Wiki-lost

So, it’s looking like the mud is done. Now would be a -great- time to start working on a wiki page for characters/events/companies while they’re still fresh in your mind, if you want to do them. Also on that note, is anyone here familiar with wikiformats? There are help sites and editing guides, but they’re only helpful to a certain point, and I can admit that I’ve never done anything with wikipedia or related sources. Would a kind soul mind helping me out here or by dropping a PM?

To summarize a little, here’s some basic Wiki markup:

[code:zetfv26h]==This is a header==
===This is a sub-header===
===Here’s another sub-header===

”Italicized text”
”’Bold text”’
””’Italicized & Bold text””’

This provides an internal wiki link to the [[Corellian]] wiki page all on its own.
This will link to ‘Leia Solo Organa’ but just display ‘Leia’. [[Leia Solo Organa|Leia]].

These will add this page into categories, for easy sorting and navigation:
[[Category:Characters]]
[[Category:Skills]]

To display a picture, first you have to upload it to the Wiki server, then link to it from your page:
[[Image:wiki.png]]
[[Image:wiki.png|Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.]]
[[Image:wiki.png|right|Wikipedia Encyclopedia]]

Basic table formatting using wiki markup:
{| align=right
|-
|
Place images here
|}

Couple other useful tags:
<small></small> for smaller text (good for captions)
<s></s> for strikeout
<u></u> for underline
<pre></pre> for preserving formatting (basically the same as the [code] tags on this forum
<!– –> For leaving comments in your wiki markup that others can see when editing, but not viewing your page

Wikipedia is smart enough to recognize embedded html, javascript, css, and likely many other scripting languages. So if you don’t want to use Wiki markup, you definitely aren’t restricted to it. It just makes things purdy. Hope this helps a bit.

You can steal layouts, if you’re too lazy… then you’d just have to plug in your own character’s specifics. Andvari, Ralen, Walldo, I all have our own; look around the &quot;Category:Characters&quot; page (<!– m –><a class="postlink" href="http://www.legendsofthejedi.com/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Characters">http://www.legendsofthejedi.com/wiki/in … Characters</a><!– m –>) for others.
