Add Character
From Ahspedia
Here's a simple tutorial on how to add a character to this wiki site.
Contents |
Step 1
Copy the template below. The first two lines (Char creator and page creator) are optional.
''Character created by: CREATORNAME - CREATIONDATE'' Page created by: ~~~~ '''Age: '''TEXT '''Birthday: '''TEXT '''Race: ''' DON'T INCLUDE A DESCRIPTION OF THE RACE HERE. Instead, add your race to the Original Races '''School: '''TEXT '''Grade: '''TEXT ==Appearance/Clothing== TEXT ==Personality== TEXT ==Special Powers/Weapons== ===POWER/WEAPON=== TEXT ===POWER/WEAPON=== TEXT ==Relationships== ===NAME=== TEXT ===NAME=== TEXT ===NAME=== TEXT ==History Before AHS/ASA== TEXT ==History After Arriving At AHS/ASA== TEXT
Step 2
Now go to Characters, Age, Grade, and School and add in the name (first and last) of your character in brackets, preceded by a semi colon. This will create a list instead of putting all the character names in one line.

Be sure to do to add them (unless they're NPC's) to all four of those sections, and to others if they fit the category.
Step 3
After you add your character to each one, click your character's name and you'll be able to edit the contents for your character's page. Paste what you copied in Step 2 here.
Step 4
Fill out the template, by replacing the all caps words with the respective information. Most or everything you'll be copying directly from your already made profile at AHS. Keep the look and the feel of the page the same as other people's, but you can remove parts you want (such as Relationships) and/or add parts. Don't be afraid to modify. Press Save page when you're done--that's all there is to it!

Headings
You can add sections if you like and use more or less = signs, the more the smaller the text within the signs. If you use = or == then you get a 'free' horizontal line under the text, if you want a horizontal line somewhere four minuses or <hr /> will do. Four minuses is Wiki format, which is easier to learn/edit/work with. Wikipedia itself advises not to use this to much, since you'll get a horizontal line whenever you make a heading with 1 or 2 equal signs.

Text styling
As you might have noticed, there are a lot of apostrophes in the template, these make the text in between either bold or italic, or of course both!
Three apostrophes results in bold text and two will result in italic text, five will be read as three, then two, resulting in bold and italic text.

Wiki links
If you want to create a link to a page on this Wiki you can do so by placing the title between double square brackets.
[[Like This]] Like This
If you want to add text to that link (for example the text: "This links to Like This") you can do so by placing a | after the link, then the text you want.
[[Like This|This links to Like This]] This links to Like This
External links
To make a link to some page (for example google.com) that's not on this Wiki, an external link, you only need to use one square bracket on each side.
[http://www.google.com] [1]
No brackets also work in this case, but that will add the link itself as text.
http://www.google.com http://www.google.com
Whichever you prefer using. Adding brackets however will add some possibilities.
To add text to such a link, you can do so by adding a space after the link and then the text you want
[http://www.google.com Like This] Like This
Same can be done with picture links, just replace the link text with a image link
[http://www.google.com http://www.google.com/intl/en_en/images/logo.gif]
This concludes a 'small' tutorial into Wiki editing and creating. Have fun.
