Wagneers
not necessarily coders
structuring, configuring, arranging, querying…
the way in: “advanced”:
![Page 20: Wagn, how Wikirate rolls](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55890f26d8b42ad7788b45ba/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Wagneering Basics
Everything is a card
Every card has a unique name
Every card has a type
Every card is a member of many sets
Every rule is applied to a set of cards
![Page 21: Wagn, how Wikirate rolls](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55890f26d8b42ad7788b45ba/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
wagn.org ~ wikirate.org
Wagneering gets fun when you…
create your own types
connect card types
create structured content
include cards within cards
use contextual names
write WQL queries
