Welcome to the OUNS help page

Formatting

First of all, you should be aware that this is a wiki that anyone can edit, so we keep track of the changes and are able to restore any mistake you could make. So don't worry if you mess up, just contact an experienced member like 4m or Mr. Bougo, or use the discussion area.
You can find more info on the syntax used by DokuWiki on this page. Feel free to ask for help on the discussion area.

Creating a new page

Read the formatting rules before creating a page

A page's name can contain letters, digits, and, only “inside” the name, the “special characters” . - and _. That means you can't call a page “_foo”, it will be renamed to “foo”, though “f_oo” is allowed.

Clans

To have a consistent structure on the wiki, there are some rules that should always be respected:

  • All the clan pages should respect the template's basic structure, though you are allowed to add/remove detail fields. Basically, anything under the page's title (where you put your player name) is up to you.
  • Don't create namespaces for your clan (that is, don't use a : in the page's name)
  • Create your clan page using the new clan page form on the clan list, to be sure it's put in the right place.
    • Use lowercase characters only.
    • If your clan's tag is one character, use the clan's full name if it exists. If it doesn't, use a related name.
    • If it contains more than one character, use it as the page name.
    • If it contains special characters, replace or omit them in the page name. Don't omit them if that leaves only one character.
    • Spaces are allowed, but not recommended. So are underscores (_), hyphens (-) and periods (.).
    • Examples:
Name of the clan Tag of the clan Page name Reason
Monks of Nexuiz [MoN] mon All alphanumeric characters.
Lunetist [+] lunetist Special character → full clan name.
? [?] questionmark The clan has no full name.
question A shorter alternative.
Caprisun Club [c$un] csun The $ looks like a s, so it makes sense to use this instead.
mAD' mAD' mad There I remove the special character.
C Sharp C# csharp There is a special character but if I remove it leaves only a C, so I use the full name.
c sharp If I absolutely need the space, I use it.

Players

Player page names should respect the same rules as the clan page (the clan tag rules are applied to the name), along with this:

  • Create your clan page using the new player page form on the player list, to be sure it's put in the right place.
  • Don't include clan information in the name, as this can change and renaming pages is a bit annoying and risky.
  • Please be sure that you want to keep this page name. You can still change your nickname in the title of the page.
  • If your nickname conflicts with another, add a “2” at the end of your page name, for example. If the player is not active anymore, you can ask an admin to rename him.

Adding a clan or a player to the list

First of all, you have to create the player/clan page, read the section above for more info.
When you are done with that, go to the clans or the players page, depending on what kind of page you just created, and hit the “edit this page” button. There you will see the page's code. Don't be afraid, it's not so hard to modify it.

  • If you are modifying the players page:

Navigate to the first letter of your nexuiz name (not your clan!) and add a new line where it should be. You must respect the alphabetical order. Then all you have to do is type your new page name between two pairs of square brackets, like this:

[[player]]

It's that simple!
Note that it will show up in the list as the title you set in your player page, so if you change this title don't forget to move the link in the player list to respect the alphabet.

  • If you are modifying the clans page:

The process is pretty much the same as for players, but you need to put them in the category they belong to. Also, you need to insert two spaces, one asterisk, and another space, then your clan's page name in two pairs of square brackets, like this:

  * [[clan]]
