Make a Page

How to make a page

It's easier than you think!

To start making a page, type the name of the page into the search box at the top of the wiki, then click the red text. This will bring you into an editor for that page.

Infobox

Most pages about towns or characters will have an Infobox, which is the small box that appears on the right side of the page which has some quick information and a picture. Simply copy this code into the top of your page editor and edit it to say whatever you want. For the image, just click after the equals sign in "image = " in the code, then click the "embedded file" button at the top of the editor (the mountains icon). Upload your image and then click Insert and it will insert the appropriate image into the infobox.

Any field in the Infobox can be deleted if the information is not needed: just remove that line entirely.

For settlements:

 {{Infobox settlement
 | image = 
 | country = [[Country Name]]
 | province = Put the province name here
 | races = Put your races here
 | languages = Put your languages here
 | religions = Put your religions here
 }}
 

For literature:

 {{Infobox text
 |     type = 
 | subtitle = 
 |   author = 
 | language = 
 |     date = 
 }}
 

See AllPages/Template: for a list of all the available templates. If you want to know all the available fields of an infobox you can click edit on its page to see its code. The names of the fields will be contained in the data rows. For example, this is the code of the Infobox_relic, its fields are image, type, origin, effects, and status (all in lower case).

{{Infobox
| title    = {{{title|{{PAGENAME}}}}}
| image    = {{{image|}}}
| caption1 = '''Relic'''
| label1   = Type
|  data1   = {{{type|}}}
| label2   = Origin
|  data2   = {{{origin|}}}
| label3   = Effects
|  data3   = {{{effects|}}}
| label4   = Status
|  data4   = {{{status|}}}
}}

Subheadings

Subheadings like the one right above this sentence can be added easily with equals signs.

 == Subheading goes here ==
 === This is a smaller subheading ===
 

Two equals signs is the largest subheading, and you can do up to six equals signs for the smallest.

Text formatting

Text formatting like bold and italics can be done through the buttons at the top of the editor, or through markup:

 
 '''this text is bold'''
 ''this text is italics''
 '''''this text is bold AND italics'''''
 [[Brackets]] automatically link to a page with the same name
 

To link to another page, just surround words with double brackets. [[Unlantis]] becomes Unlantis.

A full list of formatting options can be found here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting

Example

A full wiki page would look like this in the editor:

 {{Infobox settlement
 | image = [[File:file.jpg|thumb|Description]]
 | country = [[Country Name]]
 | races = Put your races here
 | languages = Put your languages here
 }}

 == Heading 1 ==
 Everything about this topic goes here!!! '''This text is super important so is bold'''

 === Subheading ===
 More text more text
 

That's it! Super simple. Just click "save page" when you're done and your page will be live. The "contents" box that you see on this page is automatically generated from your headings. If you see something on another page and you're not sure how to format your page to look like that, you can always click Edit at the top to see how it has been formatted and just copy the format into your page.
