Table of Contents

Headings / Subheadings

• The tier 1 heading (largest) uses 1 =, is underlined, and is the same size/style as the page title.
  • Example: = text here =
  • note: use this sparingly
• The tier 2 heading (most common) uses 2 ==, and is underlined.
  • Example: == text here ==
• Tier 3 subheading (smaller) uses 3 ===, but is not underlined.
  • Example: === text here ===
• Tier 4 subheading (even smaller) uses 4 ====, and is also not underlined.
  • Example: ==== text here ====
• the maximum is 6

Any headings/subheadings styled with the = formatting will show up on the TOC. If you just need bolded titles for subsections that do not need to appear on the TOC, use '''Sub-Heading Text''' instead.

Links

External links that take visitors outside of the Palia Wiki: [https://website.com Display Text]

Internal links (Furniture) that link to other wiki pages: [[Page Name|alternate display text]] or [[Page Name]]

The first part of the syntax consists of the link, and the second, separated by | is another word for, or explanation of, what the destination is.

Tables

Main Mediawiki article

!'s indicate title cells

|'s indicate data cells

The number of columns in the table will be equal to the row with the most.

Table Code

You can copy and paste this!

{| class="paliatable mw-half"
 ! Column 1 title
 ! Column 2 title
 ! Column 3 title
|-
 | Info that goes under column 1
 | Info that goes under column 2
 | Info that goes under column 3
|-
 | Info that goes under column 1

|}

tablescroll (for mobile!)

A large number of website visitors view the Wiki using a mobile device (Or simply a device with a small screen). Tables that use a lot of columns, or tables that have very wide columns, can cause page overflow issues for mobile viewers. To prevent any issues, surround your tables with a scrollable element:

<div class="tablescroll">
{| class="paliatable"
 ! Heading 1
 ! Heading 2
|-
 | Column 1
 | Column 2
|}
</div>

Table Widths

A few HTML classes exist that allow different sizing to be applied to tables, helping to maintain both PC and Mobile styling by automatically adjust on smaller-device screens.

• If the content of the table is too large for a small table, then the table may stretch wider than intended.

Class	Sizing	Example
mw-quarter	25% width	{| class="mw-quarter" |}
mw-third	33.3% width	{| class="mw-third" |}
mw-half	50% width	{| class="mw-half" |}
mw-threequarter	75% width	{| class="mw-threequarter" |}

Other Table Classes

Class	Purpose
mw-collapsible	Add the [Collapse]
mw-collapsed	Collapse the table and add [Expand]
paliatable	So all the tables look the same on the Palia Wiki
wikitable	For really basic tables, typically found in Template Documentation
sortable	Add the little sorting arrows to all the title cells
thover1	Highlight the cell that the mouse is hovering over
