Help:Editing

CheatEngine is a wiki, meaning that anyone can easily edit any unprotected page, and save those changes immediately to that page, making the alterations visible to every other reader. You do not even need to register to do this. After your first edit, you will be a CheatEngine editor!

Note: You can use the sandbox to experiment with page editing.

Your aswner lifts the intelligence of the debate.

Wiki markup

Wiki markup is the language you use to format a CheatEngine page; please see Editing for details on it, and Wikitext examples for a longer list of the possibilities of Wikitext.

Links and URLs

The anchor element, <a>, is not allowed. The following are used instead: [[ ]], [ ], ~~~~, ~~~, http, ISBN, RFC & {{ }}. See the table below.

Article link Renamed link Blend link Other page link Section link Example renamed links Create page link Navigation links Signing comments Redirects Wikimedia link

Linked and why User edits Categorize Category page link External links Wikimedia text link Book sources RFC number “As of” tag Media link Edit links

What it looks like	What you type
London has public transport. (Article link) A link to another Wiki article. Internally, the first letter of the target page is automatically capitalized and spaces are represented as underscores (typing an underscore in the link has the same effect as typing a space, but is not recommended). Thus the link above is to the URL en.CheatEngine.org/wiki/Public_transport, which is the CheatEngine article with the name "Public transport". See also Canonicalization.	London has [[public transport]].
San Francisco also has public transportation. (Renamed link) Same target, different name. The target ("piped") text must be placed first, then the text to be displayed, second.	San Francisco also has [[public transport|public transportation]].
San Francisco also has public transportation. (Blend link) Examples include buses, taxicabs, and trams. Endings are blended into the link. Exception: a trailing apostrophe (') and any characters following the apostrophe are not blended. Preferred style is to use this instead of a piped link, if possible. Blending can be suppressed by using <nowiki></nowiki> tags, which may be desirable in some instances. Example: a micro-second.	San Francisco also has [[public transport]]ation. Examples include [[bus]]es, [[taxicab]]s, and [[tram]]s. a [[micro-]]<nowiki>second</nowiki>
See the CheatEngine:Manual of Style. (Other page link) A link to another namespace.	See the [[CheatEngine:Manual of Style]].
CheatEngine:Manual of Style#Italics is a link to a section within another page. #Links and URLs is a link to another section on the current page. Italics is a piped link to a section within another page. The part after the number sign (#) must match a section heading on the page. Matches must be exact in terms of spelling, case, and punctuation. Links to non-existent sections are not broken; they are treated as links to the top of the page. Include "| link title" to create a stylish (piped) link title.	[[CheatEngine:Manual of Style#Italics]] is a link to a section within another page. [[#Links and URLs]] is a link to another section on the current page. [[CheatEngine:Manual of Style#Italics|Italics]] is a piped link to a section within another page.
(Example renamed links) Automatically hide stuff in parentheses: kingdom. Automatically hide namespace: Village pump. Or both: Manual of Style But not: [[CheatEngine:Manual of Style#Links|]] The server fills in the part after the pipe character (|) when you save the page. The next time you open the edit box you will see the expanded piped link. When previewing your edits, you will not see the expanded form until you press Save and Edit again. The same applies to links to sections within the same page (see previous entry). See Pipe trick for details.	Automatically hide stuff in parentheses: [[kingdom (biology)|]]. Automatically hide namespace: [[CheatEngine:Village pump|]]. Or both:[[CheatEngine:Manual of Style (headings)|]] But not:[[CheatEngine:Manual of Style#Links|]]
(Create page link) Links to pages that don’t exist yet look red: Template:CheatEngine:Community portal/Opentask/Requested articles You can create it by clicking on the link. To create a new page: Create a link to it on some other (related) page. Save that page. Click on the link you just made. The new page will open for editing. For more information, see starting an article and check out CheatEngine's naming conventions. Please do not create a new article without linking to it from at least one other article.	[[Name of page that does not exist yet]] is a red link.
(Navigation links) CheatEngine:How to edit a page is a link to this page. Self links appear as bold text when the article is viewed. Do not use this technique to make the article name bold in the first paragraph; see Article titles.	[[CheatEngine:How to edit a page]] is a link to this page.
(Signing comments) The character tilde (~) is used when adding a comment to a Talk page. You should sign your comment by appending four tildes (~~~~) to the comment so as to add your user name plus date/time: Patricia Zhang 13:40, Jan 14, 2007 (UTC) Adding three tildes (~~~) will add just your user name: Patricia Zhang and adding five tildes (~~~~~) gives the date/time alone: 13:40, Jan 14, 2007 (UTC) The first two both provide a link to your user page.	The character '''tilde''' (~) is used when adding a comment to a Talk page. You should sign your comment by appending four tildes (~~~~) to the comment so as to add your user name plus date/time: :~~~~ Adding three tildes (~~~) will add just your user name: : ~~~ and adding five tildes (~~~~~) gives the date/time alone: : ~~~~~
(Redirects) Redirect one article title to another by placing a directive like the one shown to the right on the first line of the article (such as at a page titled "USA"). It is possible to redirect to a section. For example, a redirect to United States#History will redirect to the History section of the United States page, if it exists.	#REDIRECT [[United States]] #REDIRECT [[United States#History]] will redirect to the [[United States]] page, to the History section, if it exists
