=Overview= <i>WORK IN PROGRESS, Deadbot uploader is not yet programmed, this is pre-emptive documentation for prototyping the process. All concepts and procedures are experimental.</i> Deadbot Tags are indicators used by https://github.com/deadlock-wiki/deadbot that uploads data to the wiki. It tells it where human-edited sections are so that it doesn't edit them. =What does a tag look like?= A tag looks like the following. Note that <code><nowiki><!--this--></nowiki></code> is how text is commented out in wikitext.<br> <pre> <!--[[Deadbot Tag]]: Update history Start--> </pre> ''Note: Not to be confused with [[Changelogs|Changelog Tags]]'' =What do tags do?= Tags mark content that are edited manually, as opposed to being edited by Deadbot. <br> For example, if a page's source is <pre> <page start> <deadbot written code> <!--[[Deadbot Tag]]:Introduction Start--> '''Abrams''' is hard-boiled, hard-hitting bruiser of a character that focuses on engaging groups of enemies and relying on his fortitude and life drain to stay in the fight. With a powerful area stun and a devastating shoulder charge, Abrams can isolate fragile targets from the rest of the team and set-up his more damaging allies to finish them off. A capable and well-known detective of New York, Abrams solved crimes ranging from kidnappings to ritual murders. One day, a mysterious Tome was left on his desk with a note of "Don't let them have it" scrolled in Onyx blood; followed by car bombings and break-ins to his office. Now, Abrams is trying to figure out just what the hell is going on. <!--[[Deadbot Tag]]:Introduction End--> <more deadbot written code> <page end> </pre> With the above example, all content between <code>Introduction Start</code> and <code>Introduction End</code> is written manually. For the purposes of this documentation, this is referred to as <b>tagged content</b>. <br> =What is untagged content= <b>Untagged content</b> refers to content that is not between a Start and End tag. In the previous example, the untagged content is the <code><deadbot written code></code> and <code><more deadbot written code></code>. For pages that utilize Deadbot, untagged content is automatically uploaded by the bot when the page is created. Pages that utilize Deadbot will have at the very top of the page "[[User:DeadBot]]". Most will also have a Deadbot Tag somewhere on the page. Current pages that utilize DeadBot are individual Hero, Ability, and Item pages, such as [[Abrams]], [[Shoulder Bash]], and [[Basic Magazine]]. =Editing untagged content= If untagged content is edited, Deadbot will see it as different than expected and repair that section in the page, <b>removing any edits made</b>. This repair does not affect manually written tagged content. =Editing tags= Do <b>NOT</b> edit the tag. If a tag is edited, such as, changing <code>Update history Start</code> to <code>Update History Start</code>, it will not be recognized by Deadbot anymore. As a result, all of the enclosed content is subject to being <b>wiped</b> out and re-initialized by Deadbot. All other tagged content will not be edited, however. =Feedback and suggestions= Feedback regarding untagged (meaning botted) content is always welcome! However, as discussed in [[User:DeadBot/Tags#Editing untagged content]], edits cannot be made directly, but rather need to come through the {{Discord}} in the #wiki channel or via the [https://github.com/deadlock-wiki/deadbot DeadBot GitHub]. Ideas regarding tagged (meaning manually written) content is also always welcome! Going through the Discord or GitHub is not necessary, though still recommended. To the concerned page, simply create a Start and End tag (exactly as outlined in the example at [[User:DeadBot/Tags#What do tags do?]]), and all enclosed content can be anything you wish! <br>If it should be a section that's added to all pages of similar nature, i.e. all Hero pages, then reach out in the Discord to have the DeadBot crew help out and make it a permanent change by adding it to the [[User:DeadBot/blueprints]]! <br>The wiki is constantly growing, with lots of room for expansion. No idea is foolish, so always be willing to share!
