-[[doku>DokuWiki]] supports some simple markup language, which tries to make the datafiles to be as readable as possible. This page contains all possible syntax you may use when editing the pages. Simply have a look at the source of this page by pressing "Edit this page". If you want to try something, just use the [[playground:playground|playground]] page. The simpler markup is easily accessible via [[doku>toolbar|quickbuttons]], too.+<WRAP info>Unfinished.</WRAP>

 +On Cinema on Wikis uses [[doku>DokuWiki]] for its wiki software. I (kianworld) chose this because it seemed a hell of a lot easier to set-up and use instead of [[wp>MediaWiki]]. Yeah, I could have went to Fandom or Miraheze or whatever... I didn't want to. I wanted something that I could feel less bad about maybe giving up and abandoning on, something self-hosted. 
 + 
 +A big advantage of DokuWiki is the fact that articles are just simple 'ol text files. All the fancy effects are just markup (and the occasional plug-in/CSS cheat). This page is a re-write of the default [[doku>wiki:syntax|DokuWiki syntax]] page, with some unneeded lines removed and additional ones added, plus general tips about how we want articles to be written. 
 + 
 +===== Tone ===== 
 +We're writing this wiki **in-character**, meaning we're pretending this is all real and not some elaborate 10+ year gag. Be neutral, don't write heavily from the perspective of a Timhead or a Gregghead. 
 + 
 +I (conro101) write articles as if I were oblivious to the obvious conflict between Tim and Gregg. Don't draw too much attention to fights, call them debates or discussion. Don't place any blame on people, especially with criminal acts. For example, the carbon monoxide incident in [[:oscar7|the seventh Oscar special]] shouldn't be attributed to Gregg leaving the car on, or Tim failing to ventilate the studio. It was just an accident that happened to kill two people. Assume that everything Tim and Gregg says is true. If those two things disagree, simply say that Tim claims one thing, while Gregg alleges another. 
 + 
 +Occasionally, we'll break kayfabe and talk about things out-of-character. When you do, mark it **[META]** in the header of the section.
