== Creating the Page ==
To create a wiki page copy the name of the quest from your {{Icode|quest complete}} output. For example if the quest complete log says:
{{MUDdisplay|
    2  [51200] Discovered an ambush party!
}}
You would search for {{Icode|Discovered an ambush party!}}
After searching there will be a link to create the page if it does not exist.


==Markup==
== Content Template ==


===The Header===
Your quest page should look like this
The header is the first part of a quest article and looks like this (Example taken from: [[Quest:Red demon hide]]


{{MUDdisplay |<nowiki>{{QuestHeader
{{MUDdisplay|
|quest=Helped Lojban
|questor=Lojban
|level=1-2
|repeatable=yes
}}</nowiki>}}


Let's detail the different parameters:
;Area
* quest - '''Required''' - This is the name of the quest
:<Area of the quest here>
* questor - '''Required''' - Mob that hands out the quest
* level - '''Required''' - Suggested level range for the quest


===Steps===
=== Guide (Author: Your Name) ===
Steps hopefully are the bulk of the article and are equally easy to make


{{MUDdisplay |<nowiki>{{QuestStep
# Step 1, do a thing
|step=1
# Step 2, do another thing
|area=The Grassy Field
|items=a piece of red demon hide
|hints=Kill the red-skinned imps for the hide
}}</nowiki>}}


Properties:
=== Reward ===
* step - '''Required''' - Sequence number for the step (I can't generate these programatically so just follow along
* area - '''Required''' - The area this step takes place in
* items - '''Required if appropriate''' - Any items that the player may need for this step in the quest (a key, a potion, etc.)
* hints - Optional, any additional info you can give to help with this step of the quest


===Rewards===
List any and all rewards from the quest here
And the last part of your quest guide


{{MUDdisplay |<nowiki>{{QuestRewards| Leveled Exp, Leveled Gold|notes=Any notes here, repeatable, holiday event, etc.}}</nowiki>}}
[[Category:Quests]]


Simply invoke the template with the only argument being a description of the rewards for the quest.
