If you are making a new item page, here is a rough guide how:

Each item will get their own page, named after the item and (if appropriate) its color. For example, Candy Cauldron and Aladdin's Flying Carpet Chair Blue. Create this page by linking to it from anywhere - use the VMKWiki Sandbox if you can't think of another place.
Use the template below for most furniture items, adding the correct information and adding any other categories that may be necessary (for example :Category:Beta Checklist).
To include the page you just created in a list (ie - not link to it, but include its contents), use a format like this: {{:Candy Cauldron}}. Note the :, it is important.
Don't forget to add a price and image if you have them. If you don't have an image, use the {{ImageNotAvailable}} tag to mark it - this will make it look better and easier to find later.
As always - preview things. But remember that you have to save the item's page before you can include it in another page.

Room Map Template

When creating a new map of a room, use the following template.

<noinclude>
__FORCETOC__

== Summary ==
{{itemTableHeader}}
</noinclude>
|-
|
|
|
|
|
|
<noinclude>
{{itemTableFooter}}

== Room Map ==

; Key:
: # - regular space ()
: x - exit space ()

[[Category:Guest Rooms]]
</noinclude>

Summary

Item	Color	Cost	Photo	Location	Notes

Room Map

Key:: # - regular space (); x - exit space ()

Additionally, we have some utility templates.

{{room shop}} currently just prints "room shop", but will eventually be changed to provide a link to information about how to shop for rooms. Similarly Available when creating a new user is meant for rooms that can be your starting room. {{roomSize|size|r=#|x=#}} is used to provide room size information. Currently, just the first parameter (the overall size) is used, but include the rest of the information for completeness. the "r" parameter is for "regular squares" (what we usually represent with a #).

If the room is from a secret code show this using:

PROTECTED19

Output is:
Secret Code

If the room is from the room shop, show this using:

PROTECTED20

Output is:
Room Shop

Credit Rewards Template

To include credit rewards in a table of other items, you can use the {{credits|price|optional note}} template. For example, including {{credits|10}} generates this table entry:

Item	Color	Cost	Photo	Location	Notes
10 Credits					For more information see Credit

You may also include an optional note.

Price Template

Pricing items is very simple now using the following templates. "num" is the number of credits (for example 1000).

PROTECTED23
PROTECTED24
PROTECTED25
PROTECTED26
PROTECTED27 (to indicate how much an item sells for)

Output is:
Dnum
S/Dnum
X/Dnum
Q
{{salePrice}}

Additionally we have a way to indicate that an item is non-tradeable:

PROTECTED28

Output is:
non-tradeable

Released/Re-Released/Retired Templates

As items are release, retired and re-released it is important to make note of those dates (see date format below). These templates are for the status, you would then add the date. There is another to indicate the item was released as part of a yard sale or another limited event, so no specific date was recorded. There is also a tag to indicate the item was released during Beta and then removed.

PROTECTED29
PROTECTED30
PROTECTED31
PROTECTED32
PROTECTED33

Output is:
Released:
Re-released:
Retired:

Limited re-release through Host Yard Sale

Date Format

Dates of items should be in the day/month/year format with the full name of the month spelled out. Example:

10 October 2006

Spoiler Format

This spoiler format features mouse hover to display "Correct Answer" or "Incorrect Answer" or to show a correct answer (as in the case with fill in the blanks) and is used in the In-Park quests spoiler area.

PROTECTED34
PROTECTED35
PROTECTED36

Output is:

Correct answer here
Incorrect answer here

Displayed text here

Note: for the Incorrect and Correct Answer templates, the bullet is currently included in the template

In a fill in the blank format:
ex:

VMK stands for __________________.

Use:

VMK stands for {{fill-inAnswer|__________________|Virtual Magic Kingdom}}.

and get:

VMK stands for __________________.

Before adding spoilers to a page include the template

PROTECTED38

Discussion community comments archived from Talk:Editing

We have been having problems with sections of the VMK portion somehow being deleted when we edit the Club Penguin section. Because of this, I've moved the VMK one to its own page, and provided the link here. I suggest the Club Penguin people do the same. --Prisoner 13:43, 8 August 2007 (CDT)

I have noticed this. Editing the CP section without a problem requires editing the whole page. Should the VMK Section on Help:Editing be deleted? --Scootz 13:46, 8 August 2007 (CDT)

Thanks for removing it, I hope you're not made I messed it up.. Also, should we remove the VMK section completly from Help:Editing? --Xiaolin 14:09, 8 August 2007 (CDT)

Timestamps

Would it be useful to ask editors to use tildes (~) to automatically include User and timestamps against their comments? ie 3 ~ will give User name; 4 ~ will give User name and time & date. I'm lazy and hate having to hit History to see how old a comment is. Pudgey 05:42, 26 May 2008 (PDT)

For the most part the users have been doing this, sometimes it goes forgotten but I've noticed everyone has been pretty good about it as of late. In the toolbar of the editing box there is the "Your Signature with Timestamp" button that easily adds the appropriate signature. This is actually stated in the Rules and Guidelines, but I'll go back and make it a little more prominent/specific.--UpInTheAir 15:12, 26 May 2008 (PDT)
