[edit] System Reference Document
|
The wiki currently hosts the Arcana Evolved SRD which is a series of pages connected by a common toolbar for easy navigation. The pages provides access to the Arcana Evolved rules, but all Intellectual Property has been cleaned away, so the rules are now available for all, in accordance with the legal rights set forth by Monte Cook. To start browsing the "AE SRD" as we call it for short, you can start at the Akashic, and use the AE SRD menu at the right side of the screen.
Feel like creating other SRD's for other Monte products? Go right ahead! |

[edit] Skins
|
Getting tired of how the Akashic Record looks? Maybe you want the layout to reflect your favorite Malhavoc Press product. Maybe you prefer a layout with a more traditional wiki feel. Change it! Go to Skins in your account preferences, & try out all nine possibilities. You're sure to find one that suits you best. |
[edit] Akashic Record Search
|
You can search the Wiki using the Wiki search, but we also provide Akashic Record Search. A customized Google search engine which only searches your favourite websites for possible matches. This provides a great way to access "all things Monte". Go see the Akashic Record Search! We've included many known resources, but if you have a blog or know a website which would be relevant to include in the search, be sure to speak up. Everybody is welcome. |
[edit] Watermarks
Don't feel unsure when submitting your content to a Wiki. Even if you consider publishing it at some point in time. The Akashic Record wiki holds the ability to apply a watermark to a page. When a page is watermarked it will show a blue box with your custom avatar icon, telling other people to not edit it directly, but discuss changes on the talk page. The box may look something like this:
When you watermark a page, a special category is automatically created on the wiki containing all the pages you watermarked so have direct access to them. All users on the wiki enforce the principle of no changes by anybody but the author on Watermarked pages.
If you want help on how to add a watermark to a page, and add your custom icon, see the help page on watermarks.
[edit] One page - multiple views
|
The Wiki has the ability to show a page in different ways depending on the context it is in. This sounds very abstract, but let's look at a real example: It's long, costs nothing and made of wood. It's a Club. If you press the link above, you will see a page like this: This page shows all the gory details of the weapon and provides an in-depth (ahem) description of the item. This view is always shown if the item is accessed directly - like following the link above. Another option is to refer to the The weapon will appear, in a completely different way if referred to from the character sheet templates: |
