The reason for the extra colon is that if it was linked directly to Category the wiki doesnt understand the coding involved so a extra ":" at the beginning is required.

RE: Image Update Request

Hey there,

On my end the image seems to be fine, or at least the image you wish to upload so I don't really see much problem on my end, unless I'm misunderstanding what you are asking, but it seems the image did successfully update. :) Connall Project Zomboid Wiki Manager 01:50, 8 August 2015 (BST)


Hey Connall,

I notice that this afternoon. Not quite sure what was going on last night as it kept using the old image every time I refreshed. Thanks for looking into it and, er, apologies for wasting your time there xD.

Trouble with wiki



Hey, Malony. I am new to this stuff, so would it be possible to give me a quick run-down on how to link to other pages while writing?




Hey OddFly!

Good thing I saw this, I was about to head off for the night. To Link to another page, you need to place the exact name of the page in Brackets. For instance:


[[Burger]]

       Produces         Burger




If you wanted to enter a link but give it a different name, you would need to use a Vertical Bar (|) in the link to change its name, for example:


[[Burger|Information on Burgers]]

       Produces         Information on Burgers       while linking to the correct page.




If you wanted to enter a link to a category, its a slightly different format as you need to put a colon before the link, for example:


[[:Category:Food]]

       Produces         Category:Food       while linking to the correct page.

The reason for the extra colon is that if it was linked directly to Category the wiki doesnt understand the coding involved so a extra ":" at the beginning is required.


Hope that helps! If you've got any other questions, feel free to drop a message and I'll try to get back to you.
