;How to convert text to hidden on the final version
*Using the visual editor, I notice wiki paragraph instructions tend to get deleted, which they should not.  These serve as reminders especially for future new editors which may make updates, edits or changes and will need those instructions as to what needs to go where.  If information has been added, we don't want the instructions to show, however, we don't want them deleted either.  To render the instructions invisible we use the comment brackets '''<nowiki><!--</nowiki>''' and '''<nowiki>--></nowiki>''', anything between those will show up on the editing page, but not on the final page, allowing the instructions to remain intact, but not show on the final product.  Utilizing the visual editor, what you do is highlight the instruction set, right-click and select "cut".  Next, in the toolbar, click on the "Insert" drop-down and select "! Comment". A popup box should show up where you "cut" the instructions from and here go ahead and right-click in the box and select "Paste" which should paste the instructions within the box. Click the "Insert" button and you should now have a new comment with the instructions which will be available for future users, but not show up on the final page.

Hello, AN_TRN_26.  Thanks for reaching out to me.  I wanted to know where I can find information on the "Details" ("Features", "Limits" "Optimal Velocities", and "Compressor") of planes.  So far, I can't find the info for any of these via the in-game UI.  Could you point me to where they are?

:::* You are correct the move button is both dangerous and useful, mostly dangerous if something gets messed up and it has to be untangled.  If you have added an image and need to rename it, I think that would be fine.  If the old image name has not been linked to a page, then you can rename it and request the improper name to be deleted (Patrioticalien or Inceptor57 can do that), if it has been linked, then you are best off to redirect to the new page. Vehicle pages which have been around for a while, you might just let us know or ask to do the change that way if there was a reason it hasn't been changed yet, we can let you know.

Visual Editing - Some mistakes to avoid

Visual editing brings an alternative way to edit a wiki which does not require you to wade through wiki code. A few things to remember:

  • Do not remove instructions from the different sections of a page (typically identified by an exclamation mark in a circle), a simple mouseover will expand on the entire instruction set.
Instruction block as viewed through the Visual Editor, note the exclamation mark in the circle.
How to convert text to hidden on the final version
  • Using the visual editor, I notice wiki paragraph instructions tend to get deleted, which they should not. These serve as reminders especially for future new editors which may make updates, edits or changes and will need those instructions as to what needs to go where. If the information has been added, we don't want the instructions to show, however, we don't want them deleted either. To render the instructions invisible we use the comment brackets <!-- and -->, anything between those will show up on the editing page, but not on the final page, allowing the instructions to remain intact, but not show on the final product. Utilizing the visual editor, what you do is highlight the instruction set, right-click and select "cut". Next, in the toolbar, click on the "Insert" drop-down and select "! Comment". A popup box should show up where you "cut" the instructions from and here go ahead and right-click in the box and select "Paste" which should paste the instructions within the box. Click the "Insert" button and you should now have a new comment with the instructions which will be available for future users, but not show up on the final page.




  • Do not remove parser and template functions, these will show up as a puzzle piece with a name afterwards (such as "Specs", "Break", "Battle-rating" or such).
For parsers and templates, not the existing puzzle piece and name following. These will now show the actual output during usage of the Visual Editor.
