Welcome to the PotterworldMC wiki editing guide! We're excited to see your contributions. Please use the guide below when creating your page. There are a lot of pages on our wiki already, so feel free to use the edit menu of existing pages to view their formatting and copy a similar style (e.g. you can refer to existing quest pages when making a new page or edit).

Page Requirements & Advice

To ensure that all of our wiki pages are easily findable, all pages should include the following:

  • An infobox or imagebox using the relevant template. Review the template pages for how to use them, and select an image from the library. Want a new image? Submit a suggestion for our Scribe team to request one from the Arithmancers.
  • A category should be added using "[[Category: Name]]". You can find a list of all available categories here.
  • The page should be flagged as player-made to highlight your hard work! This can be done using "{{Playermade}}".
