This page is a tutorial page on how to add an infobox into your page you just created. We will go step by step. so make sure you understand it. If its still unclear...please notify the founder and the founder will help you. we will be going through 5 Steps.
Finding The Infobox
Finding and infobox is easy. Well for the most part. To get started. You must create a New Page. the first step you do, is to go to your user page or the home page.
when you are on home page, you'll see a white box and a button that says Create a Page!
create a page button on homepage
- before you create a page, you have to place in your character's name.
contribute on main user page
on your user page you should see a special button called Contribute.
click it and scroll down to Add a Page
add a page
once you named the page and hit create a page or click add a page:
this will pop up asking you two choices on how you want your page to be.
Which are: Standard Page and Blank Page.
standard page and blank page
'''''Standard Page:
has your normal page set up with a video heading, picture heading, and two headlines that you fill in.
Blank Page:
Has nothing, and its completely blank with no default settings and you put in the headlines yourself.
(For this example i'm using the standard layout page)
now that you named your page (i'll use gunma for example)
page setup
you can start by adding things you want to your character's page. you can take off the two headings that are the picture and the video if you want too.
- now that's out of the way, you can start adding your infobox to make your character's page more cleaner!
Finding your Character's special Infobox
now that you got your page sections filled you can find the infobox you
template set up direction
need.
Keep in mind. this is a Special infobox that you must find.
now that you scroll down you see a bolded word that says Templates.
you see your standard "puzzle pieces" there. however.. don't click any
search for a template (template editor)
of them!
once you click Add Other Templates this will pop up!
since were using gunma.
you click the Gunma Infobox
also add with it: Work in progress
(Tip! place the puzzle picees above the page, it will make things alot more easier to edit and fix.)
Once you click the two infobxes you want this will appear on your page:
infoboxes for gunma
(Tip! To make things eaiser to have different colors to make it less confusing. i highlighted the two.
Light blue is for the work in progress infobox and the one below it:
hot pink is your character's infobox
- important! it helps to have the work in progress infobox ontop and the character infobox below it. ( hit enter twice for character box)
- With ophidia its the same step.. but you have to type in Ophidia infobox. click it and hit preview and the box should be red.
Filling out your character's Infobox
now that you got your two little "puzzle pieces"
character infobox preview
you have to click your character's box. to appears like this when you
place your mouse on it, as shown here:
'when that preview appears', click edit.
once you enter it, this window will pop up.
infobox set up
'''''now that is in you can fill out anyway you like. however these infoboxes have rules to place in each box. The image can be used if you have a picture to your character to make it smaller and fit within the box, go to your picture and look for the smallest size, click the size number and place it in image size and then erase everything, only the name the file stays.
- Your infobox must list these following sections into the title boxes:
- Homeworld, 'Speices, 'Age, 'Height, Weight, 'Occupation, Family Affiliation, Main Weapon, Current Residence, Armor, Team Members, Allies, Enemies
- note! some characters may be different, take a look at each character to see the difference.
