Evil-Wizards Wiki Guide

Hey guys, I just wrote this to Onjo so this is more appropriate for him but can help anyone, just a little guide to using TOR RP wiki (specifically, all Wikis have variations). Hope it helps.

Alright, so evil-wizards is just one wikipedia page and every wikipedia page has slight variations so everything I say will not work on every wikipedia.

The most important thing to know to do is just go to any page, if you see something you like, click edit on the page, find what you liked (or just the whole page) and copy it and paste onto the page you're working on. That's how I learned how to do everything and I won't tell you how to do the side window (where people put basic information on the character, story or guild) because it's really not worth learning how to write that entire section, just copy it from someone else's page and change the words to your liking. Writing that section is really not worth the trouble. Here's a basic one I've written for your character.

Copy and paste that to a new page, change any information you want to. (Erg! Just hit quote to copy that section, transcribes all the text with all of the commands I wrote with it.)

The name of your character will already be at the top of the page when you make the new entry (easiest through the evil-wizards main page) To make headings for a section use two equal signs on each side of the word you want, like so

Quote :

== Background Information ==
Whatever you want

Now to make sub-headings within that heading use three equal signs, like so

Quote :

=== History ===
Whatever you want

This will make the words in-between the equal signs bold and a larger size above the information that you write. And it will automatically make a table of contents for your page.

Alright, little things, there are examples of all of these in my big weird text jamble jomble up there, but here are some really useful commands.

Quote :

[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Republic The Galactic Republic]

Alright, brackets on each side, first put the link then put a space then the text you want to display, everything after the space will show up.

Quote :

[["Blasters For Hire"]]

Everything in between the double brackets needs to exactly match the page on the TOR RP wiki that you want to link to. Characters, ships, stories or guilds, whatever.

Oh, silly things.

Quote :

''Something''

Two apostrophes around something makes something italics.

Quote :

'''Something'''

Three apostrophes around something makes something bold.

Quote :

*Something

Putting an asterisk in front of something makes it turn into list format.

Alright! I think that's everything. If you guys need any more help, just let me know.

Awesome guide mate! Good job.

Is it ok if I move this to help topics?

Right, great idea. Forgot about that.

That's amazing Black Heart! I sooo could have used that patching my pages together. Those new recruits are darn lucky!!

An excellent guide - thanks!

Useful page Black Heart! You're a great credit to the guild

Well done!

well done

Nice... wish i had that 2 days ago hehe. Copy & paste is the new form of learning of our generation^^

Thanks for this guide BH, this will make it much easier to post my character bio.

The help is much appreciated.

Good job with the guide, BH. I'll give my page a go now!

Here's what I've done so far, does anyone mind checking it as it's the first time I've done it before. And I don't want to mess anything up

Looking very good so far, nice work. You've paid close attention to timeline so far as I can see which I know is difficult!

Can't wait to see the history/background come together. Sterling job!

Looks great, Tando! Let us know when you've finished filling it in.

Very nice indeed! Esepcially as it's a first time attempt. Maybe if you make it in as full member then Lunarwolf might create a nice little 3-D model for you to put in that box.

3-D Model, that sounds cool.

Nice work there.

The enthusiasm is flattering but it might be a bit premature to be asking that just 3 days after registering. I'd give it a week at least!

hahaha

Thanks, its a good help and i have made my first character he is named Ethan Zhane. He is not finsih yet, but during this week i expect to be finish.

Oooooo nice one Nord. I shall add him to the wiki roster.

thx

I started my wiki page (finally). I've still t6o do the actual write up, although it's almost done. Thanks for this guide. I wouldn't have had a clue otherwise.

Nice one bud. Let me know what the link to it is if you can and I'll add you to the Agents of the E.P.O.C.H section of the wiki.

First of all thanks for this, it's been very useful.
