This '''Wiki Guide''' will teach you everything you need to know to become a contributor and to start creating and editing articles.

== What is a Wiki? ==
A Wiki is an online encyclopaedia that anybody can edit. Unlike a blog or traditional website, almost everything on a Wiki is collaborative and community maintained. This Wiki exists to capture the history of players, places, buildings, factions and everything else that exists within [[Legendary Hardcore]]. It is comprised of hundreds of articles and files, and managed by over 400 users.

Our Wiki is built upon these core principles:

* '''Anybody can contribute'''. No matter who you are, you can [[Special:CreateAccount|create an account]] and begin contributing instantly. There is no application process and no prior experience is expected from contributors.

* '''Articles belong to everyone.''' No single person 'owns' an article. It is expected and encouraged that other contributors change and improve articles over time. It is not a critique if someone makes changes to an article or section that you created!
* '''Every edit matters'''. No edit is too small. Fixing typos, grammatical errors and inaccuracies are some of the most important contributions that can be made on the Wiki.
* '''Edits are iterative.''' You don't need to spend hours writing a long, detailed article in one sitting. The best way to contribute is to make small, frequent additions. If you are in a rush, even adding a bullet point summary of information to an article is a valuable addition that future contributors can expand upon.
* '''The Wiki is a network.''' Linking is what brings the Wiki together. Add a link when you mention a player, faction or other noteworthy topic in an article. Even if that page doesn't yet exist, it signifies to other contributors that a new article should be created.
* '''Be objective and neutral.''' Wiki articles must be factual and impartial. Contributions cannot be influenced by rivalries and drama, and should not contain dramatised recollection of events.

== Create an account ==
[[Special:UserLogin|Authenticate with Discord]] to create an account. If you have an existing account created with an email and password, you can log in [https://wiki.legendaryhc.org/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&usepassword=1 here].

== Tutorial: Editing an article ==
Editing Wiki articles is easy with the '''Visual Editor.''' This tutorial will show you how to use some of the most important features of the visual editor.

To get started:

# Open the [[Main Page|Legendary Hardcore Wiki]] in a new tab. ''Tip: you can '''Ctrl + click''' ('''⌘ + click''' on Mac) a link to open it in a new tab.''
# Go to the search bar in the top right corner of the page. Start typing the word '''Sandbox'''- you will notice that it appears in suggested results, indicating that the page exists. The [[sandbox]] is a page for experimenting with editing and you will use it in this tutorial to experiment with the visual editor.
# When you visit the sandbox article, you will see the following links at the top of the page: '''Read, Edit, Edit Source, View History'''. For now, click '''Edit,''' which will open the Visual Editor. You will learn about Edit Source and View History later.

=== The visual editor ===
The visual editor is similar to most Word Processors and lets you see your changes in real time before saving. The toolbar at the top of the page gives you access to various formatting options and structural elements. The sandbox will probably have some existing content inside it, and in this part of the tutorial you will make your first contribution to an existing article. Go to the end of the article and press enter to add a new line.
[[File:Headings Menu.png|thumb|The dropdown menu from which headings can be selected]]

==== Sections ====
For this tutorial, you'll be adding a new section to the sandbox article. Sections are used to organise an article and make it easier for readers to find what they are looking for. Without sections, a long wiki article would be a big, difficult to navigate wall of text. Sections and subsections are added to the automatically generated Table of Contents at the top of an article.

# Sections are marked with headings. To add a heading, click the dropdown menu at the top of the page that says '''Paragraph''' and choose '''Heading'''.
# Type out your section name- for this tutorial, use this format ''"(your name)'s first edit".''
# Press enter to return to the paragraph format. Paragraph text is used for writing the bulk of an article- write a sentence using paragraph text (it doesn't need to be meaningful - you can write 'This is a paragraph' if you can't think of anything)
# Sometimes it's necessary to divide a section in to subsections. For example, an article about a player may have a 'History' section that is subdivided down to 'Early History' and 'Late History'. Press enter to enter a new line and, just as you did before, add a sub-heading to the article by clicking Paragraph from the top of the page, but this time select '''Sub-heading 1'''. You can name this sub-heading whatever you would like, or you can just call it 'Sub heading' for this tutorial.
# Press enter again to return to paragraph format

