Writing, Syntax and Template

Below is a basic template for you to base your page of. There are comments to explain aspects of the source that are not easily understood.

On every article that talks about a technique that can be replicated, include a clip on the right. This clip should ensure the following are followed:

• Make sure you have an input overlay. You can download the following nohboard config I currently use here, feel free to discuss what the default input overlay should be on the Deadlock Movement Doc thread.
• That cl_showpos 2 is enabled in the console.
• That your character is Infernus. If the tech cannot be done using Infernus, use Haze. If it is a character specific technique, use that specific character.
  • Infernus has been chosen for the following reasons:
    • Infernus has no special innate properties relating to movement. (e.g. Ivy has the unique ability to move at full speed while shooting; this would make it impossible to make a clip with Ivy on M1 Slowdown.)
    • Infernus is a commonly seen and known character in matchmaking. This ensures that readers know who Infernus is and that this technique can be done across characters.
    • Infernus has clear animations for dashing and sliding, unlike other characters.
• The video is h264 for playability across all devices.
• The map is the sandbox map (new_player_basics). If the tech cannot be done on the sandbox map, use the dl_midtown map.

If you don't need a clip, delete the WRAP block at the top of page source. If there is no clip, consider inserting a relevant image on the topic.

If you need to use $ \LaTeX $ for math equations, see the documentation on dokuwiki. </WRAP>

When writing for the Deadlock Movement Wiki, please ensure the following:

1. That you use LaTeX notation for writing out math equations. If you do not know LaTeX notation, feel free to use an online equation creator, or learn it at the relevant article at overleaf.com, found here.
   1. For documentation for specifically the dokuwiki implementation, see the latex plugin
2. That you use British English. Do not use American English.
3. That heroes have their icon (specifically, the hero_mm icon) put in front of them. Refer below to find how to insert them.
   1. When in tables, use their card icon.
4. Link the first mention of a technique or character to their respective pages.

You are able to insert custom icons by typing in the valid keyword.

To insert Vitality, Weapon and Spirit icons, insert the keyword on the right:

Symbol	Type
Vitality	<vitality>
Weapon	<weapon>
Spirit	<spirit>
Spirit Scale	<spiritscale>
Souls	<soul>
Movement Rune	<rune_movement>
Casting Rune	<rune_spirit>
Gun Rune	<rune_gun>
Survival Rune	<rune_survival>

If a character is mentioned outside of a paragraph, try to prefix it with their card picture. If a character is mentioned in a paragraph, prefix instead with their mm icon. Below is a list of what you need to insert in order to make the icons appear:
