First time creating a wiki, and basically just need proof-read / other guidance to this wiki I made for artist Amazin-arts

I think I have done everything correctly, but please notify me what I need to include / should include

(I know the Nexx link does link to nothing, but I haven't created that wiki yet, but Nexx is his character and features in a number of his works)

The wiki:
https://e621.net/artist/show/24617

Cheers and Thanks in advance to anything

Usually, just adding source accounts into the respective field suffices (IMO), so those extra links can go in there. Other than that, you have no problems, you did more than just that. One thing I will show, for no real reason other than shortening, is an example MLP; using formats to edit the text shown for searches or wiki pages. Just add a " | ", I believe spaces are required, and insert the text you want to make visible. reply to my comment to see it in use for what'd otherwise be MLP.

Ok, thanks for getting back to me, I don't quite understand the " | " though, not too sure what I'm meant to type in for it to work

Use the normal wiki format, [.[*].] (periods breaking the script, asterisk to denote wiki name), but in between the wiki name and the last two brackets, do | , and it will allow you to replace the wiki name with whatever words you put after it.

for instance, these links're all replaced by text that aren't the wiki pages.

Example: Typing \not male gives you not male

Huh, you managed to break the format with a forward slash. Does that work for all formatting on this site.

MLP Ok, I understand

Seriously Thanks You're really helpful, mate!

Backslash. And yeah, I think it does.

So / has always been a forward slash? That's legitimately shocking, I'm used to hearing backslash for programming, and I associated that as such.

I presume you don't actually code, though?

(I think the idea is that 'forward' is the direction that text moves in -- to the right. With backslash falling 'backwards' and forward slash falling forwards.)

Yeah, coding using backslashes. C:\\ instead of C:/.

I still don't know why windows went with the whole drive letter designation thing... /dev/sda1 just sounds more programmer friendly as opposed to C:\

And interestingly enough, in your comment, you typed double backslashes, but it only showed one for me... Spoopy.

The whole Unix -> DOS thing was a pretty wholesale filing-off-of-serial-numbers. / became \\, - became /, /dev/foo became foo: ..
I don't think there was a real reason other than legal.

Well, since backslash is the escaping character, you have to escape it itself if you want a literal backslash to show up. I think that Furrin Gok may have actually intended to type quadruple backslash (which would show up as two backslashes.)

I can read windows code, a bit, but I never tried coding because I only have one PC and I don't trust myself to not fuck up, even if it is not with Windows code itself a wrong input can force you into a lengthy process of fixing what went wrong. Better to do it on something that isn't a daily usage machine.

A lot of developers develop at least partly in VMs, which avoids that particular issue pretty well, as well as letting you test on a bunch of OSes fairly easily.
