in a different section (e.g. Build) write <section>/<title> (e.g. Build/Set Variable) to create it within this section.

Now you can write a Wiki page! After you have written it all, click "Preview" to make sure everything looks correct.

Style a page

The Wiki supports the formatting syntax called "Markdown". You can easily emphasize text (you can make text bold, italic, bolditalic, and strikethrough, but not underline because markdown does not support underlining text), make lists, add links, insert images and even make tables! For more information, read this.

Basics

Add link

To insert a link, you can:

Wrap page name in square brackets	[[Number]]	Number
Wrap page name in square brackets and put a suffix	[[Number]]s	Numbers
Wrap page name in square brackets and set displayed text	[[One|Number]]	One
Wrap URL in square brackets	[[http://fancade.com/]]	http://fancade.com/
Wrap URL in square brackets and set displayed text	[[Fancade|http://fancade.com/]]	Fancade

If your page is inside of a folder, the link's destination will also be inside of it. This can cause problems if, say, you want to link from Script/How do I add numbers? to Blocks/Add Number. You can avoid this by putting a slash at the stsrt of the target page name, e.g. [[/Blocks/Add Number]].

Make list

To insert a list element, put *, + or - at the beginning of a line. For example,

* Fancade
* is the fanmade
* arcade

will be

• Fancade
• is the fanmade
• arcade

Add image

To add an image, drag-n-drop it into the edit form. (It will be uploaded to /uploads/<filename>)

To insert an existing image, you wrap the image path/URL in square brackets (like you do with regular links/URLs) to insert it directly in the text.

[[uploads/image.jpg]]

You can also upload an image by clicking "Upload" button in edit mode.

Delete a page

Deleting a page is possible, but restricted. Ping one of the Fanmods on the Discord server and suggest the deletion to them.

Revert a change

Go to the page's history (through link in the latest changes), check the commit, compare and revert.

Rename a page

Click Rename, and enter the new page name.

Sign out

There's no button to sign out (and seldom reason to). But if you clear the website data in your browser settings, you will be signed out. (It's a cookie?)

Notes

• You can switch between edit and preview mode with CTRL+Shift+P.