==== Formatting ====
The visual editor can easily format text. Use bold and italic text sparingly and only when necessary.
{| class="wikitable"
|+Formatting guide
!Valid use cases
!Invalid use cases
|-
|Making the first mention of the article title (and synonyms) '''bold'''
e.g.
'''ExamplePlayer,''' also known as '''ExampleAlias''', was a player known for...
|Attempting to make sections stand out or eye catching by making them '''bold'''.
e.g.
'''ExamplePlayer is the best and most feared pvper on the server.'''
|-
|Making the title of a book or other work of art ''italic'' if it is not a link (for example, if the work has already been linked in the article)
e.g.
ExamplePlayer is known for writing ''ExampleBook.''
|Attempting to make sections stand out or eye catching by making them ''italic''.
e.g.
''ExamplePlayer is the best and most feared pvper on the server.''
|-
|Making Non-English phrases or terms ''italic.''
e.g.
''Algum BR?'' is a phrase commonly used by Brazilian players.
|Underlining, <s>strikethrough</s>, superscript and subscript text. There are very few valid use cases for these- don't use them!
e.g.
ExamplePlayer has <s>100 player kills</s> 101 player kills.

|}

# Write 'This text is bold, this text is italic'
# Highlight the word 'bold' and click the '''''A''''' text to '''Paragraph''' to open the formatting menu. Select '''bold'''.
# Highlight the word 'italic' and do the same again, but this time select '''italic'''.

''Tip: you can '''Ctrl + B''' ('''⌘ + B''' on Mac) to make text bold and '''Ctrl + I''' ('''⌘ + I''' on Mac) to make text italic.''

==== Linking ====
Linking allows you to connect articles and makes it easy for readers to jump between topics. Blue links indicate an article exists, red links indicate an article does not yet exist and purple links indicate that an article exists and you have already visited it before. In this part of the tutorial you will provide a link in your Sandbox section back to this Wiki Guide.

# On a new line type 'I finished the Visual Editor tutorial in the Wiki Guide'
# Highlight 'Wiki Guide' and click the link icon next to '''''A''''' at the top of the page.
# Use the search bar to find Wiki Guide. '''Note that Wiki pages are case sensitive- Wiki guide will appear as a valid link, but Wiki Guide will not!'''
# Make sure your link is valid (blue) and click done

=== Saving changes ===
Now that you've completed the visual editor tutorial, you just need to save your changes.

# Click the blue 'Save changes...' button in the top right of the page.
# A brief summary of changes must always be applied to edits on the Wiki. In the summary box, type "Added section while completing the Visual Editor tutorial"
# Click 'Save changes'

'''Congratulations on making your first Wiki contribution!'''

== Tutorial: Creating an article ==
{{warning|1=Articles should not be created outside of the main namespace. Do not add the prefix '''User:''' before an article name about a player.}}When you've learnt how to edit articles and familiarised yourself with the visual editor, you are ready to create your first article. This tutorial will assume that you are creating an article about yourself, but you are free to create an article about another topic.

Before creating a new article, check that it doesn't already exist. Enter your article name in the search bar and review the results- the suggested results will return page title matches, but will not capture similar articles that exist under a different name. Make sure to check through the full list of search results. For example, if you are creating an article about a player with several alises or username changes, make sure to search each name and confirm that an article on the player doesn't already exist.

When you have verified that a similar page doesn't already exist, click "Create the page "(article name)" at the top of the search results page.

=== Structure and style ===
Every wiki article is different, but most follow a standard structure and style. A consistent structure means that Wiki articles are:

* '''Easier to navigate as a user'''. Readers are easily able to locate specific information where they predict it to be.
* '''Better to maintain as a contributor.''' Contributors can add information to articles without having to redesign or rearrange existing content. Articles with a familiar structure are more likely to attract contributions, and therefore more likely to become a better article.
* '''Easier to discover.''' Well structured articles are more likely to appear in search engine results.
* '''More likely to be trusted.''' Messy, inconsistent articles feel unreliable to readers. Professional looking and consistently structured articles are more likely to be relied on as a source of information.

This tutorial will show you how to adopt the Legendary Hardcore structure and style when creating your article.

