🧷 Footnotes & Quotes
🧙 Plugins You Might Use
Depending on what's enabled by staff, you may have access to syntax plugins such as:
- `wrap` – formatting and box styles
- `note` – special callouts
- `qna` – FAQ display blocks
Check with staff before using a new plugin or syntax style.
⚠️ Final Tips
- Don't rely on heading-based section links—they can break if the title changes.
- Use internal links to connect relevant rules and lore.
- No CamelCase linking—DokuWiki does not auto-link those.
- Be consistent with formatting—it helps readers (and staff)!
