Emmy The Robot Fandom Wiki:Creating a page/Pre-rewrite: Difference between revisions

This will be a large repository of information on how to go about creating a page for a character. If you think it looks unfun to read, imagine writing it. This is here for me to provide you the tools I didn't have. This will be concise and directed, MUCH more can be done, but this will get you started. It is intended as a crash course.

 

 

To begin, navigate to the page you'd like to create using the format: <code>https://emmytherobot.miraheze.org/wiki/NAME</code>, where NAME is the subject of the article you are going to write about (ie Emmy, Franny, Waverly, The_Mendenhalls). Remember, spaces should be replaced with underscores (_). Once you navigate to the page, if it is blank, you will get a message stating so and an option to 'create this page'. Click it.

 

 

<!-- HTML generated using hilite.me --><div style="background: #ffffff; overflow:auto;width:auto;border:solid gray;border-width:.1em .1em .1em .8em;padding:.2em .6em;"><pre style="margin: 0; line-height: 125%">__NOTOC__

This is a base template page for a Nandroid.

[[Category:Name]]

</pre></div>

Above is a good starting blank page. Copy the text and paste it into your new blank page. To keep it simple, it is using a default 'infobox' template, like [[Waverly]]'s page, and so will look similar.

 

First thing to note, you can create links using the following syntax:

<div style="background: #ffffff; overflow:auto;width:auto;border:solid gray;border-width:.1em .1em .1em .8em;padding:.2em .6em;"><pre style="margin: 0; line-height: 125%">

<br>Internal links (links to pages on this wiki) can be linked by putting the name of the page between two sets of brackets ([[ ]]). Example: Waverly in brackets ([[Waverly]]) will redirect to https://emmytherobot.miraheze.org/wiki/Wavrely, without the need to have the full HTTPS link. Adding a pound symbol (#) will link to a certain section of a page. Adding a vertical bar (|) will let you change the displayed text, allowing for a shorter link. If a page hasn't been created yet the link will appear red.

 

If you include <code><nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki></code> at the top of your page it will remove the 'Contents' box. If you have many different sections it may be helpful to delete <code><nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki></code> so that the page is more easily navigated.

 

Be sure to properly tag categorize your page but using the <code><nowiki>[[Category:NAME]]</nowiki></code> link at the very bottom of the code snippet. The minimum should include 'Canon' or 'Fanon', along with any others you might think are relevant. Examples could be 'Canon People', 'Fanon Nandroids', 'Canon Outmodes', 'Canon Locations', 'Canon Events'.

 

The infobox is meant to give a quick overview of pertinent information. Fill out the information as follow:

<div style="background: #ffffff; overflow:auto;width:auto;border:solid gray;border-width:.1em .1em .1em .8em;padding:.2em .6em;"><pre style="margin: 0; line-height: 125%">| nanname = Nandroids Name

| age = Age

| activated = Is there an activation date that is relevant knowledge?

 

Not all the above information needs filled out. If you leave a space blank after the =, then it won't show up on the final page. Any alphanumeric information can be put into the above area. Take a look at a few pages to figure out the kind of 'style' that would help fit in the wiki.

 

Images in the infobox are automatically scaled as close to 225x330 as possible, while retaining their aspect ratio. For best results, create a thumbnail or crop an image to that size.

 

 

As you write your page, be sure to include sources for your information in the format <code><nowiki><ref>LINKTOINFO Description</ref></nowiki></code>. If you are the creator of a character and are giving them a page, having the reference be: Creator/Self, is acceptable.

 

LINK LINK LINK!! The best part of a wiki is it's interconnectivity! Be sure to add lots of interwiki links [[ ]] to your article to help bring everything together and make it easier for others to find your work!

 

The strength of Wikipedia comes from it's ability to be fact checked and corrected! An image from the booru, a tweet by an author, a post on 4chan, anything for verification of the information you include!

 

This is a quick setup to creating a page but much, MUCH more can be done. Below are a few links to show the kind of text mark-up and coding that could be done to a page, if you were so inclined. You can control nearly anything: text size, color, alignment, images, special texts, etc.<br>
