Everything you need to know to create and edit articles on the Shadow Slave Wiki.
The Shadow Slave Wiki supports two editing modes:
Switch between them at any time using the toggle in the editor toolbar.
The visual editor provides a full WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) experience. Start typing and use the toolbar or slash commands to format content.
The toolbar at the top gives you quick access to:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| Bold / Italic / Underline | Text formatting |
| Strikethrough / Highlight | Additional emphasis |
| H2 / H3 | Section headings |
| Bullet / Numbered List | Lists |
| Quote | Blockquotes and character dialogue |
| Code Block | Formatted code snippets |
| Divider | Horizontal rule separators |
| Table | Insert data tables |
| Link | Add hyperlinks |
| Image | Upload or insert images (with artist credit for fanart) |
| Reference | Cite a chapter or source — inserts a numbered footnote |
| Undo / Redo | History navigation |
Type / anywhere in the editor to open the command menu:
/heading — Insert a heading (H2, H3, H4)/bullet — Bullet list/numbered — Numbered list/quote — Blockquote/system — System Message (Spell notification block)/divider — Horizontal separator/table — Insert a 3x3 table/code — Code block/image — Upload or insert an image/reference — Cite a chapter or sourceYou can cite chapters and sources at any point in your article:
/referenceA numbered marker like [1] will appear inline, and a References section is automatically generated at the bottom of the article listing all sources.

At the top of the Character Sheet editor, you can add a profile image:
When creating a new article, choose a template to get started quickly. Templates pre-fill content structure and optionally add a Character Sheet.
