# Wiki
|
|
Welcome to the Wiki folder!
|
|
|
|
This folder contains all the files of the [PlaceholderAPI Wiki][wiki].
|
|
It allows you to contribute towards the wiki and us to have more control about what changes are commited to it.
|
|
|
|
## Contrbuting to the wiki
|
|
If you want to contribute towards the wiki, will you need to follow the below instructions to not get your Pull request closed without a warning.
|
|
|
|
### Fork the Repository (Not wiki!)
|
|
> Already having a fork? Skip to the [next Step](#select-target-branch)!
|
|
|
|
You need to make a fork of the PlaceholderAPI Repository to contribute towards the wiki.
|
|
To fork the repository, click the button on the top-right that says "Fork". In the new page, select the account/organisation you want to fork this repository towards and make sure to have "Copy the `master` branch only" unchecked, so that the `wiki` branch is copied too.
|
|
After this, click "Create fork".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The forking process should only take a few seconds and you should be redirected to your fork afterwards.
|
|
|
|
### Select target branch
|
|
All main changes to the wiki are made on the dedicated `wiki` branch.
|
|
Before you try to make any changes should you make sure that you have the `wiki` branch selected. To do that, check the button next to the `X branches` text. If it says anything other than `wiki` will you need to click it and select the right branch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Fetch Changes from Upstream
|
|
This is only required when you already had a fork and didn't update it for some time.
|
|
|
|
While you're on the `wiki` branch, click the `Sync Fork` text located right below the green `Code` button.
|
|
Depending on the status of your branch can the prompt show different outcomes:
|
|
|
|
- `This branch is not behind the upstream PlaceholderAPI:wiki`
|
|
Your fork's `wiki` branch is up-to-date with the latest changes from Upstream (This Repository). You don't have to update anything.
|
|
|
|
- `This branch is out-of-date`
|
|
Your fork's `wiki` branch is outdated and should be updated. Press the "Update branch" button to do so.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Commit changes
|
|
To commit changes will you need to choose, if you want to directly commit to your fork's `wiki` branch, or make a dedicated branch for it.
|
|
|
|
#### Make separate branch (Optional)
|
|
If you want to have a dedicated branch for it, will you need to click the button saying `wiki`, type in the small text field the name of the branch you want to use and click the text saying `Create branch: <branch> from 'wiki'`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After that should you now have a separate branch that is based of the `wiki` branch and you can finally commit changes to it.
|
|
|
|
#### Formatting
|
|
The wiki uses normal Markdown formatting with some special design-rules you need to keep in mind.
|
|
These rules are as follows:
|
|
|
|
- Unordered lists need to start with a `-` and not `*`. This is to not get it confused with *italic text* which uses single `*` characters.
|
|
- New lines in lists need to keep their indends. This means you need to add two spaces at the start to keep the text in the same line.
|
|
Example:
|
|
```markdown
|
|
- Line 1
|
|
Line 2
|
|
```
|
|
- Use the `[[Page]]` and `[[Text|Page]]` format to link to other wiki pages. While those aren't rendered in the wiki folder will they render in the final wiki pages.
|
|
- External links should be set as Refernce Links, which means they are set as `[text]: link` at the top of the page and then used either through `[text]` or `[display text][text]` througout the page.
|
|
|
|
#### Adding new Expansion
|
|
When you add a new expansion to the wiki's [Placeholder page][placeholders] will you need to follow the following format:
|
|
````markdown
|
|
- ### [:name](:link)
|
|
> :command
|
|
|
|
:text
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
:placeholders
|
|
```
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
There are a few extra rules you need to also keep in mind:
|
|
|
|
- `:name` would be the name of your Expansion, not the plugin (Unless it is integrated into your plugin).
|
|
- Only embed a link, if your Expansion requires a plugin to function.
|
|
- When linking to a Spigot page, make sure to sanitze the link.
