Help:Everything: Revision history

From SCPF Substrata Wiki

Page created 14:44, 26 September 2026 by Setup (Initial help page)

+This page shows everything the wiki can do, so you can copy from it. **Everything here is an example.** None of it is a real rule.
+> [!note]
+> Open this page's Edit tab and switch the editor to Markdown to see how each part is written.
+
+## Text
+
+This is **bold**, this is *italic*, and this is `inline code`.
+
+### Lists
+
+- A bullet point
+- Another one
+ - A nested one
+
+1. First step
+2. Second step
+
+### Tables
+
+| Example clearance | Example meaning |
+|---|---|
+| Level 1 | Made-up example row |
+| Level 2 | Another made-up row |
+
+On phones, wide tables scroll sideways inside their own box.
+
+#### A level 4 heading
+
+Headings go from level 2 (the big ones with a line under them) down to level 4. The page title is level 1, so don't use it in the body.
+
+## Quotes and callouts
+
+> An ordinary quote looks like this.
+
+> [!note]
+> A note box. Start a quote with `[!note]` on its first line.
+
+> [!warning]
+> A warning box. Start a quote with `[!warning]` on its first line.
+
+## Wiki links
+
+There are three ways to link to another page:
+
+- By rulebook and number: [[FL 3.2]]
+- By slug, inside the same rulebook: [[Help:Everything]]
+- By rulebook and slug: [[CoE:Conflict_of_Interest]]
+
+You can change the link text with a pipe: [[Help:Everything|this page]].
+
+Links to pages that don't exist show up red. [[FL 3.2]] and [[CoE:Conflict_of_Interest]] above are red because no rules have been written yet. They turn blue once those pages exist. This one will stay red on purpose: [[This_Page_Does_Not_Exist]].
+
+The `[[ ]]` button in the editor toolbar searches for a page and inserts the link for you.
+
+## Tags
+
+Tags say who a rule applies to. This page has every tag so you can see them all, just under the title. On a real rule, tick only the ones that apply. Click a tag to see every rule that has it.
+
+OMNI covers the O5 Council, the studio developers and the Administrator.
+
+## Numbers
+
+- Rules need a number such as `3.2`. Sections can have one (`3`), and articles don't.
+- A rule goes under the section with the longest matching number, so rule 3.2 sits under section 3.
+- A number can't change once the page is saved. If a rule needs a new number, create the new rule and retire the old one.
+- `/3.2` on a rulebook's site jumps straight to that rule. Searching `FL 3.2` does the same.
+
+## Retiring
+
+Nothing gets deleted. When a rule stops applying, open its Edit tab and use **Retire this page** at the bottom. You can say which rule replaces it.
+
+A retired rule stays readable with a grey banner that gives the date and the replacement. Its number is never used again.
+
+## Old versions
+
+Every save is kept. The History tab lists every change with who made it and why, and a diff against the version before it.
+
+Add `?at=` and a date to see a page as it was that day, for example `/Help:Everything?at=2026-09-26`. A yellow banner shows you're looking at an old version. The **Permanent link** in a rule's infobox gives you today's version in this form, which is handy for rulings you'll want to look back on.
+
+## Discord embeds
+
+Paste a rule link into Discord and the preview shows:
+
+- the rulebook name, and a sidebar colour that's different for each rulebook
+- the rule number and title, like `FL 3.2 — Detaining`
+- who the rule applies to, then the start of the rule text
+- the rulebook's icon
+
+Retired rules start with `[RETIRED]`, and `?at=` links end with `(as of 14 May 2026)`. Discord caches previews, so if one looks out of date after an edit, add `?v=2` to the end of the link.
