Player Info Pages on the Wiki

Post by terryrayc » Tue Oct 23, 2007 1:58 pm

For a good example see:

http://www.arkaz.com/wiki/Sonja_Pyre

Now here's how it works.

Goto the wiki and create an account if you do not already have one. After that log into your account.

To add your entry (The Easy Way) goto Sonja's page

in the URL bar change Sonja_Pyre to your character's name...for example if you character is called Bob Bobber change it to Bob_Bobber

once you get the page loaded you'll be to an empty page that says there's nothing there..click on edit.

When the edit window opens paste in this default template.
{{Navi|World|Characters}}

{{Player Info
| full_title =
| image =
| race =
| class =
| alignment =
| faith =
| bplace =
| gender =
| hd =
}}

== History ==


== See Also ==


[[Category:Lore]]
[[Category:Characters]]
The top section (Player Info) is what builds the little box at the top with all the information in it. Under History put your players history

For now don't worry about things like adding links and such. I'll clean it up later. For now I'd like to handle linking to other pages because I want to make suer we keep the format the same on everything.

Now you'll notice Sonja has a picture. If you'd like to add a picture of your character do the following.

1) take a screenshot
2) crop the screenshot
3) resize to make sure it's 135 × 207 pixel (Or Close)
4) save the picture as a gif or jpeg
4) log into the wiki and click upload file
5) browse to your file
6) name your file (Use your characters name)
7) click the upload button.
8) make sure there aer no errors (Ignore the error if it's just a autorename error)
9) in your character bio find the line:

| image =

10) change it to (For Example Sonja's Pic):

| image = [[Image:Sonjapyre.gif]]

That's it

Once you are done editing click preview to make suer it looks okay then save it.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask either me or Thor.

I moved everyone who had an entry in the Who's Who forum over to the wiki and cleaned everything up. I've also added related 'Other World' info to the wiki if you included it in your bio. If anyone would like to look at that info and sharpen it up, please do.

Also Lets get those character bios published!!

I'm thinking about adding this to the Template for pages

Code: Select all

== Edit Details ==
pageby nominor="false" comments="false";
The above is wrapped by < > but the forums will not let me post them.



If you add that to the buttom of the page, you'll get something like the following displayed when you view the page:
---Edit Details -----------------------------------------------------
* Page created by Corwin, 25 October 2007
* Contributors: Corwin x5, Terryrayc x2
* Last modified by Terryrayc, 26 October 2007
Do you guys find that info usable or even needed?

I've added Character pages for everyone who's won Player of the Month. If you've won feel free to go to the wiki and update your characters page. If you don't have a page feel free to create a wiki account and add a page. Please see the instructions above.

I would definitely add to it however I've not figured out how to link a picture and a few other things. Will eventually make one for Michiko and Aiko though ^.^v
