	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`
-	- 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.
