Tips to find stuff in this wiki.

Not about Help on the game - rather see:

Category:Ryzom, the game (and its sub categories),
spoilers should be under Category:Mysteries,
Returning on Ryzom ? (for homins who want a resume of this last years main patches): Patch 2020 (see top navigation bar for previous years) and for new comers Category:Starting Out
Glossary on Category:Glossary

Various tips and links

On your favorite search engine, typing for example site:en.wiki.ryzom.com patch map will return all content (pages, images tagged...) found on https://en.wiki.ryzom.com with the patch or "map" terms
See the following categories: Category:Help and the Help namespace.
Most of the pages created by the homins should be somewhere under Roleplay (Player Characters...) or one of the Gameplay subcategories (in-game help for Fight, Craft...). Please use Mysteries (for spoilers).
- Please do not put these categories in your pages (use the sub-subcategories of Encyclopatys or only Roleplay or Gameplay): Encyclopatys, Wikipatys, Forge and Lore.
- More on Categorization and Categorization/Help (rewriting in progress in April/March 2020).
Pages under your profile are, by default,quite hidden (ex: User:YourName/Draft, User:YourName/OOC) as long as no categories have been added.

For images (all on Common wiki, for all our wikis: in English, German, French, Spanish and Russian - default language is English): help about categorization SOS/catImage, or use the right part categories on the common Main page.
To search and/or replace text in wiki code (in page edit mode), unfold Advanced, Search and Replace is on the far right.

To have several contexts, we can use the Firefox containers, they are like tabs of colors assigned to different tasks/cookies. This allows for example to have the same site open in different sessions (useful for translators, website testers, and also to have several characters on the same app out of game - like bm or armory). More at Tips for wiki contributors.
To see the last changes, on our several wikis (in an array): Wiki Technical Guide/Special Pages
To search in a RC channel: https://rocket.chat/docs/user-guides/channel-actions/#search-messages. Some tips are on Chat/RC FAQ:Searching in a channel.

On top, there's several very handy links:

simple search is very partial, because it don't use all name spaces
for ex, search with magi* is much better, as it will find pages "Magic", "Magical" etc

The search works "by language", because each wiki has its own database (EN, FR, DE, SP and RU + common: look at the beginning of the URL addresses at the following points: en.wiki fr.wiki but also atys.wiki.ryzom.com).
Once you have launched a Search, you will arrive on a page called Search Results - which has the following links:

Portals show you some selected pages (see down page the main portals).

Categories are at the heart of how wikis work, they should be seen as tags.
Categories are displayed at the bottom of pages.

You can add several categories to one of your pages, so that it can be easily found.
