Wiki Content Generator

Hi. It doesn't appear that you don't know about the wiki content generator, which does lots of this for you. You can get to it by clicking here. Thanks for helping update pages to 4.86. --Alex 15:28, 17 February 2012 (CET)

Oh, right, seems useful! Can you, please give some tips on how it works? Quite a new on wiki editing

How it works is messy so I wont go into that. I can tell you how to use it though. You've been editing ship pages, so click 'Ships', then select the ship you want to get information for. Select wikitext format instead of HTML format, and click 'Get Ship Info'. You'll see that most of the page has been generated for you. With ship pages you should note that most ships already have an image parameter set which should not be overwritten by the content generator's version. (I might move all the files to where the content generator expects them to be, but not now.) The same goes for the maxcruise parameter and all the reviews in the Handling section of each page. (I might also rename those sections to Reviews at some point as well.) Also remember that the content generator does not link, for example, faction pages (It does Liberty Navy instead of [[Liberty Navy]]). You'll need to link those. --Alex 15:40, 17 February 2012 (CET)
