How to Make an Article Template

Hello and Welcome to the Cubic RP Wiki site! Here you will find many interesting reads and fun trivia facts regarding events, businesses and characters that feature in our server. All pages are updated by our players and watched by our community wiki admins, all changes are recorded and will be reversed if false information is added.

## Creating a page

Creating a page is relatively simple. All you have to do is create an account with Fandom, return to our wiki and then hover over the 3 dots in the top right. From there you will see "Add new page". Enter the name of your character and away you go.

## Usual Page Set Up

How you set your character page is up to you, but with the few pages currently set up the usual way of setting up the page is to have the infobox added and text added to the left with who the character is roleplayed by. To do this you insert the infobox first then click to the left and type.

With this you won't need a heading of your character's name as the page created will already have it.

This is then followed by General appearance, physical appearance, personality, introduction and then events, what they own and basic trivia about that character.

So an Info box is this thing on the right. Has lots of tabs that you can input information in to and there are lots of variants to them, but for a character page you will obviously need the "Character" infobox. Once you've added fill out the information you want and away you go to filling out the rest of the page.

Make sure to put the infobox **FIRST** as it will push to the right and you'll get a prompt to insert a paragraph when hovering at the side of it. This will stop it from being pushed down and keep it to the right until you reach the bottom and it will then continue underneath. Basically just makes it clean.

Well this bit is a bit more finicky, so what you want to do is hover over the 3 dots before editing the page (Simialr to creating a page) in the top right and click "Add new file" from there you upload the image of your character and make sure to copy the file name with the .png or .jpeg included. Then come on back to your page, click edit and paste it into the image tab. Save and then you should now have your photo.

This part will require you to be editing the infobox. From there you go to the label you want and input this piece of code

`<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data- expandtext="Expand" data-collapsetext="Hide"> whatever you want</div>`

Obviously change the "whatever you want" text with what you are going to be inputting.

If you want to input some text before hand do so and then add in the code above. This is create for your networth if you want to detail where your assets are. Just make sure to add the </div> otherwise it won't work right.

Another way you can make it a bit fancy to center it is to use

`&#8195`

This will add a space as using the space bar won't work. The fun of coding.

Adding a list is probably the most simple bit of the whole thing, all you need to do is just add \* with a before the text you input, this creates a bullets point.

A good place to use this is aliases, relatives, jobs etc. seen in the example.

A handy little trick you can do for relatives is to do this

`* [[Name of a character]]<br>how they are related`

Changing a font colour is easy if you know coding, but I'm about to make it 20x easier for you by giving you the code! This is really good to brighten your networth. Basically you should only use this to say either if you want to spruce up to say active, a characters dead (There is a code to post the deceased icon next to them will mention later) or highlight your networth.

`<font color="#0f0"> is for Green </font>`

`<font color="f20028"> is for Red </font>`

#### Acceptable colours

Here are some colour codes that are acceptable.

### Linking to another page

Touched upon earlier, but if you missed it you'll just need to do

`[[Page name]]`

and it'll link if there is a page already, however if there is no page then it'll be red.

Adding the deceased icon will require to add this piece of code

`{{Status|D=y}}`

For saying the player is in jail there is also an icon, this is usually reserved for those that are in for life or a really long time. Usually, because most people don't spend that long in there.

`{{Status|I=y}}`

Paste that in after the character name and you'll get an icon, or you jazz it up and put it before and after!

## How do I get a "contents" bit at the top?

Basically when you are editing a page you will have to change your text from "paragraph" to "heading". Headings are your titles and sub-headings are your, you guessed it, little titles.
