DQWiki:GM Information

From DQWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Some pages contain information that is primarily intended for GMs and is not generally available to all PCs. It may be known to some PCs (such as those who have visited and explored a particular area) or it may be available through research or use of other skills.

All of the information in the DQWiki is available to all players, and since all of the GMs are also players it would be difficult to do otherwise, but just like spoilers for books or movies, some players may wish to not know things that are not available to their characters, and a couple of tools have been added to the DQWiki to help with this.

One is the {{gminfo}} template which can be added either to pages solely dedicated to GM information, or at the foot of a general page to denote that the section following contains primarily GM information.

The second option is an in-line spoiler box which renders a area with white on white text that can be read if desired by highlighting. This uses a template and some text to conceal in the format {{spoiler|Text to conceal}}, and is most appropriate for a small spoiler that is best kept with the text it refers to, rather than being on its own page.

Full example of the use of the templates can be found on the DQWiki Templates page.
