	==~~Welcome~~==		We're happy you've shown interest in contributing to the wiki, we welcome all editors and assume good faith for all edits made, so there are very few protected pages. Don't be afraid to jump in and start correcting and adding to pages.

			This is a quick guide to how you can help and a few guidelines.

			==Wiki Style==

			===Third-Person===
			Write in an impersonal style and don't use pronouns (i.e. no "I", "you", or "he/she"; use "the player" or "players" instead).

	~~We're happy you've shown interest in contributing~~ to ~~the wiki~~, ~~we welcome all editors and assume good faith for all edits made~~, ~~so there are very few protected pages~~. ~~Don~~'t be ~~afraid to jump in and start correcting and adding to pages~~.		Guides and direct gameplay advice can be exceptions to this.

			===Links===
			The first reference of items, skills, or game concepts in each section of a page should become links. All further references in that section should ''not'' be links.

	~~This~~ is a ~~quick guide~~ to ~~how you can help~~.		Normally one link under each level two headline is enough. There are however exceptions, such as when both in a list or table and then explained afterwards, or when specifically referring to a wiki page.

	Most wiki pages are written as singular, meaning that adding an "s" directly after of the link is a simple way to make a word plural. This also works with other endings, such as "ing" and similar.

			Recommend that external links should normally be avoided. Only some specific pages actually need them, and even so there is no way to ensure that the link isn't dangerous to users.

			Linking to [http://hazeron.com/ Hazeron.com] is normally ok.

	New content is constantly being added to SoH which needs tutorials and such. before you start to write a page, search for it and if you can't find it, start one yourself. If you wish to work on a page uninterrupted, make it in your personal [[Special:MyPage/Sandbox\|sandbox]] area or anywhere in your own pages. If you don't know wikicode, you can create a unformatted page and ask someone else to format it for you.

			===Links===
			Links are used to make a navigate-able internal link to another wiki page.

			\|-

			!Result:
			\| [[Main Page]]
			\| [[Main_Page\|main page]]
			\| [[Main_Page\|page]]s
			\|}

			Note that links are case-sensitive, expect for the first letter. This means that making an all lower-case link to a wiki page with a non-single word name, will require the link to have a display text. Underscores (<code>_</code>) and spaces (<code> </code>) are interchangeable in a link, but using underscores is preferred in code-behind links.

			Most wiki pages are written as singular, meaning that adding an "s" directly after of the link is a simple way to make a word plural. This also works with other endings, such as "ing" and similar.
