GnollHackWiki Rules

When modifying or creating wiki pages, always refer to the wiki_editing skill for detailed instructions on Markdown formatting, Gollum-style wikilinks, image handling, and repository conventions.

Quick Reminders:

  • Markdown Flavor: The wiki uses Gollum-style Markdown, not GitHub Flavored Markdown. It does not support GitHub-style alerts (e.g., > [!IMPORTANT], > [!NOTE]). Instead, use alternatives like > ℹ️ **Note:** or > ⚠️ **Warning:**.
  • Wikilinks: Use Gollum-style links. All wikilinks pointing to a page in a subfolder (e.g., [[/Artifacts/Vorpal Blade]], [[/Monsters/Ki-rin]], or [[/Items/Golden chest]]) must start with a slash (/) regardless of where the source file is located (root or subdirectory). If a link points to a page in the root directory (e.g., [[Home]]), it should not start with a slash, unless the source document is in a subdirectory, in which case any link targeting a root page must start with a leading slash (e.g. [[/Rings]] from a page in the Rooms/ folder). Do not include the .md extension. The alias in wikilinks is never used when the name of the page is the same as the page name, e.g., [[/Roles/Priest]] (never use [[Priest|/Roles/Priest]]). Use an alias only when the link text needs to differ, such as for the plural form of a page name (e.g., [[Priests|/Roles/Priest]]). If the display text matches the page name (case-insensitively), do not write [[rings|/Rings]] but simply [[/rings]] since the path portion is hidden by default and it will display as "rings" automatically. Never create wikilinks for "gold" or "gold pieces", and do not link to generic/non-existing item categories like "books", "spellbooks", "potions", "scrolls", "weapons", "armor", "ammunition", "comestibles", "rings", "gems", "wands", "reagents". Leave them as plain text.
  • Headings: Use an H1 (#) only on the first line to set a custom page title when the desired title differs from the filename (e.g., incorrect casing or special pages). Otherwise, omit the H1. Use H2 (##) or lower for section headings. Use blank lines before and after headings.
  • Ingress: If an article has an ingress, it must be styled as a block quote (>) starting with a 👉 emoji, followed by bold text (e.g., > 👉 **This is the ingress.**).
  • Lists: Use a dash (-) for Markdown lists instead of an asterisk (*) by default.
  • Images: All images go under /uploads/, mirroring the page's directory path. The format must be WebP.
  • Horizontal Lines: Do not use horizontal lines (e.g., --- or ***) anywhere in the wiki. They are not needed in Markdown documents.
  • Reserved Folders: Do not modify the /gollum/ or /.gollum/ directories.
  • Mathematical Formulas (KaTeX): Use KaTeX notation only for complex mathematical formulas, and prefer plain text for simple expressions. All KaTeX formulas must start with $ and end with $. For example: $P = \frac{1}{10 + 2 \times G \times A}$.

Text Restoration

  • Do NOT restore text that has been deleted by the user, unless explicitly requested by the user.
  • This applies especially when the user requests you to do something else that is not related to the deleted text. Always respect the user's manual edits and deletions.