(Wikimedia link) To connect, via interwiki link, to a page on the same subject in another language, put a link of the form: [[language code:Title]] near the bottom of the article. For example, in article "Plankton", which is available on a lot of other wikis, the interwiki link to the German CheatEngine looks like: [[:de:Plankton]] where the "de" is the language-code for "Deutsch" (the German language). It is recommended interwiki links be placed at the very end of the article. Interwiki links are not visible within the formatted article but, instead, appear as language links on the extreme left-margin column of a CheatEngine page (under menu section "languages"). Please see Interlanguage links and the Complete list of language wikis available.	[[:de:Plankton]] [[:es:Plancton]] [[:ru:Планктон]] [[:simple:Plankton]]
(Linked and why) What links here and Related changes pages can be linked as: Special: Whatlinkshere/CheatEngine: How to edit a page and Special: Recentchangeslinked/CheatEngine: How to edit a page	'''What links here''' and '''Related changes''' pages can be linked as: [[Special: WhatLinkshere/CheatEngine: How to edit a page]] and [[Special: RecentChangeslinked/ CheatEngine: How to edit a page]]
(User edits) A user's Contributions page can be linked as: Special:Contributions/UserName or Special:Contributions/192.0.2.0	A user's '''Contributions''' page can be linked as: [[Special:Contributions/UserName]] or [[Special:Contributions/192.0.2.0]]
(Categorize) To put an article in a category, place a link like the one to the right anywhere in the article. As with interlanguage links, it does not matter where you put these links while editing as they will always show up in the same place when you save the page, but placement at the end of the edit box is recommended.	[[Category:Character sets]]
(Category page link) To link to a category page without putting the article into the category, use a colon prefix (":Category") in the link. The formatted text link will appear as: Category:Character sets.	[[:Category:Character sets]]
(External links) Three ways to link to external (non-wiki) sources: Bare URL: http://www.CheatEngine.org/ (bad style) Unnamed link: [1] (only used within article body for footnotes) Named link: CheatEngine See meta:interwiki map for the list of shortcuts. Square brackets indicate an external link. Note the use of a space (not a pipe) to separate the URL from the link text in the "named" version. In the URL, all symbols must be among: A-Z a-z 0-9 . _ \ / ~ % - + & # ? ! = ( ) @ If a URL contains a character not in this list, it should be encoded by using a percent sign (%) followed by the hex code of the character, which can be found in the table of ASCII printable characters. For example, the caret character (^) would be encoded in a URL as %5E. If the "named" version contains a closing square bracket "]", then you must use the HTML special character syntax, i.e. &#93; otherwise the MediaWiki software will prematurely interpret this as the end of the external link. There is a class that can be used to remove the arrow image from the external link. It is used in Template:Ref to stop the URL from expanding during printing. It should never be used in the main body of an article. However, there is an exception: wikilinks in Image markup. An example of the markup is as follows: Markup: <span class="plainlinks neverexpand"> [http://www.sysinternals.com/ ntw2k/freeware/winobj.shtml WinObj]</span> Display: WinObj See External links for style issues.	Three ways to link to external (non-wiki) sources: # Bare URL: http://en.CheatEngine.org/ (bad style) # Unnamed link: [http://en.CheatEngine.org/] (only used within article body for footnotes) # Named link: [http://en.CheatEngine.org CheatEngine]
(Wikimedia text link) Linking to other wikis: InterWiki link: Wiktionary:Hello Interwiki link without prefix: Hello Named interwiki link: Wiktionary definition of 'Hello' All of these forms lead to the URL http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Hello Note that interwiki links use the internal link style. See MetaCheatEngine:Interwiki_map for the list of shortcuts; if the site you want to link to is not on the list, use an external link (see above). See also Wikimedia sister projects. Linking to another language's wiktionary: Wiktionary:fr:bonjour bonjour fr:bonjour All of these forms lead to the URL http://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/bonjour	Linking to other wikis: # [[InterWiki]] link: [[Wiktionary:Hello]] # Interwiki link without prefix: [[Wiktionary:Hello|]] # Named interwiki link: [[Wiktionary:Hello|Wiktionary definition of 'Hello']] Linking to another language's wiktionary: # [[Wiktionary:fr:bonjour]] # [[Wiktionary:fr:bonjour|bonjour]] # [[Wiktionary:fr:bonjour|]]
(Book sources) ISBN 012345678X ISBN 0-12-345678-X Link to books using their ISBN. This is preferred to linking to a specific online bookstore, because it gives the reader a choice of vendors. However, if one bookstore or online service provides additional free information, such as table of contents or excerpts from the text, then a link to that source will aid the user and is recommended. ISBN links do not need any extra markup, provided you use one of the indicated formats.	ISBN 012345678X ISBN 0-12-345678-X
(RFC number) Text mentioning an RFC number anywhere, e.g. RFC 4321. Link to Internet Engineering Task Force Request for Comments (RFCs).	Text mentioning an RFC number anywhere, e.g. RFC 4321.
(“As of” tag) “As of” tags like "As of April 2009" and "as of April 2009" categorize info that will need updating.	“[[WP:As of|As of]]” tags like "{{As of|2009|4|df=us}}" and "{{As of|2009|4|df=us|lc=on}}" categorize info that will need updating.
(Media link) Sound To include links to non image uploads such as sounds, use a "media" link. For images, see next section. Some uploaded sounds are listed at Commons:Sound.	[[media:Classical guitar scale.ogg|Sound]]
(Edit links) Link directly to edit for an existing page, or apply other link attributes. use {{fullurl:}} or use {{template:edit}} which conceals the edit label for page printing	{{fullurl:page name|action=edit}}

