+More tips on using links:
+  * Include links to pages that don't exist yet---this will encourage someone to create them.
+  * Create pages that are linked to but don't exist yet. An orange link is an invitation.
+  * Avoid changing page names and section titles, as others may link to them.

+where each tag is separated by a space. Tag names may not have spaces in them. You might want to consider tagging pages about your locations with your username---that way, you can find them later. All tags are namespaced with colons. A leading colon uses the root namespace.
 Certain tags are magical---they will make the wiki software link to your page automatically. These magical tags include:
-  * ''location'': Anything which describes a point, area, or region in the world should be tagged as a location. There are several specific types of location tags. These tags should be included **in addition** to the ''location'' tag.
+  * '':location'': Anything which describes a point, area, or region in the world should be tagged as a location. There are several specific types of location tags. These tags should be included **in addition** to the ''location'' tag.
-    * ''home'': Any permanently-inhabited space, such as the one in which your character resides. You can have more than one home. Any page with this tag will be listed on the start page.
+    * '':home'': Any permanently-inhabited space, such as the one in which your character resides. You can have more than one home. Any page with this tag will be listed on the start page.
-    * ''landmark'': If you've spent five hours building a complicated model of something, and you want everyone to see it, include this tag. Landmarks are also listed on the start page.
+    * '':landmark'': If you've spent five hours building a complicated model of something, and you want everyone to see it, include this tag. Landmarks are also listed on the start page.
-  * ''player'': Your user page should contain this tag. User pages are of supreme importance and are linked to, prominently, on the [[start]] page.
+    * '':technology'': Machines can be art, too! It doesn't have to look good, but it does have to be useful. If you've built some technology at a //specific location// you want others to see and use, give it this tag.
-It is worth nothing that these magical tags all use the singular form---i.e., ''player'' instead of ''player<del>s</del>.''

 There are other tags which are not magical right now, but if they become popular enough they will gain their own wiki page. These tags are:
-  * ''info'': Generic information about the world that is not location-specific.
+  * '':info'': Generic information about the world that is not location-specific.
-  * ''blueprint'': Plans, schematics, and designs.
+  * '':blueprint'': Plans, schematics, and designs.
-  * ''region'': An article describing a large area of the world.
+  * '':region'': An article describing a large area of the world.
-  * ''your_tag'': If you want to propose more standardized tags, include them here!
+  * '':your_tag'': If you want to propose more standardized tags, include them here!
-Tag magic is easy to learn---the incantation is relatively straightforward. Anyone can automatically generate a list of pages with one or more tags. If you've tagged a bunch of pages as ''butterflies'' and you want to list all pages which are tagged ''butterflies,'' just use

 and such a list will be inserted into your page. The syntax for the tagging engine is described on an [[http://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:tag|external website]] and not on the main syntax page.
 ==== Content Checklist ====
 The content of the page is left largely to the discretion of the author, but here are a few suggestions.
-  * Use lots of links. An unlinked-to page has no visitors and begins to rust.
-    * Include links to pages that don't exist yet---this will encourage someone to create them.
-    * Create pages that are linked to but don't exist yet. An orange link is an invitation.
-    * Avoid changing page names and section titles, as others may link to them.
-    * If you and another contributor disagree on what the name of a page should be---i.e., your links to it have different names---just put in a redirect and be done with it.
   * Use lots of images... but many snapshots of the same thing should go in a slide-show.
   * Use a spell checker.
