Adding Character Pages

## Introduction

This guide will help you add a new Character to the Whumpapedia Wiki and maintain a uniform look for the Wiki.

## TV Shows & International TV Shows

Create your page

Add the following code to Source Editor:

```
{{Whumpapedia_Character_Infobox}}
{{Adding Characters}}
==Whump==
=== Season # ===
{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; text-align: center"
! width="8%" | EP#
! width="20%" | Title
! width="52%" | Whump Description
! width="20%" | Contributor

```

If you need to add more seasons, copy & past this code as many times as you need after the |} of the season:

```
=== Season # ===
{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%; text-align: center"
! width="8%" | EP#
! width="20%" | Title
! width="52%" | Whump Description
! width="20%" | Contributor

```

Hit Apply Changes

Modify the rows by clicking on the row and adding/deleting as necessary

* **Tip:** See this Tables tutorial for a general overview of the basic elements of tables

Fill in your info for the templates.

* Only the the Appears In and Portrayed By sections of this template are linked. You will need to use the Also Appearing In space to add any additional shows and then add double brackets around the show to make it a link
* If multiple shows are needed, you'll want to add the following code, or something similar, into the related titles field:

```
[[Sample Show]], [[Sample Show 2]], and [[Sample Show]] etc.

```

* **Tip:** If your page is titled something like Frenchie (The Boys) use the Character Name section of the template to display a different name.

If you borrowed from a source for your character bio, you need to cite your references next:

Add the following code at the end of whatever you referenced:

```
<ref>https://www.exampleURL.com/</ref>
```
 For example:

```
```

Add a reference list to your page by either using the Insert menu of the edit box when you're out of Source Editor, or pasting the following code in the Source Editor.

```
==References==
<references />
```

* **Tip:** Where ever you place the code is where your reference list will show up so make sure its at the bottom of your page.

* Check out this Citing Tutorial for more help/info

Using the menu to the left of Cancel, click on Categories and follow these steps:

1. Add "Characters"
2. Add "TV Show Characters" or "International TV Characters" depending on your type of show
3. Add any universe the character belongs to **and** any universe the character belongs to + Characters"
	* For Example, Barry Allen will get the following categories: "Characters" "TV Show Characters" "DCU" and "DCU Characters"

* **TIP:** You can find a list of all the current categories we have going for the Whumpapedia on the The Whumpapedia Categories page.
* You can also add the categories AFTER your finished and have saved the page if that's easier for you

Use the "Sort" field below Categories to list the character's name like this "Lastname, Firstname" **\*\*THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT\*\***

This sorts the characters by last name on the Characters category page and keeps everything alphabetical by character last name, rather than first name.

Input the whump information per the Whumpapedia into your tables

If there is more than one show the character appears on, use headers like this: Tom Keen

Example code:

```
==Whump - Show A==
===Season #===
==Whump - Show B==
===Season #===

```

Save your work and then you're done!

Here's a Sample Character page for reference. All the code we used can be copied and pated from the Source Editor for easy use on other pages.

## Movies

Movies do not have character pages. All the whump is listed on the movie's page.
