Idle Server Defender Wiki — How to Use It

This wiki is here to help you with everything in Idle Server Defender — enemies, upgrades, strategies, systems and more. Here’s how you can use it and contribute!

Searching for Information

• Use the search box at the top to type what you’re looking for (e.g., "Virus Alpha", "Firewalls", "Boosts").
• If the page exists, it will open.
• If not, you’ll see a message that the page doesn’t exist yet.

Creating a New Page

• Search for a topic that doesn’t exist yet.
• You’ll see a red link saying "create this page" — click it.
• You’re taken to the editor — write your content and click Save page.

Example: To create a page about a new enemy type, search "Enemy: Virus Alpha". If it’s not found, click the red link to make it.

Editing Pages

• On any page, click Edit at the top.
• Add or fix information.
• Use Show preview to check your changes before saving.
• Click Save page when done.

Linking Between Pages

• To link to another page in your text, use double brackets:
• Enemy: Virus Alpha
• Upgrade: Firewall Boost
• System: Prestige

• If a page doesn’t exist yet, the link will appear red — click it to create the page.

Categories

• Add pages to a category to help organize content. Put these at the bottom of a page:

• Each category auto‑generates an index of all pages in it.

Tips for Contributors

• Use clear, consistent titles — e.g., "Enemy: Virus Beta", "Upgrade: Auto‑Patch".
• Break content into sections: stats, description, strategy.
• Screenshots help a lot — upload them when possible.
• Respect other players’ edits — collaborate!
