====== Article Structure ======

A shared shape keeps the wiki readable without forcing every page into the same mold. This page describes what a good article contains and when to reach for the fancier syntax. Treat it as a standard to know, not a form to fill.((This page is written with the structures it describes. Peek at the raw source for examples.))

===== How an article is put together =====
Most pages share the same bones, in this order:

**Lead** — one or two sentences saying what the page is about and who it's for. Brief someone over the shoulder: plain, specific, no throat-clearing.

**Body** — the actual content, shaped by the topic. A config becomes a table of settings. A walkthrough is a description with a spoiler flag where it's needed. A guide is an explanation that earns its length. Don't force a topic into a recipe it doesn't fit.

**Related** — a short list of pages that genuinely connect, including the section hub.

**Tags** — `{{tag>…}}` at the bottom linking the page across namespaces.

===== The lean template =====
The minimum you need to start a page:

<file dokuwiki template.txt>
====== Article Title ======

One or two sentences: what this is about and who it's for. Say it like you're briefing someone over the shoulder.

===== Body =====
Write the content here as prose, tables, or code blocks. Let the topic set the shape.

===== When to use the extras =====
The installed plugins are powerful when used sparingly:

^ Tool ^ Use it for ^
| Tables (`^` header, `|` row) | settings, comparisons, small metadata blocks |
| `<code>` / `<file>` blocks | config values and commands, so they're copy-pasteable |
| `<WRAP box …>` callouts | genuine warnings and spoilers only |
| `{{tag>…}}` | cross-linking topics across namespaces, feeding the tag cloud |
| `((…))` footnotes | asides that would clutter the main text |

If a callout exists only to call something out, leave it out. Plain prose is fine.

===== Optional metadata =====
Add a small table near the top when version or status actually matters to the reader: which server release a config targets, or whether a page is still a draft.

^ Field ^ When it matters ^
| Type | Guide, Config, Walkthrough, Reference |
| Game / version | when the content depends on it |
| Status | Draft, Review, Published, while a page is settling |
| Updated | last meaningful edit, ISO date |

===== Conventions =====
Page names are lowercase with colons separating namespaces (`minecraft:paper-global-yml`), one topic per page, English. Content is CC-BY-SA 4.0: attribute sources, and don't paste game text verbatim.

===== Tags =====