Images

Only images that have been uploaded to CheatEngine can be used. To upload images, use the upload page. You can find the uploaded image on the image list.

What it looks like	What you type
A picture:	A picture: [[Image:wiki.png]]
With alternative text: CheatEngine, The Free Encyclopedia.	With alternative text: [[Image:wiki.png|CheatEngine, The Free Encyclopedia.]] Alternative text, used when the image is unavailable or when the image is loaded in a text-only browser, or when spoken aloud, is strongly encouraged. See Alternative text for images for help on choosing it.
Floating to the right side of the page using the frame attribute and a caption: File:wiki.png CheatEngine Encyclopedia	Floating to the right side of the page using the ''frame'' attribute and a caption: [[Image:wiki.png|frame|CheatEngine Encyclopedia]] The frame tag automatically floats the image right.

Using the span and div tag to separate images from text (note that this may allow images to cover text):	Example: <div style="display:inline; width:220px; float:right;"> Place images here </div>
Using wiki markup to make a table in which to place a vertical column of images (this helps edit links match headers, especially in Firefox browsers):	Example: {| align=right |- | Place images here |}

See the CheatEngine's image use policy as a guideline used on CheatEngine.

For further help on images, including some more versatile abilities, see the topic on Extended image syntax.

Headings

For a heading, put it on a separate line. A level-two heading, the highest level editors use in an article, for example:

  == Introduction ==
  Editing most CheatEngine pages is easy.

Subheadings use '===', '====', and so on, down to level-six.

Level-one headings are automatically generated for the articles title, which is not available in the edit box.

You can strike out deleted material and underline new material. You can also mark deleted material and inserted material using logical markup. For backwards compatibility better combine this potentially ignored new logical with the old physical markup. When editing regular CheatEngine articles, just make your changes and do not mark them up in any special way. When editing your own previous remarks in talk pages, it is sometimes appropriate to mark up deleted or inserted material.	You can <s>strike out deleted material</s> and <u>underline new material</u>. You can also mark <del>deleted material</del> and <ins>inserted material</ins> using logical markup.