|
|
This means that f.e. https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/placeholderapi.6245/ becomes https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/6245/
|
|
- `:command` should be replaced with either the PlaceholderAPI command to download your expansion from the eCloud (`/papi ecloud download :name`) or with `NO DOWNLOAD COMMAND` if no separate download is available.
|
|
- `:text` is optional and should only be provided to link to additional documentation, your own placeholder list, or explain more complicated placeholders/features.
|
|
- `:placeholders` will be the list of placeholders your expansion provides.
|
|
Please avoid specific examples (i.e. `%placeholder_player_user123%`) and instead use `<>` and `[]` to mark required and optional options respecively (`%placeholder_player_<player>%`)
|
|
|
|
**Note:**
|
|
When your Expansion's entry is after and/or before other entries will you need to add `----` before or after it to separate it from other entries.
|
|
|
|
##### Example:
|
|
````markdown
|
|
- ### SomeExpansion
|
|
> NO DOWNLOAD COMMAND
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
%someexpansion_placeholder%
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
- ### YourExpansion
|
|
> NO DOWNLOAD COMMAND
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
%yourexpansion_placeholder%
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
- ### AnotherExpansion
|
|
> NO DOWNLOAD COMMAND
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
%anotherexpansion_placeholder%
|
|
```
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
After you added your expansion to this page will you also need to add an entry to the list at the top of the page.
|
|
You do so by adding `- **[:text](#:name)**` to the list, where `:text` is the text to display (Usually the name you set) and `:name` is the name you just set. If your expansion shares the exact same name as another entry on the page will you need to make sure that your expansion is listed **after** the other one AND that the list-entry has a `-1` appended to `#:name` (So f.e. `#expansion` becomes `#expansion-1`).
|
|
|
|
Finally can you now commit your changes and move forward to the [Plugins using PlaceholderAPI][using_papi] page in the wiki folder.
|
|
|
|
#### Adding new plugin
|
|
This step is only required if you either add a new plugin to the list, or you added an Expansion that is included in your own plugin.
|
|
|
|
Similar to the [Placeholders page][placeholders] does this page follow a specific format which we will explain real quick.
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
- [:name](:link)
|
|
- [?] Supports placeholders.
|
|
- [?] Provides own placeholders. [:page]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here are the following rules:
|
|
|
|
- `:name` needs to be replaced with the Name of your plugin.
|
|
- `:link` needs to be the link of the plugin's resource page.
|
|
- If no resource page is available can a GitHub repository be linked (if available) or the link omited altogether)
|
|
- When linking to a Spigot page, make sure to sanitze the link.
|
|
This means that f.e. https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/placeholderapi.6245/ becomes https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/6245/
|
|
- `[?]` needs to be replaced with either `[ ]` or `[x]` depending on whether the mentioned option is supported or not.
|
|
- `:page` needs to replace with the right value, depending on the conditions.
|
|
- If your plugin provides own Placeholders for other plugins to use can you set `**[[Link|Placeholders#:name]]**` where `:name` is the title you set in the placeholders page.
|
|
- If your plugin does not provide own placeholders will you need to set `Link`.
|
|
|
|
### Make a Pull request
|
|
After you made your changes is it time to make a Pull request.
|
|
|
|
When you made changes to the branch should GitHub show you a prompt with a button saying "Compare & pull request". This prompt also shows up when you visit the upstream Repository while having changes on your fork.
|
|
Press the button to proceed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default will GitHub select the `master` branch as the target, which is not what we want. To fix this, click the button saying `base:master` and select the `wiki` branch.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**
|
|
> When the branch selection only shows branches and not the actual repositories does it mean that you're prompted to PR to your own fork.
|
|
> To fix this, press the "compare across forks" text shown, select `PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI` as the target repository (left side) and your fork as the source. Then select the wiki branch as mentioned above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, fill out the Pull request template and submit the Pull request.
|
|
Congratulations! You've successfully made a Pull request for the wiki.
