Help:Item sample page

Note

Everything in boxes is what you add in your item page, everything else, including the headers in this Help page, is comments to describe what to do, how and why.

Top Templates

At the very top of the page always add these templates:

{{Template:Metakey}}{{Template:Metadesc}}{{I18n}}
{{Category_playerinfo}}
{{Status green}}

• Metakey and Metadesc are important to make google and other search engines find that page easier.
• i18n adds the translation links.
• Category playerinfo adds an information that this page is a reference for player.
• Status green is pretty much like Category playerinfo but also adds the information that players are free to edit this page. This template will be missing on protected pages like the Main Page or Game Rules which only Wiki Administrators and Bureaucrats can edit.

"{{Template:Metakey}}{{Template:Metadesc}}{{I18n}}" stand in one line because otherwise it will add paragraphs between them, making the templates look weird.

{{Template:Metakey}}{{Template:Metadesc}}{{I18n}}
{{Category_playerinfo}}
{{Status green}}

{{Shield
  |Name           = [[Scarab Armlet]]
  |Image          = [[File:Armor-hands-scarabarmlet.png]]
  |ID             = 585
  |Description    = A scarab armlet.
  |Stats increase = M.Attack +5
  |Buyable        = No
  |Buy            = 8,000
  |Sell           = 4,000
  |Weight         = 200
}}

== Info ==
The [[Scarab Armlet]] is one of the most seeked for and most rare items in [[The Mana World]]. Only very few people own one. It is not obtainable in the game anymore.

Remember that [[Shields]] can only be equipped with a one-handed Weapon.


The [[Scarab Armlet]] is the only Shield that doesn't boost your defense and the only one that doesn't give a huge penalty on Magic Attack, it even boosts a player's Magic Attack by 5. This makes it useless for warriors but an interesting alternative for players. 


While usual mages have a staff equipped the Scarab Armlet doesn't allow equipping a two-handed weapon like a staff but together with the [[Rock Knife]] which boosts your Vitality by 3 the Scarab Armlet can become quite handy.
