Here I will attempt to show you what templates to use, and where to use them.

Gametag

It is very important that every page within the Runes of Magic wiki be a member of Category:Runes of Magic so that the search engine can see them without showing results for every other game in the system. To this end, be sure to add {{RoM}} somewhere on every page you create here. This will insert the RoM template on the page just like the gametag you see on this page in the upper-right position. This is not needed on pages that use one of the Information Box templates, as they all insert a Category tag automatically as part of what they do.

RoM also has a few options you can use, such as D for Dictionary, so be sure to take a look at the template page to familiarize yourself with the available options.

Linkers

In the Runes of Magic wiki, I have created a set of templates that are designed to extend the normal wiki linking. Colorization of item links is not working, yet, but I want to continue using these linkers for one very important reason... IF we later add a database to this game wiki, and the link styles change for the database'd records, I can just edit the linkers to adjust all the page names in the entire game. So if Item Name (RoM Item) later becomes RoM Item:Item Name, it is no big deal.

All linkers have the same basic format, with some additions to a few of them.

{{linker_name|page_name|display_text}}
