How to Edit the WIKI

First and foremost, BB Code does not work at this time... the same goes for code tags and spoiler tags. As is now, the Wiki runs off of HTML-esque code

For additional help, consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.

How to add in an Image

To add in an image you must follow these steps:

1. Look to the left of the page. On the sidebar, under Toolbox select the link that says "UPLOAD FILE"
2. Select Browse and select your image you want to upload... Note that although the maximum file-size is 10000x10000, you will most likely have to resize it before you upload it to fit the screen.
3. When you select your file, Copy down the auto-generated text under "Destination filename"... alternative, you may give it it's own filename from that menu.. though be sure the file extension stays at the end. If you want, feel free to add in a description, although it is optional
4. Scroll Down and Click Upload
5. Create/Edit the article in question. When you are in the article, on your text editor, select the image, or type in: [[File:PASTE DESTINATION FILENAME HERE]]
6. Click save and your article will now have an image

Alternate Way

On your article, type in [[File:FILENAME GOES HERE.jpg]] or click the image button at the top of the screen. Once the article is done, select save. Once the article goes back to the view page, Click the red link that was made from the file command. Select the image, make sure that the filename is the same; and hit upload


How to add an info-box

When adding in an infobox, if it is an Infobox for the page, make sure it is the very first thing written in the text editor, put everything under that. If you want to have the Infobox later on in the post, post it where ever you want it to appear on the right. The text to fill the spot beside it will go right underneath it

Copy/Paste the following code into your article http://www.pastebucket.com/2270 If you wish to add in more fields, all you need to do is add in:

|label# = text

|data# = text

under the other |label#, and |data# Fields. Change the # sign to the next number

It is not required for an Infobox to have label/data fields.. it will function fine with just the Name. The same goes for image, an image is not required


Table of Contents

A Table of contents is automatically added after 3 or more Header2's have been added to the article

How to add a Spoiler

To add a spoiler, use the following tags

<spoiler> some text </spoiler>

To add a named spoiler, include the code:

<spoiler text="something"> some text </spoiler>


Link your pages together

Internal Links

Normal Link

To quickly create an internal link, you can either click the Linked Chains icon in your edit-bar, or you can type in Two Square Brackets before and after what you are attempting to link.
EX: [[Name_Of_Article]]

Named Hyperlink

To Create a named Internal Link, just type in the following
EX: [[Name_Of_Article | Text_Goes_Here]]


External Links

To add an external link, just simple insert the URL (http:// included). To create a Named link, just type in [http://www.dot.com Name_Goes_Here]


Categories

A Category is used to show a list of items within alphabetic order.

Create a Category

To create a category, create a page with the title as Category:*CategoryName*

Assigning Pages to that Category

To assign a page to your category, go to the pages you wish to add to the Category, and add the line [[Category:CategoryName]] <!--Place Content Above This Line--> to the very bottom of the page


How to fix the Multi-Line Formatting Bug

If you are typing in something that appears on two lines in the editor, but on the article it appears side-by-side you can solve it either:

Simply placing <br> at the end of every line you are having a problem with (except the last one)

Encase each line that is having the problem with <p> </p> Tags