The latter methods of sub/superscripting cannot be used in the most general context, as they rely on Unicode support which may not be present on all users' machines. For the 1-2-3 superscripts, it is nevertheless preferred when possible (as with units of measurement) because most browsers have an easier time formatting lines with it.	x<sub>1</sub> x<sub>2</sub> x<sub>3</sub> or x&#8320; x&#8321; x&#8322; x&#8323; x&#8324; x&#8325; x&#8326; x&#8327; x&#8328; x&#8329; x<sup>1</sup> x<sup>2</sup> x<sup>3</sup> or x&#8304; x&sup1; x&sup2; x&sup3; x&#8308; x&#8309; x&#8310; x&#8311; x&#8312; x&#8313; &epsilon;<sub>0</sub> = 8.85 &times; 10<sup>&minus;12</sup> C&sup2; / J m. 1 [[hectare]] = [[1 E4 m&sup2;]]

Mathematical formulae: <math>\,\! \sin x + \ln y</math> Template:math <math>\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{0}</math> Template:math Complex formulae should use <math> markup. Simple formulae may use either <math> markup or HTML/wiki markup using the Template:tl template with <i> and <b> or '' and ''' for formatting. Make sure to replace = with Template:tl. Ordinary text should use wiki markup for emphasis. However, mathematical formulae often use italics, and sometimes use bold, for reasons unrelated to emphasis. Per CheatEngine:Manual of Style (mathematics), wiki markup ('' and ''') is preferred over HTML markup (<i> and <b>), but both are allowed.	<math>\,\! \sin x + \ln y</math><br> {{math|sin ''x'' + ln ''y''}} <math>\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{0}</math><br> {{math|<b>x</b> {{=}} <b>0</b>}}
Spacing in simple math formulae: Obviously, Template:math is true when Template:math is a real number. Using &nbsp; to prevent linebreak is not needed; the Template:tl template will prevent line breaks anyway; you can use <br> if you need an explicit line break inside a formula.	Obviously, {{math|''x<''<sup>2</sup> ≥ 0}} is true when {{math|<VAR >x</VAR >}} is a real number.
Complicated formulae: <math>\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{n!}</math> See Help:Displaying a formula for how to use <math>. A formula displayed on a line by itself should probably be indented by using the colon (:) character.	: <math>\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{n!}</math>

No or limited formatting—showing exactly what is being typed

A few different kinds of formatting will tell the Wiki to display things as you typed them—what you see, is what you get!

What it looks like	What you type
<nowiki> tag: The nowiki tag ignores [[Wiki]] ''markup''. It reformats text by removing newlines and multiple spaces. It still interprets special characters: →	<nowiki> The nowiki tag ignores [[Wiki]] ''markup''. It reformats text by removing newlines and multiple spaces. It still interprets special characters: &rarr; </nowiki>
<pre> tag: The pre tag ignores [[Wiki]] ''markup''. It also doesn't reformat text. It still interprets special characters: →	<pre> The pre tag ignores [[Wiki]] ''markup''. It also doesn't reformat text. It still interprets special characters: &rarr; </pre>
Leading space: Leading spaces are another way to preserve formatting. Putting a space at the beginning of each line stops the text from being reformatted. It still interprets Wiki markup and special characters: →	Leading spaces are another way to preserve formatting. Putting a space at the beginning of each line stops the text from being reformatted. It still interprets [[Wiki]] ''markup'' and special characters: &rarr;

Invisible text (comments)

Template:main It's uncommon, but on occasion acceptable, to add a hidden comment within the text of an article. The format is this:

<!-- This is an example of text that won't normally be visible except in "edit" mode. -->

Table of contents

At the current status of the wiki markup language, having at least four headers on a page triggers the table of contents (TOC) to appear in front of the first header (or after introductory sections). Putting __TOC__ anywhere forces the TOC to appear at that point (instead of just before the first header). Putting __NOTOC__ anywhere forces the TOC to disappear. See also Compact TOC for alphabet and year headings.

Tables

There are two ways to build tables:

• in special Wiki-markup (see Table)
• with the usual HTML elements: <table>, <tr>, <td> or <th>.

For the latter, and a discussion on when tables are appropriate, see When to use tables.

NUMBEROFARTICLES is the number of pages in the main namespace which contain a link and are not a redirect, in other words number of articles, stubs containing a link, and disambiguation pages.

CURRENTMONTHNAMEGEN is the genitive (possessive) grammatical form of the month name, as used in some languages; CURRENTMONTHNAME is the nominative (subject) form, as usually seen in English.

In languages where it makes a difference, you can use constructs like {{grammar:case|word}} to convert a word from the nominative case to some other case. For example, {{grammar:genitive|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}}} means the same as {{CURRENTMONTHNAMEGEN}}.

Templates

The MediaWiki software used by CheatEngine has support for templates. This means standardized text chunks (such as boilerplate text), can be inserted into articles. For example, typing Template:tl will appear as "This article is a stub. You can help CheatEngine by expanding it." when the page is saved. See Template messages for the complete list. Other commonly used templates are: Template:tl for disambiguation pages and Template:tl like an article stub but for a section. There are many subject-specific stubs for example: Template:tl, Template:tl, and Template:tl. For a complete list of stubs see Stub types.
