I just finished porting my forum posts Visual Guide to the game / client etc. to the wiki. ( current wiki entry )

While trying to make it user-friendly / look readable I encountered some difficulties, here is a list of things that gave me some serious headaches and I wasn't able to figure out on my own by reading the docs and using various searchengines:

  • The default font is serif and small, too small. Is it possible to use the same font for all of the wiki content ?
    The font used in "bullet lists" for example  (it is a "sans serif font") should be good in my opinion, maybe one or two points smaller ?
    Maybe it is just my browser setup that is broken, however all other websites look good, just the Daimonin wiki font and the side menu have a too small font regarding the rest of the site.
  • Anchors, I was trying to set up a sort of "Table of Contents" and also wanted to link certain topics to other content within the same page to make navigation easier. Is it possible to use anchors or is the preferred solution to use one "overview / content" page and link to the mentioned topics that are on their own page ?
  • Colored table content: In the forum version of the "character creation guide" I was able to use red / green font to make it more clear where certain races gain / lose stat points. When I try to use the color codes in the wiki table the doublequote (") breaks the whole table and the table code documented at the wikkawiki offiicial guide doesn't work.
  • Images in the wiki: This is just a minor point, at the moment images used in the wiki need to be centered or followed by several "linebreaks" to make them appear on their own "line", simply aligning them left and using "---" to make text appear below them ( not floating on the side ) isn't the ideal solution I think.

    As I am very new to wiki creating / editing I hope that I just missed the obvious, feel free to point me to the right way of doing it. Smiley
