So everyone should know that we've been working on building the new, super awesome, Alohomora Wiki! This wiki will basically include all the information you could ever want about the site, our history, etc! Now, many of the articles are very much WIP still! That's okay! WE will get them all done. But we wanted to let everyone start working on their character profiles! SO here is how characters will go. Those working on the Wiki have a made a few already that are referred to in articles we've written. These were also done to test how the template/etc for character profiles. But, going forward each member is responsible for making their own character profile if they want one.
Below is the guide to making these! Please also note, that once you are done/satisfied it's done, we will protect the page so that others can't go in and change your information. This wiki team will also help you if you are struggling to make it yourself. To make it extra easy, the guide is screenshots
Please Do NOT try to upload your pictures to the wiki! Let Sora or one of the other wiki people do this! We've had a few bugs with this, and want to make sure that they get uploaded correctly! So just message us the image you'd like to use in the Wiki chat and we will crop it for you to the right size and get it added to your profile!
STEP 1 - MAKE THE PAGE
STEP 2 - Title the page. PLEASE make it the character's full name! (so yes, if you have a middle name, you have to put the middle name)
Step 3 - Put in the code and save (Code is below the screenshot!)
{{AloCharacterInfoBox|born=na|blood_status=na|marital_status=na|sexuality=na|nationality=na|nicknames/aliases=na|species=na|gender=na|hair_color=na|eye_color=na|wand=na|patronus=na|animagus=na|family_members=na|job=na|faction=na|school=na|house=na|graduation_year=na|application=[applink Link]}}
{{Quote|quote here|person to someone|}}
(quick summary about the character)
== Personality ==
to come
== Relationships ==
to come
== History ==
to come
*Put in the code immediately. You can fill it out in this preview if you'd like OR you can put the code in and save immediately.
Step 4 - Start filling it out, and waht it looks like
If you need to make edits, or wanted to fill it out in the preview instead of the code, just follow the edit arrow.
Here are additional screenshots of how to fill it out in the preview.
To edit the quote and side bar double click on it!
Here is what the side bar looks like in preview. If you don't need something (like animagus) just leave it blank! DOn't put anything there, the box will disappear if you leave it blank!
Step 5 - Personalization?!
If you would like to add addition quotes, or remove the "relationship" section, you can! for getting rid of the relationships, just delete the line. If you want to add additional quotes, use this!{{Quote|put quote here|person to someone|}}You can get fancy with these, just don't break it hahah.
Step 6 - Protection!
When you're done, PLEASE notify the wiki team! So we can protect the page from unwanted edits. We don't want anyone to accidentally, or maliciously, make edits to your profiles. So, please tell us when you're done.
Extra notes:
*DO NOT GIVE CATEGORIES! We will be using these, yes! But let us add them! These can be a pain to remove later, so we don't want any typoed categories running around.
*We will help you if you need it!
*DO NOT UPLOAD PICTURES. Yes, we are doing them, but let the wiki team do the pictures so that they get uploaded and connected right.
