Wiki:Template Design (Formerly Wikihelp)

[Eclipse]

Already looks good though!  Great quick work :)

Thanks, Ishmayl.

Of course, going beyond the quick work is proving to be the hard part...

Okay, here's where it stands now:

I think that's as far as I'm going to get without some really intense work into it, so that's my progress for the day. :) Still, I'll play around and see if I can figure more out.

Also, I'll probably be making other (smaller) templates for things such as "Under construction" and such. Expect updates either later today or sometime into next weeks, since I'm going to be AWOL come bout 10am friday. :)

This is really nifty. Where are you learning how to make these? Are they just predefined things that are automatically included in the wiki page when you add a short tag?

[Ishmayl-Retired]

no, you have to actually create them

And it's not easy - I've tried and failed a few times...

[Lmns Crn]

I mean, once you predefine them, you can call them forth at will with a short tag?

[Ishmayl-Retired]

yes

[Eclipse]

I guess I just have a nack for it then. :) I"ll keep working on some other ones, and if anyone wants a custom one for their campiagn world/worlds like I have for Oververse, I'll be happy to whip one up. :)

anybody know what the random alphabetic strings someone's been inserting at the top of wiki articles is about? it SEEMS spammish, but there's no links or keywords in the mix.

Yeah, I've been noticing it for awhile now and have been deleting them ... it's also, strangely enough, been happening about once a week, every 6 or 7 days or so...  weird.
