== Advanced editing == | |||
Once you're comfortable with basic editing, you can start practicing more advanced tools, such as working with modules and templates. You can learn how these work by reading their documentation and looking at the code of existing pages. | |||
A template is a wiki feature that can display information in different styles that are standard across the wiki, from [[Template:HeroIcon|icons]] to [[Template:Infobox hero|infoboxes]]. Templates use curly brackets <code>{{}}</code>. Most templates are built with modules. | |||
Modules are tools that can take information from Data pages, which are updated with game files, to automate much of the process of updating the wiki. For example, [[Module:HeroData]] takes information from [[Data:HeroData.json]] and is used to automate hero stats in various pages. Modules are built with the Lua programming language and use curly brackets with an "#invoke:" definition <code>{{#invoke:}}</code>. | |||
For more specific help, it is recommended to look at the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents Mediawiki documentation], as it all also applies to this wiki. | |||
