Help:Editing

Learning to edit Wiki markup can be a daunting task, especially since Wiki markup differs significantly from BBCode or HTML. However, practicing is the best way to learn, and you can immediately try using Wiki markup by editing any of the articles on this Wiki.

Basic Editing

The following links provide good basic guides to the various things you'll want to be able to do with the wiki markup.

Images

File type

It is worth noting that the preferred file type on this wiki is .png, which should be used whenever possible.

Item images

This provides a quick guide to the process of modeling and uploading item images.

1. Equip the item by itself (no other items, wallpapers, or foregrounds equipped) to a pure FFFFFF white, markingless and mutationless waja. It is also highly preferred that the waja have pure white eyes, especially with Fires as their eye color becomes very obtrusive because of their flames. For items that are difficult to see on a white waja and would be more visible on a dark waja, a pure 000000 black waja (with matching eyes) with no markings or mutations may be used instead. For items that are difficult to see on a white background, a Black Wallpaper should be added.
2. Refresh the image so that the waja is displayed wearing the item.
3. Save the image to your computer (it should default as a png file). You can usually do this by right clicking the image and choosing "save image as". The naming scheme of item image files is like this: ItemBreed, no spaces, with spelling and capitalization that matches how it appears on wajas. So for example, if I were uploading an image of a Bane wearing the Gold Dust Foreground item, I would name the file GoldDustForegroundBane.png
4. Go to the wiki and look at the toolbox on the left side of the screen. One of the links will say "Upload file". Use this page to select the image to upload and upload it (you'll need an account in order to upload files). NOTE: There is no need to add a summary or Licensing, so please leave those blank unless there's something that needs noting about the image (such as it being glitched).
5. Once you click "Upload File", you should be taken to a page with the image on it. At the bottom of the image's page, there should be a section that says "File Links". The page for the item should be listed there if everything worked correctly. If it isn't, that means that either the file was named incorrectly when uploading, that the item's page didn't correctly name the link to the image, or that the item's page does not exist.