=== Category ===
Articles can be categorised and sub-categorised, making them easier to discover. It is essential that a new article is assigned to one of the six main categories, as well as to any sub-categories to which the article relates:

* [[:Category:Players]]
** [[:Category:Admins]]
** [[:Category:Dead Players]]
** [[:Category:Inactive Players]]
** [[:Category:Living Players]]
* [[:Category:Groups]]
** [[:Category:Active Groups]]
** [[:Category:Disbanded Groups]]
** [[:Category:Inactive Groups]]
* [[:Category:Events]]
** [[:Category:Admin Events]]
** [[:Category:Ceremonies]]
** [[:Category:Conflicts]]
** [[:Category:Deaths]]
** [[:Category:Milestones]]
** [[:Category:Natural Events]]
* [[:Category:Locations]]
** [[:Category:Establishments]]
** [[:Category:Infrastructure]]
** [[:Category:Landmarks]]
** [[:Category:Settlements]]
** [[:Category:Structures]]
* [[:Category:Culture]]
** [[:Category:Demographics]]
** [[:Category:Map Art]]
** [[:Category:Technology]]
** [[:Category:Traditions]]

[[File:Category Menu.png|thumb|Categories in the page options dropdown menu]]
To add a category to your new article:

# Select the menu icon ('''☰''') from the top right of the toolbar
# Click '''Categories'''
# Under 'Add a category to this page', enter the main category and any relevant subcategories. For example, if you are making an article about yourself and you are alive on the server, enter '''Players''' and '''Living Players.'''
# Click '''Apply Changes'''

=== Infobox ===
[[File:Player Infobox Example.png|thumb|An example of a player infobox.]]
An infobox is a table displayed at the top of an article containing summarised information about the article topic. Infoboxes allow readers to quickly locate important facts or statistics at a glance. There are six types of infobox on the Wiki for each of the six main categories:

* [[:Category:Players|Players]] → [[Template:PlayerInfobox|PlayerInfobox]]
* [[:Category:Groups|Groups]] → [[Template:GroupInfobox|GroupInfobox]]
* [[:Category:Events|Events]] → [[Template:EventInfobox|EventInfobox]]
* [[:Category:Locations|Locations]] → [[Template:LocationInfobox|LocationInfobox]]
* [[:Category:Culture|Culture]] → [[Template:CultureInfobox|CultureInfobox]]

Almost all articles should contain an infobox. To add an infobox to your article:

# Select '''Insert''' from the toolbar at the top of the page and choose '''Template'''
# Enter the correct infobox name from the list above (e.g. PlayerInfobox)
# Fill out the mandatory fields. For PlayerInfobox this will be Status, Playtime, Join Date and Join Number. Each of these values can be found in the [[Player Statistics]] table if you do not know them- simply search for your username with '''Ctrl + F''' ('''⌘ + F''' on mac).
# Additional fields can be selected from the left sidebar (e.g. Death Date, Death Cause, etc. if applicable)
# Adding an image to your infobox is a great way to make your article look more professional. To add an image:
## Prepare a photo. '''If you are making an article about a player, prioritise using in-game screenshots of the player instead of renders of the player's skin.'''
## In a new tab, [[Special:Upload|Upload]] your photo, give it a descriptive '''Destination filename''' and brief '''Summary''' (e.g. A photo of ExamplePlayer taken in January 2026) and press upload.
## Go back to your infobox and tick '''Image''' from the left sidebar
## In the field that appears, enter the '''Destination filename''' (e.g. ExampleImage.png)
# Once you have filled in all the relevant fields, click '''Insert''' to add your infobox.

=== Introduction ===
[[File:Wiki Plugin.png|thumb|An example of a Wiki article preview displayed from within Minecraft]]
After adding your infobox, write a brief introduction that summarises the content that will follow in the article. For consistency, make the first mention of your article title (and any synonyms) bold.

An example of an introduction for the article ExamplePlayer could be:

'''ExamplePlayer''', also known as '''Example''' and '''Player''', was a player known for founding '''Example Town'''. ExamplePlayer was killed by '''ExamplePlayer2''' in January 2026.

Legendary Hardcore uses a custom plugin that allows the introduction of an article to be previewed from within Minecraft. For this reason, it is good practice to keep your introduction under 250 characters so that it is not truncated.

=== Sections and main content ===
Sections are used to organise an article into logical chunks. The sections you decide to use will differ by the subject and content of your article, but a generic example for an article about a player could be:

* History
** Early life
** Founding of a town
** Death
* Notable achievements
* Allegiances

=== Display title ===
By default, the Wiki normalises article names to ensure that they are easily linkable. Unfortunately, this means that:

* The first letter of an article name is automatically capitalised
* Underscores are removed from article names and replaced with spaces

If you are creating an article about a player called _'''example_player''', the Wiki will convert this to '''Example player'''. If you want to preserve the original format in your article name:

# Select the menu icon ('''☰''') from the top right of the toolbar
# Click '''Advanced Settings'''
# Enter your preferred article name in '''Display Title'''
# Click '''Apply Changes'''

Be aware that when searching for or linking to the article, a Wiki user will need to use the normalised article name (e.g. '''Example player''')

=== Saving changes ===
When the sections of your new article, take a moment to proof read it and check for errors. When you are happy:

# Click the blue 'Save changes...' button in the top right of the page.
# A brief summary of changes must always be applied to edits on the Wiki. In the summary box, type "Added section while completing the Visual Editor tutorial"
# Click 'Save changes'

'''Congratulations on making your first Wiki article!'''

