Editing BTA-Mirror:Editing guide

This is the guide for users who wish to edit the wiki. This page is not finished yet, and is subject to alterations as changes to formatting and rules occur. It's recommended to join the Discord before touching anything within the wiki, as there you can get assistance on how to edit, as well as general precautions for things such as misinformation.

'''Note to all editors: You are allowed to publish an unfinished page, HOWEVER, it must be made into a stub page using [[Template:Stub]].'''

'''You can find a list of stubs [[:Category:Article stubs|here]]. Feel free to add missing information or fix up any misinformation, primarily in stub pages but also outside of them. Don't remove any stub templates unless you're certain the information in the page is sufficient and factually correct.'''

== Note for Redundant Pages ==
It is best to avoid redundant pages about blocks, items, or other things that could be grouped together into singular pages. A redundant page might include an entire page for the Chirp music disc, Pink Wooden Planks, or Basalt Diamond Ore.

== Formatting Guides ==
For a general formatting guide, see the [[Better than Adventure! Wiki:Style guide|Style Guide]] to know how to properly format and layout text, images, headings, etcetera.

=== Page Layouts ===
For pages that share very similar layouts, there are specific pages that detail just the layout and nothing else. These usually pertain to things such as blocks, items, etcetera.

* [[Block Template]]
* [[Item Template]]
* More to come eventually...

==Templates==
There are numerous templates used throughout the wiki that are used for specific areas where formatting and CSS styling would be beneficial. They allow for easier editing of things such as crafting recipes, infoboxes and contents. Below is a list of important templates to know and understand:
