==Creating a Page==
<inputbox>

placeholder=Create a page on Dragalia Lost Wiki

</inputbox>
Creating a page can be done through the above input box or by searching for a non-existent page using the search bar on the top right.

If the page already exists, you'll be redirected to it instead.

==Editing Guidelines==
* Use proper grammar and spelling
** Stick to American English, in order to be consistent with the game.
* Don't vandalize pages
* Avoid editorializing -- stick to facts
* Use [[:Category:Quick Icon Templates|Quick Icon Templates]] when possible, in order to stay consistent with the rest of the wiki.

===Style Guidelines===
* When indicating an amount of currency in a chart, use the Quick Icon Template (icon only) followed by a number:
** {{Diamantium}} 40
** {{Wyrmite}} 40
** {{Mana}} 40
** {{Eldwater}} 40
*** Additionally, values presented like this should be left-aligned, in order to align the icons.
* When indicating an amount of materials in a chart, use the Quick Icon Template (text + icon) followed by a number:
** {{Flame Orb-}} x40
** {{Talonstone-}} x40
** {{Dragonfruit-}} x40
** {{Waterwyrm's Scale-}} x40
*** Additionally, values presented like this should be left-aligned, in order to align the icons.
* When referring to a quantity of currency, materials, etc. within a sentence, use the Quick Icon Template (text + icon), with the number preceding it:
** It will cost you 40 {{Diamantium-}} to perform this action.
* When indicating a number which is one thousand or greater, include the proper comma every third non-decimal digit:
** 1,000
** 1,500
** 10,000
** 27,500
**If making a template that pulls from [[Special:CargoTables|Cargo Tables]], the magic word <nowiki>{{formatnum:}}</nowiki> can help parse values, e.g. <nowiki>{{formatnum:123456789.99}}</nowiki> produces {{formatnum:123456789.99}}.

===Acceptable Date Formats===
*Most templates utilize the magic words <nowiki>{{#time:F d, Y h:i:s A e|}} and {{#time:F d, Y|}}</nowiki> and are thus able to accept a variety of formats which are parsed and stored internally as UTC.
*The following are accepted: backslashes (2019/1/1), dashes (2019-1-1), most manner of timezones (+9, +9 hours. +0930, JST, GMT +9) and commas in the correct spacing (November 20th, 2019).
*The following are not accepted and will throw errors: any dots as they cause non integer values, including dot spacing (2019.1.1) and specifying timezones in non integer (+9.5).
*If no timezone is specified e.g. October 04, 2018 06:00, the syntax automatically assumes UTC.
