I'm not too sure having all the sub-links in the Wiki page is a great idea. It gets a little bit too complicated. Unfortunately, I don't have a better idea. If anyone does, please speak up.

There's also some formatting issues.

If you edit a post, if your post is lengthy, it goes out of the box. Not to the next line.

Unless you are the first to post, it's really complicated. If you visit the Created Players page, and try to add more you'll see a table but the edit section will display it with a bunch of codes.

Yeah there's a few issues regarding the format when one sentence is too long, though I think once we figure out a common method to the format of the wiki those problems will be eliminated.

The problem with a very long post (success/season mode) is that there is so much information.

The page would be extremely long, and you'd be waiting for the entire page to load even with anchors to jump to content.

I understand it's a pain to click, and click, and click some more for things you're looking up, but by making each sub topic it's own page, it's easy to search for and easy to maintain when things change.

To avoid the formatting issue that's been hounding the current pages, don't use tabs or spaces at the beginning of lines. MediaWiki considers it "pre formatted text" and does not wrap the line.

How do post a category link?

I want to do something like the link to Ryan Soohoo's success mode guide.

I found another decent one.

Actually can one of you post it for me?

Here's where the info's from.:

to add a page to an existing category place this at the bottom of the page:

Code:
[[Category:<category name>]]


However, if you wish to supplement Ryan's code with new links (suggested, I'll rename the page in a bit too) you can add the links by simply copying the link into the page (auto convert URLs). The * is to make each link a bullet point.

Code:

Thanks.

I'm not very familiar with this stuff.
