This page will cover how to use some of the more advanced features that go into making articles on the wiki.

==Templates==
{{Main|Help:Templates}}
Templates are used to display the same information across multiple pages and to standardise formatting of the same information on pages for similar content.

Templates are located in the Template: namespace: their pages are prefixed by ''Template:'' followed by the template's name, e.g. [[Template:Cleanup]]. To add a template to a page, type the template's name between {{ }}. The template's name is the text after the colon symbol, e.g. the name for <nowiki>{{Template:Cleanup}}</nowiki> is Cleanup, so typing <nowiki>{{Cleanup}}</nowiki> would add that template to a page.

If you are not sure what templates you should use on a page then it is a good idea to check out existing articles for similar content to see what templates are used on them. You can also look at the template's page for documentation of how it should be used. Templates can be put into different parts of a page and more complex templates, such as infoboxes, contain fields which must be filled out.

Some commonly used templates are listed below; a more extensive list can be found on [[Help:Templates]].

* [[Template:Cleanup]] - an article needs attention, reasons may be specified.
* [[Template:Incomplete]] - an article is not complete.
* [[Template:Otheruses]] - link to another article which has a similar name to the current page.

* [[Template:Infobox Item]] - displays information about items
* [[Template:Infobox NPC]] - displays information about characters

;Navboxes
Navboxes are a type of template that aid navigation. They are placed at the bottom of a page and contain links to pages about related content. For example [[Template:Items]] contains links to all items in gemini station, while [[Template:Mods]] contains links to all pages related to the Mods. A navbox should be placed on each of the pages it lists. Adding a navbox is done in the same way as adding any other template. If you want to edit the contents of a navbox or create a new navbox see [[Gem Wiki:Editing/Navbox]].

==Categories==
{{Main|Gem Wiki:Categories}}
Categories group together pages and images which are related. They are helpful for maintenance and navigating the wiki. Categories can be added while editing a page, in a similar way to adding a file. Categories must always be added at the very bottom of a page, under any navboxes.

You can create a new category by making a new page with the prefix ''Category:''. Add [[Template:Categoryheader]] to the new category page and fill out the template to document what should be put into the category.

==Tables==
{{main|Gem Wiki:Editing/Tables}}
Tables can be made much more complicated than described in the basic guide. See the full table guide for details.

==Redirects and disambiguation==
{{Main|GSWiki:Redirecting|GSWiki:Disambiguations}}
Redirects take the reader to a specified target page when they are searched for or clicked on. For example the redirect ''Cav'' would take the user to the [[Character:Cav]] page if clicked on a page linking ''Cav'' or they searched for the abbreviation.

Redirects are used to help make navigating the wiki easier. They can be created for commonly used misspellings/abbreviations for content so that players are direct to the content they are searching for.

Creating a redirect is done by creating a new page and clicking the Redirect button ([[File:Advanced editing redirect button.png]]). This adds the text:

<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Insert text]]</nowiki>

Replace ''Insert text'' with the name of the page you want to redirect to.

Disambiguation pages are another type of page which aid in navigating the wiki. Sometimes a potential search term may refer to multiple articles - in this case it is helpful to create a disambiguation page which lists the pages that the reader may be looking for. See [[GSWiki:Disambiguations]] for information on how to create these pages.
