Guide: Editing the Wiki

This page mostly tells you how to edit the wiki

Don't make unnecessary pages
It's always nice to make new pages, but don't make one unless it absolutely can't fit into an existing page of similar topic. (e.g. The AutCo horse "Juan" had his own wiki page. The page was very small, so it was moved to Kamilstic's page, as a pet)

Capitalise correctly
Just use correct capitalisation, it's not hard. Having random capital letters in the middle of words, such as AutCo and PogChampion, are fine. Just keep it neat and consistant.

Player Infobox
The current infobox in use is "User Info v1". It displays Various info about a player, as well as their skin. The example infobox includes what all the information means. The image used is just an example.

Getting the image of a skin
To find the style of picture used in user infoboxes, search up a username on "namemc.com". On the player page, click the number in the brackets next to the word "skins". Then pick the skin the player currently uses, right-click it and download the image.

When uploading the image to the wiki, make sure it uses the player's name in the image name. To insert the image, put the image name inside the image bar in the infobox, with ".png" on the end (.png is the prefferred format). For example, the skin in the example box is called "Slavstic casual wear". In the image bar, you would write Slavstic casual wear.png.

Country infobox
All countries have their own type of infobox, but all follow the same format. The format goes:


 * Nation Flag
 * Date founded
 * Capital
 * Leader
 * Members
 * Governing Class
 * Ideology

Use the Stictopia page as an example.

Adding mini user icons to the member list
To get the user icon, return to namemc.com, and right-click the face icons in the "Skins" tab. Download them and use them on each individual player.

The text highlighted in red adds the image into the infobox. Red and blue are divided by a "|" symbol. This is important. The highlighted blue text sets the image size to 20 pixels. When using mini icons, always use 20px. Make sure the red and blue are closed together in " " brackets. The green highlighted text is the player name. Use the same brackets to link the player's profile.

Adding mini icons to a table
Images can only be added using the source editor. It is recommended you fill out the table information first and add icons at the end. Using the relationship options table as an example, you would look for the "5" in the source editor.

This would be what you would find, or something of the sort. Now, for 5, the relationship is positive, so before the 5, you would write " ". In relationships, 5 is the best and 1 is the worst. A negative relationship would use "". You switch the number in bold to change the relationship image. This on the right is the table with the icon source code added. The 20px rule still applies, as it is a mini icon.

Adding notices
You will want to insert a template on an empty line. When on one, you simply hit "insert" on the toolbar menu, and then "templates". From here, you will need to type in a template code. The next section will show all available templates. After typing in the code, you can click "add", and then "insert".

Notice codes
PS1 - Place this at the top of the page, it means the whole page is about the first Java SMP.

SS1 - Place this at the top of a section. It means a section is about the first Java SMP. This is useful for pages like player pages, where history can span up to 3 servers.

PT - Pelzig Takeover RP page
