So You Want To Write A Wiki Page?

With the brand new introduction of a site wiki page, I thought it would be an excellent idea to write this little guide. Wiki coding can be a little complex, and looking at it for the first time is absolutely alien unless you know how to maneuver it, but in all actuality it’s very simple! So this here is a little guide so that you may create your very own page!

First things first, you have to create an account! This is a very easy step, and will probably be the easiest thing to do, so go on to the site wiki and hit register!

Once you are signed up, you have to decide what kind of page you want to create.

There are a couple kinds of pages that you can make, namely:

• Tribute Pages
  
• Member Pages
  
• Character Pages
  

I’m going to teach you to make these three, though they are mostly very very similar!

In order to create a page, first you must check and see if there is already one in creation:




To do this, you can use the search bar on the top right of this page, once you search, you should come up with a nice,




Perfect! Now let’s create a page!


TRIBUTE PAGE


A tribute page is probably the easiest one to make, as it’s already all coded for you ! All you have to do is full in the blanks, and you’re good to go!

'''tribute name''' is a tribute in the [[__ Hunger Games]]. S/He is notable for

</noinclude>


Now let’s go through and explain what you have to put where section by section!

FIRST SECTION:





The top bit is easy, and very fill in the blank, who is the tribute you’re making this for? What are they notable for? What Games were they in?

The code is where it starts getting a little fun.

Three = signs down is the word “name”, this is where you put the name of the tribute, in this case Fitz Ripley.

Two rows down, where it says File: this is where you’re going to put the picture of the tribute, all tribute pictures are already stored in the website, so all you have to do is enter the correct code and the picture will show up.

HG__(th/st/nd)_(m/f).jpg

In the first underlined space, you put whatever Games the tribute was in, in Fitz case he was in the 61st. So you’ll put 61 in the blank and have the st next to it, deleting the rest. The second underlined space is what district the tribute is from, and then whether they are male and female.

So Fitz code would be HG61st4m.jpg

Right next to it, where it says alt = name, you just write the tributes name again. So it should look like this




NEXT PART:

A lot of this code is fill in the blank, I have taken the liberty of even labeling it for you with “insert bla here” just delete that and insert exactly what’s needed!




Again, you have to put in your tributes game, the section right after that you put whatever alliance they were in, for the part right after, if the alliance is more than one word you_must_put_underlines_between_each_word when you repeat the alliance name after the | however, the underlines are no longer needed.

If your tribute was in more than one alliance, put in a coding break <br /> directly after that line and do the last step right over again.

Same goes for the victim names, after however amount of kills the tributes got, you must put a line break.
Two rows below there is the played by: section, under User: put the person’s username, and do the same right after the break, this will look like:




Awesome!


The actual sections:

Now we’re into the actual sections, this is about the easiest part possible.

To make a big heading you use two equal signs on each side of your main header, for instance

== Life ==

And then for small sub-headers within life, you put three equal signs

=== Early Life ===






You may do this as much as you please ! This is your article, do any and all sub-headers that you feel are necessary to outline your tribute, from family, early life, to the day by day analysis of in games and their death!


THE MOST IMPORTANT PART




This is definitely the most important part of any article that you do; this is the part that will determine where your tribute gets classified in the larger pages. All tributes and characters are submitted into small subsection pages that list them, and this part of the code is what classifies them.

All you have to do is input the information! What Games was this tribute in, and what District their from!
Very simple! But very important.



Your finished product should look a little something like:



If you just want to make a character page, with no tribute information, just use this code:

MEMBER PAGE:

The member page code is very similar to that of the tribute page, the only differences, are the table that comes along at the bottom saying all of the characters that you own, all of the tributes you possessed, and you must upload your very own picture! Scary endeavors indeed.

{{Infobox
|name         = Infobox/doc
|bodystyle    =
|title        =  (your name)

|data4   = when did you join
|header5 =
|label5  = Status
|data5   = member, staff member, shiny dinosaur?
|header6 =
|label6  = Tribute(s)
|data6   = had a tribute? <br /> had more than that?
|header7 =
|label7  = Notable Achievements
|data7   = done anything notable?
|header8 =
|label8  = Other Names
|data8   = you got any nicknames?

}}
