Templates
MediaWiki templates are very useful for making repeated, consistent notes and info boxes. Perhaps the most familiar template is Template:citation needed, but templates can do much more than that.
Using templates is a great way to ensure pages help the user easily find summary information and help make the whole site more usable by providing a consistent look-and-feel. Andrew Gronosky (talk) 13:49, 28 December 2015 (MST)
Mediawiki Extensions
The following MediaWiki extensions are enabled on this site to help maintainers create and organize great articles. You can see a full and up-to-date list of extensions on the page Special:Version.
- Extension:Cite for citing your sources
- Extension:EasyTimeline for making timelines; see also Help:Timeline
- Extension:Labeled Section Transclusion for re-using excerpts from a long article on other pages (so you don't repeat yourself)
Language Support
The Ars Magica community is international and Project: Redcap has always offered information in multiple languages. Please see Help:Languages for information on how to create non-English pages. Please contact me if you would like any help getting started; I am very eager to help people who want to expand Project: Redcap to include other languages.
