Basic Wiki Formatting
In general, when writing a wiki page, you should write in the 3rd person, and have a neutral stance on the topic. Although this is just a suggestion, and you may write however you please.
The formatting rules that Wikipedia uses is a good baseline if you don't know where to start. It usually looks something like this:
Page Name
The first lines of the page usually have a quick 2-3 sentence summary of what the page is about, and includes basic information that the reader should know about the topic in question. It usually has no headers and important words are bold and anything referencing another page is linked to. The page then usually starts with a general topic and dives into a couple of smaller topics that are related to the general one. This is done with a big header and sub header which can be done with ==Big Header==, and ===Sub Header===
First Big Header
First Sub Header
Second Sub Header
Third Sub Header
Second Big Header
Fourth Sub Header
Fifth Sub Header
Templates
The BetaMC Wiki also has a couple of templates that can be used in pages. These vary on how to implement, so this page will stay updated with all templates and how they are used
Infobox Town
{{Infobox Town
| caption = Cascadia
| image = CascadiaMain.png
| image_size = 400px
| owner = aq2a
| assistants = Orknarok_666
| members = 5
| founded = March, 2025
| status = Active
}}
Player Head Icon
If you want to spice up wiki entries about towns, events, server lore etc. where players are mentioned by name, you can use the following trick:
At the moment, it still looks like this: KingDaKa4
Now add https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png[[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]].
It should look like this: https://minotar.net/helm/KingDaKa4/16.png [[User:KingDaKa4|KingDaKa4]].
The result will look like this: 
KingDaKa4
