== Note ==
Everything in boxes is what you add in your item page, everything else, including the headers in this Help page, is comments to describe what to do, how and why.


== Top Templates ==
At the very top of the page always add these templates:

<pre>{{Template:Metakey}}{{Template:Metadesc}}{{I18n}}
{{Category_playerinfo}}
{{Status green}}</pre>

* [[Template:Metakey|Metakey]] and [[Template:Metadesc|Metadesc]] are important to make google and other search engines find that page easier.
* [[Template:i18n|i18n]] adds the translation links.
* [[Template:Category playerinfo|Category playerinfo]] adds an information that this page is a reference for player.
* [[Template:Status green|Status green]] is pretty much like [[Template:Category playerinfo|Category playerinfo]] but also adds the information that players are free to edit this page. This template will be missing on protected pages like the [[Main Page]] or [[Game Rules]] which only [https://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=sysop Wiki Administrators] and [https://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=bureaucrat Bureaucrats] can edit.


== Item Template ==
Depending on which [[Category]] the item is, a special template will be used.

* [[Template:Chest Armor‏‎]]
* [[Template:Arm Armor‏‎]]

Example:

<pre>{{ITEM CATEGORY
  |Name           = [[Item name]]
  |Image          = [[File:item.png]]
  |ID             = Item ID
  |Description    = Item description
  |Level          = required equip level (not level to obtain it!), delete Level line if none
  |Stats increase = formatting example: "Vitality +1", delete Stats increase line if none
  |Stats decrease = formatting example: "M.Attack -1", delete Stats decrease line if none
  |Buyable        = Yes or no
  |Buy            = formatting example: "1,000", it will add "GP" automatically
  |Sell           = formatting example: "1,000", it will add "GP" automatically
  |Weight         = formatting example: "1,000", it will add "g" automatically
}}</pre>

== Info ==
<pre>== Info ==
Put here some general information about the item.</pre>


== Uses ==
<pre>== Uses ==
Put here the stats of the item and maybe some additional info about the usage.


Example:

"While usual mages have a staff equipped the Scarab Armlet doesn't allow equipping a two-handed weapon like a staff but together with the Rock Knife, which boosts your Vitality by 3, the Scarab Armlet's M.Attack boost of +5 can become quite handy."</pre>


== Sources ==
Example:

<pre>* [[Newbie Quests]]
* Buyable from [[Shop NPCs]]
* [[Red Slime]] drop (5.5%)</pre>


== See Also ==
Put here the correct category, example:
<pre>* [[Item Reference/Charm]]
* [[Charm]]
* [[:Category:Charm]]</pre>


== Complete example ==
You can copy & paste the code below but remember to replace the information correctly.

We use the [[Scarab Armlet]] as example here:

<pre>{{Template:Metakey}}{{Template:Metadesc}}{{I18n}}
{{Category_playerinfo}}
{{Status green}}

{{Shield
  |Name           = [[Scarab Armlet]]
  |Image          = [[File:Armor-hands-scarabarmlet.png]]
  |ID             = 585
  |Description    = A scarab armlet.
  |Stats increase = M.Attack +5
  |Buyable        = No
  |Buy            = 8,000
  |Sell           = 4,000
  |Weight         = 200
}}

== Info ==
The [[Scarab Armlet]] is one of the most seeked for and most rare items in [[The Mana World]]. Only very few people own one. It is not obtainable in the game anymore.

Remember that [[Shields]] can only be equipped with a one-handed Weapon.


== Uses ==
The [[Scarab Armlet]] is the only Shield that doesn't boost your defense and the only one that doesn't give a huge penalty on Magic Attack, it even boosts a player's Magic Attack by 5. This makes it useless for warriors but an interesting alternative for players. 


While usual mages have a staff equipped the Scarab Armlet doesn't allow equipping a two-handed weapon like a staff but together with the [[Rock Knife]] which boosts your Vitality by 3 the Scarab Armlet can become quite handy.


== Sources ==
* none, this item is unobtainable in the game and can only be obtained by trading with other players
