Small stuf

No more mineable asteroids in missons:

Various mission site locations have had mineable asteroids replaced with cosmetic asteroids. (30/03/2020) <ref>https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-for-march-2020-release 30/03/2020</ref>

Linking

Wiki internal

Syntax: [[<Namespace>:<Page name>#<Anchor>|<Display>]]

Namespace

The namespace of the page, separated from the Page name by a colon(:). Default is the main namespace. Options: User, Template, etc. Namespace is NOT case sensitive.

Page name

The name of the page. Page name is case sensitive with the exception of the first letter.

Anchor

To an ID somewhere inside a page. Anchor must be preceded by a #. Headings have an automatic ID identical to the header name. ID can be added manually by using {{Anchor}} or adding an ID= manually.ID's must be unique. Anchor's are case sensitive.

Display

The text that appears visible. Only needed when different from the linking part. Display is preceded by the pipe(|) symbol

Internal wiki links check the existence of the target page. If the page doesn't exist, is misspelled or the case is incorrect the link turns red.

Usage:

Page name only

Using the page name only links to a page in the main namespace with display identical to page name:

[[Venture]] results in Venture
As the first letter is not case sensitive [[venture]] also results in a valid link venture

Link end "trick".

Putting text directly connecting to the closing ]] results in that text being added to the displayed text.

[[Venture]]s results in Ventures while the link still goes to Venture.
[[Venture]]abunchofletters results in Ventureabunchofletters while the link still goes to Venture.

Namespace and Page name

To go to a page outside the main namespace the namespace needs to be added to the link

[[User:Evon R'al]] gives User:Evon R'al
[[UniWiki:Manual of Style]] gives UniWiki:Manual of Style

Page name and Anchor

Using a Page name and an Anchor gets to a specific location within a page.

Using an Anchor only, leads to a specific location within the page.

[[combat sites#Expeditions]] gives combat sites#Expeditions
The existence of the page is still checked, but the existence of the anchor is not.
Note: If a non existing anchor is used the link goes to the top of the page.
[[combat sites#no exist]] gives combat sites#no exist, leading ot the top of the combat sites page

[[#Signatures]] gives #Signatures leading to the Signatures heading on this page.

Page name and display

[[Venture|Venture]] results in Venture. More then double the amount of typing for the same result as when using a page name only link and more cluttered reading in the source.
But when doing this: Example of an [[Venture|mining]] frigate, we get Example of a mining frigate.

The use of display is particularly useful when namespaces or anchors are used. To increase readability.
[[User:Evon R'al|Evon R'al]]'s user page gives Evon R'al's user page
A link to [[combat sites#Expeditions|Expeditions]] gives A link to Expeditions

Special cases

File namespace

[[File:Helpicon.png]] gives the file embedded at the location of the link.
To get a link to the file page the namespace needs to be preceded by a colon (:)
[[:File:Helpicon.png]] gives File:Helpicon.png a link to the file page.
[[:File:Evon R'al.jpg]] gives File:Evon R'al.jpg
Display can be used like [[:File:Evon R'al.jpg|Evon R'al]] to change the presentation: The file page of Evon R'al's portrait.
For parameters to influence size and placement of a file see Mediawikiwiki:Help:Images

Media namespace

Is a virtual namespace which gives a direct link to a file.

[[Media:Evon R'al.jpg]] gives Media:Evon R'al.jpg
Display can be used: [[Media:Evon R'al.jpg|portrait]] to get Evon R'al's portrait.

Category namespace

[[Category:Pilots]] gives a link to the Category category and the pilots category in a separate box at the bottom of the page.
To get a link to the Pilots category in the text use [[:Category:Pilots]] which gives Category:Pilots
