From Arms of God Wiki
Basics
Click the pencil icon at the top right of any page to open the editor. A dropdown shows the editing options available for that page.
Creating a page
To create a new page, navigate to its URL. Replace the last path segment with the new page name. Example: a new page named "Foo Bar" lives at https://armsofgod.wiki.spellsandguns.com//Foo_Bar.
The page will show "There is currently no text in this page." Click "create this page" to begin editing.
Page-name limitations apply (trailing spaces are trimmed, etc.). See MediaWiki: PAGENAMEE encoding for the full rules.
Editing a page
Visual Edit — an experimental WYSIWYG editor. For the most part the rendered content matches the live page. Has limited use on Template / Module / Data pages.
Edit Source — opens a wikitext editor with syntax highlighting. "Show preview" lets you see the effects before saving. If you enter an empty-looking page, try Edit Source — there's likely content hidden inside <includeonly> tags.
Uploading an image
Special:Upload — single-image upload. The destination filename determines what the file is called on the wiki.
Special:BatchUpload — multi-image upload. Uploaded files use their source filenames automatically. Conflicting names overwrite existing files; be careful.
Broken file links appear as grey File:Missing example.png links. Clicking them opens the upload page with the destination filename pre-filled.
Conventions
Most pages on this wiki are bot-published from the game's data. Modules, Templates, Data: pages, and per-instance detail pages are regenerated on a schedule (typically after game patches).
Safe-to-edit rules:
- Detail pages (one per item / character / etc.) — edits persist. First-write-only publish: once a detail page exists, the bot preserves any edits you make. Your prose, screenshots, and trivia survive every re-publish. - Module / Template / Data: pages — edits don't persist. These get overwritten on every scheduled re-publish. Cosmetic edits (formatting, comments) won't break anything but won't survive either. What gets re-emitted is the data-bound variable names, parameter lists, and JSON keys — so don't rename those, even temporarily. See the bot-published content catalog for the full list.
