## How to code a story

{| cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2" border="1" align="center" width="100%"

OK I admit this looks confusing so I’ll explain it to make it easier. The part in red is the image to use, while the part in blue is the dialogue. To add a line you just need to copy-paste the blue part and write the dialouge.
As for the images, you need to copy the red part and paste it where the image belongs
For example the initial code would be this:

{| cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2" border="1" align="center" width="100%"

We need to add a photo for Toya’s “I feel like taking photos at the studio sometimes” line. We copy the part in red and paste it before the sentence it belongs to

Like this

====**More than one line**====
There are also cases when a character has more than one line at a time, as shown here:

 **Kokoro:** | Hello? Hurry and turn the page.

We have a special code for that too (It simply makes reading the story a bit easier and makes it look a little bit nicer!)

In case you bump into a part like this, simply put the ‘‘|rowspan="2"’’ code in front of a character’s name, and remove a name line. It will look like this:

If a character has more than two lines, simply change the "2" into any amount you need and just add more lines.

## Making a Page

This is rather easy, as you will only have to go to the character’s page, and click the tab ‘’Card Story’’ in their navigation. You’ll then just look for the card you translated and click the red name, after you do so it’ll automatically create a new page after pressing ‘’Next’’.

You’ll be thrown into an editing page. All you have to do is click on the icon next to ‘’Cancel’’ and go into Source Editor!

This is where you will add the codes, and after you’re done you click “Apply changes” and then “Save page”.
Now, what code to add in it? The code is this:

<tabber>

Chapter 1 =

Story Code

Chapter 2 = ← SRs only have 2 chapters

Story Code

Chapter 3 =

Story Code

<**/**tabber>

[[Category:Card Story]]

[[Category:Seiya Aido]] ← Here you change name based on the ichu.

Now that we know how to make the page, You can copy-paste your story where it says “Story Code”:

## Naming and uploading images

Now on to the next part, how to name images. We will be using Akio’s SR story as example. The photo name would be The smile reflected in a glass bead 1 (1)
The first 1 means that it’s the first part of the story, while the (1) means that it’s the first screen. So the second screen for the first part would be The smile reflected in a glass bead 1 (2) . While for the other parts we name it The smile reflected in a glass bead 2 (1) where the 2 means “Second part” while the one means “First screen of second part” and so on for all the images.

You don’t need to take a lot, around 4~6 images where the I-Chu is talking and not the producer. Also, when the I-Chus call the producer by name you should write Yuzuki, as in Etoile Stage she is her own character and not a self insert. Avoid screens where your name is shown but you can add screens if your name is 柚希 (The default name).

When you want to upload images, you can upload 10 images at once if you go to the Multiple Upload page!

## Other codes to remember

When translating you might need to add a note at the end, or make the text appear bigger or smaller. Here’s a list of codes you might find useful:

#### Translators Notes

<ref>Insert translating notes here</ref> -
For when you want to add a note at the end of a translation. Remember that this codes requires you to add

==Notes==

<references />

at the end of the tab for the note to appear.

#### Text Sizes

<big>text</big> or <small>text</small> - For when you want the text to appear bigger or smaller

<nowiki>text</nowiki> - For when you have a "**!**" at the beginning of a sentence, or there's sentences with many "**~**" (since the wiki reads those as codes and messes up with your translations)

#### SNS Code

Etoile Stage has started using a new mechanic which shows us characters texting each other. We’ve created a special code for this on the wiki!

}}

{{SNSLeft

}}

The templates SNSRight and SNSLeft are for when the ichus text each other

Ichu displays the name above the text

Text displays the message sent

Background changes the color of the text box, based on unit

Border changes the color of the border, based on character

Color changes the text color, and can be changed to black or white depending on which you feel is best for visibility
