Conventions

These are some of the conventions that the wiki elder tries to follow when adding content. They have only ever edited in source view, using wikitext, but it might be possible to use the visual editor and achieve the same effect.

You can deviate from these conventions, but the wiki elder or someone else might change formatting later to have consistent presentation. It's suggested that you compare content that you might add with existing content, to match conventions.

## Page structure

The overall structure of the wiki is:

**Main\_page**

**Welcome**
**Conventions**
**Characters**
**Character page**
**Flora**
**Timelines**
 **Timeline page**
**Update history**
There are a few different page layouts used for different types of pages. Characters and Timelines consist of tiles that the reader can follow, to reach another page.

All pages start with a header image and end with a Page index, followed by a Category specification.

### Main page

After the header image, images link to another page, have alt text, and have hover text.

Sections start with an image that links to another page, followed by text with a link to follow to that page.

```
{{Clr}}
Follow to [[Characters]]
```

### Characters and Timelines parent pages

A header image is followed by a Page index. At the end of the page is a link to return to the main page.

### Individual character and timeline pages

A header image is followed by text describing the subject of the page, which is followed by a **Page index**.

### Header images

The image that appears at the start of each page is 1024px wide, except for the **Characters** and **Timelines** pages which have 500px wide header images.

### Page index

A page index is a Description list, which contains page tables.

Page tables have 4 columns. If there are fewer than 4 columns in a row, extra cells are appended.

For example:

```
; Chapter 1
: {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; width: 100%"
; Chapter 20
: {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; width: 100%"

```

Produces:

Chapter 1

Pages

Chapter 20

Pages

Some page citations end with a Footnote

### Update history

After contributing a significant amount of content, or making a significant change, the change should be noted in Update history.

### Footnotes

If a page contains footnote references, there should be a references section at the bottom of the page. The section name doesn't need to be "References".

A sequence of footnote references are separated by superscripted commas.

For example:

```
...

...

== References ===
<references/>

```

A footnote can be added without a name. If the same footnote will be referenced more than once (typical in a page index), the footnote can be given a name, in which case all but the first should have the same content, or be empty, e.g.:

* Footnote reference that can only occur once:
```
<ref>Interesting factoid</ref>
```
* First reference to the `fact1` footnote:
```
<ref name="fact1">Interesting factoid</ref>
```
* Following reference to the `fact1` footnote:
```
<ref name="fact1"/>
```
* Following reference to the `fact1` footnote:
```
<ref name="fact1">Interesting factoid</ref>
```
* Error:
```
<ref name="fact1">Different text</ref>
```