A real raccoon

A.real.raccoon: lore

a_real_raccoon was an active member of [[Legendary Hardcore]] for a short amount of time, never having graduated [[gramedom]]. Her stay was short, but fun.

{{PlayerInfobox|status=Dead|playtime=19.57 hours|join_date=26-08-2026 09:51:35|join_num=43712|other_names=|allegiances=[[zxBAMSEzx]], farming village started by [[testerugd]]|image=A real raccoon.png|quote=-1000 64 -4050 feel free to use my old base and loot the chests :3|player_name=a_real_raccoon|death_date=30-08-2026 06:54:08|death_cause=a_real_raccoon was shot by Skeleton|death_location=farming village started by [[testerugd]], adopted by [[zxBAMSEzx]]|head_status=[[zxBAMSEzx]] holds the head|last_will=keep on working on the village, keep on being friendly}}

== Early History ==

=== The Beginning ===
a_real_raccoon first joined the server on 26th August 2026. She spawned atop an oak tree at midnight, cowering in a crouched down position, terrified of the mobs making noise around her. She took this lovely time to write the first page of her now-lost journal; "please help me i'm so terrified it's so dark".

As the night passed, a_real_raccoon used a D20 to choose a random direction to run towards in hope of finding a peaceful abandoned peace with a farm set up. She witnessed many long-abandoned bases, and kept running.

=== First Base ===
Her first base was surrounded by old gravestones, and a nearly-finished nether portal. It stood on an isolate archipelago, with a small wheat farming area and a lovely spot to fish from. She immediately dug down, and found a massive amount of amethyst before even smelting iron. That amethyst served well for the foundation of the base; just far enough not to get blown up by evil-spirited players, just shiny enough to satisfy the need of not using wood for building.

Soon afterwards, a_real_raccoon dug all the way down to bedrock, and lined all the way with deepslate stairs for ease of access for future miners. The harvest for diamonds was plenty, as she later died with 30+ diamonds in her inventory.

She spent most of her time on the server mining, fishing, cooking fish, and improving the base by replacing amethyst blocks with light blue glazed terracotta instead. The base features a small living area with a stained glass ceiling, oxidised copper doors and trapdoors.

=== Player Interactions ===
a_real_raccoon stayed solitary out of the fear of being scammed by a [[Player-killer hunter]]. In her words, "a stupid decision". She was somewhat active in chat, taking part in random conversations and welcoming new players. While adventuring near her base, she found a book written by [[zxBAMSEzx]]. She complimented the book, and soon after [[zxBAMSEzx]] had written the second version of the book, stating he would be making deliveries of the book to willing readers. a_real_raccoon came to the conclusion that the player was trusted, and surely wouldn't cause any harm. She sent her coordinates. The delivery arrived within minutes, including a complimentary gift of 2 totems. [[zxBAMSEzx]] recommended relocating to another place, further from the spawn.

=== New Adventure ===
Having taken the advice to heart, a_real_raccoon decided to relocate to the farming village specified in the book. The road was long, and perilous. The only logical way was to travel by nether. Following the coordinates, she came to a standstill– she had to get to the other side of a massive lava lake. Thankfully someone had left a harnessed strider alone. Hopping on the slavered strider, she soon realised the strider was refusing her commands. He was happily striding in the very circle of a lava lake, and she had to get off fast. Failing to place blocks while riding the strider, she fell into the lava. A totem saved her. The rest of the way was done ''fast'' and panicked.

Finally back in the overworld, having trusted a random portal not to be a trap, she found the village. It's a nice little village, though sadly not with immediate fishing access. She got to work instantly, harvesting and planting wheat crops, planting some potatoes, and building a composting set-up. Her new accommodation was a finished house in dire need of something special... copper. Copper door, copper lanterns, copper stairs, copper blocks. After having "coppered it up" to a satisfactory degree, she began forming a stairway to bedrock inside the house. That is where she found her end. Out of blocks, one totem popped, a_real_raccoon panicked and didn't have the time to set the second totem to off-hand.

She had planned on joining a faction interested in building an useful village for like-minded players to enjoy.
