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 but each section will contain a link to more advanced features.
==Page Creation==
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 (_). You may have to get creative if a page already exists under a certain name but isn't for the character you are wanting (ie Emmy is taken, but you could use Emmy_(Alternate_Universe)). 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.▼

===Explanation===
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. The sections can be renamed to anything you think is relevant.
===Basic Information===
Line 64 ⟶ 77:
So the syntax is: external links are between a single set of brackets ([ ]), with the full link first, then a space, then the text you would like to see. External links will have an arrow symbol at the end, indicating you will leave the site by clicking it.<br>
<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.

====NOTOC====
Line 69 ⟶ 84:
====Categories====
Be sure to properly tag categorize your page
===Infobox Information===
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%">|
|
|
| created = Creation date
| creator = Creator(s)
Line 81 ⟶ 96:
| owned = Who owns the Nandroid? Example: The Delaires, John Sterling
| employed = Who does the Nandroid work for? If they don't have a personal owner, maybe they work for a company?
|
| age = Age
| sn = Serial Number, if available or required</pre></div>
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.
===
====Uploading files====
[[File:Emmyupload.png|x250px|right]]
There are two ways to upload a images. The first would be to click on the 'Upload File' link in the left 'Wiki tools' panel. You'll be taken to a new page where you can give your image a name and description. Another option is to click the 'Images and Media' button at the top of the page editor box. From there click the 'Upload' button in the bottom left of the pop-up. Be sure to give your images unique names as they could get overwritten by other uploads. Try things like 'officialemmy.png' or 'runningfranny4.png'.
====Image Snytax====
Images in the infobox are automatically scaled as close to 225x330 as possible, while retaining their aspect ratio. For best results, crop your image to that size. Once your images are uploaded you can add them to your page using the syntax <code><nowiki>[[File:Imagename.png|OPTIONS|Caption]]</nowiki></code>. Imagename.png should obviously be your images name. The following are just a few options available, always separated by a bar (|).
<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%">
[[File:Imagename.png|200px|center|I love Nandroids]]
An image scaled to 200 pixels and center aligned with a caption reading 'I love Nandroids'
[[File:Imagename.png|frame|right|Editing is tough]]
An image with no scaling, in a frame, right aligned with a caption reading 'Editing is tough'
[[File:Imagename.png|thumb|smol]]
An image with no scaling, no alignment, just thumbnail of the image, with a caption reading 'smol'
</pre></div>

===Page Text===
Now the real fun beings! Start filling out your Nandroids information! Writing a word in between a set of two equal signs (==WORD==) will make a new section, like 'Page Creation' and 'Base Style Sheet' above. Writing a word in between a set of three equal signs (===WORD===) will make a new subsection, like 'Adding Pictures' and 'Page Text' above. Adding more equal signs will create deeper subsections, as many as you need.
For more information, you can check out this [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Quick Formatting Help] page or this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext Advanced Formatting Help] page.
====Tabber====
You can also use the <nowiki><tabber></nowiki> tag to create additional text boxes in the same sections, for spoilers or additional text.
===Sources===
Line 99 ⟶ 135:
==Tips==
===Link
LINK LINK LINK!! The best part of a wiki is it's interconnectivity
===Cite Sources
The strength of Wikipedia comes from it's ability to be fact checked and corrected

Creating a page can be overwhelming. Trust me, I know. You don't have to do everything at once.
