**This page features several templates, as well as tutorials on how to edit them into your own pages!**

## Page Contents Table

On the top left of the page there is a Table of Contents. These automatically make lists of the sections on your page that are titled by any heading/sub-heading text. To add this to your page:

* Make sure you are using the **Visual Editor.**
* Select the **Page options** (cog icon) at the top of the menu editor.
* From the drop down list, click on **Page settings.**
* Under Show Table of Contents, click **Always** and then **Apply.**

You can find more information on editing the Table of Contents [here].

## Character Infobox

On the far right of the page there is an Infobox Template titled "Template Example". This table features several fields summarizing essential information about your character. To add this to your page:

* Make sure you are using the **Visual Editor.**
* Select **Insert** at the top menu of the editor.
* From the drop down list, click on **Infobox.**
* From the list, click on **Character/sandbox.**
* Fill out the form with your information and press **Insert** when complete.

Any information boxes left blank will not appear in the Infobox. In **title1**, put your character name. In **image1**, put the filename of an image of them (add images here). In **caption1**, add a description to go below the **image1**.

## Page Info Formatting

There is no current required format for pages that you can create, partly because we don't want to restrict people's creativity, and partly because Cesca doesn't know how to make proper templates. However, we recommend dividing the page into sections (by using **Headings**) to categorize the information presented and make the pages easier to read. For example:

### Characters:

* **General Description** (1-2 paragraph summary of what or who the page is about)
* **Biography** (these could be broken up into further categories, such as: "*Early Life"* to explain their origins, "Education" if necessary for them, "*In Deadwood Valley"* for their events while on the server, and any notable events in your character's history)
* **Physical Description** (for further details on your character's appearance or clothing)
* **Personality and Traits** (to further describe your character's personality, abilities, and motivations)
* **Relationships** (for further describe your character's romantic, familial, or friendly relationships)
* **Possessions** (to note any special items, weapons or pets that have significance to them or their story)
* **Quotes** (for catchphrases or recording any noteworthy remarks)
* **Gallery** (we recommend placing these at the bottom of the page)

Gangs:

* **General Description** (1-2 paragraph summary of what or who the page is about)
* **History** (the history of the gang, how it came to be, and how they came to Deadwood Valley)
* **Objective** (to explain what the goals the gang has and what sort of RP they aim to provide)
* **Members** (a breakdown of the members of the gang and their roles within it)
* **Relationships** (to list the characters, gangs or businesses that the gang is affiliated with, or enemies of)
* **Gallery** (we recommend placing these at the bottom of the page)

### Businesses:

* **General Description** (1-2 paragraph summary of what or who the page is about, including where the business is located)
* **History** (the history of the business, how it came to be, and how the employees came to work there)
* **Services/Products** (to list the services provided or items that the business sells)
* **Events** (for any events that are hosted by the business)
* **Gallery** (we recommend placing these at the bottom of the page)

## Galleries

To add a gallery to a page:

* Make sure you are using the **Visual Editor.**
* Select **Insert** at the top menu of the editor.
* From the drop down list, click on **Gallery.**
* Search for the filename of the image you want to add that should be already uploaded to this Wiki's gallery (add images here).
* Click on the image you'd like to add, and optionally give it a **caption.**
* Add or edit as many images as you like, and press **Insert** when complete.

## Categories

At the very bottom of a page is the Categories section. Click the drop-down **v** icon on the right and type any of the following categories relevant to the page to have it be displayed within that category, and added to the **Wiki Content** navigation menu at the top of the site:

Characters - Gangs - Businesses - Departments - Events
