| I stole your layout, I hope you don't mind. If you think it looks too similar, you should give me some hints on how to customize it. -[[User:James Sparrow|James Sparrow]]
| |
| | |
| : Well, thanks, that's very flattering! I'm perfectly fine with you stealing my layout - it has a long history of being stolen and reworked (I wonder what Blankfaze thinks of it all ^_^). I don't know too much about wikicode, but one thing you can do is change the color of the boxes. Whenever you see something like <nowiki>#c080ff</nowiki>, that's the code for color. "c0" stands for the amount of red, "80" the amount of green, and "ff" the amount of blue, and each of these numbers is in hexadecimal (base sixteen) so there are digits 0 through 9, and then a through f (after "f" comes "10"). You may know all that already, but if you want to give your page your own personal coloration, that's how! {{User:MaskedMarth/sig}} 14:31, April 23, 2007 (GMT)

| == Need a little bit of help.. ==
| |
| | |
| Hey MaskedMarth, Blackadder here.
| |
| I'm new to this Wiki (Though a long time member of another Wiki, so I know the general rules)
| |
| and I was wondering, (and this is somthing that always plauges me on Wikis) how do I make the
| |
| page I made on the crew I'm in have "other ways of access" to it?
| |
| Currently, you have to type in "Dawn Patrol" if you wan't to view the page, and I would like to know,
| |
| how can I make it so you need only to type in "DP" and it'll come up with the page?
| |
| Thanks for listening,
| |
| | |
| - [[User:Blackadder|Blackadder]]
| |
| | |
| :Those are redirect pages and to do so, you would create an article under "DP" and have its content include only the following:
| |
| | |
| :<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Dawn Patrol]]</nowiki> | |
| | |
| :However, it should be noted that you should only create appropriate redirects. If the crew is actually known as both '''Dawn Patrol''' and '''DP''' in smash circles, then I could see it. But if you're creating a redirect just because yer too lazy to type out the words for your own editing purposes, the redirect would be promptly deleted.
| |
| | |
| :If I were a sysop. :^) -- <font color="000023">'''[[User:Randall00|Randall00]]'''</font> <sup>''[[User talk:Randall00|Talk]]''</sup> 14:51, July 14, 2007 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| Hmmmm...well, we do often get just called "DP".
| |
| I'll give it a whirl, and hope that for the best that no one deletes it.
| |
| If they do, not big loss. Thanks for your help Randall!
| |
| | |
| - [[User:Blackadder|Blackadder]]
| |
| | |
| :: Sorry for not replying for a while - I was away at camp. At worst we would have to create a disambig page for DP if anything else turns up with that abbreviation. So, go ahead. {{User:MaskedMarth/sig}} 13:42, August 29, 2007 (EDT) | |
| | |
| == Thank god. ==
| |
| | |
| I finally found a sysop. I'm new to wiki editing entirely, and I don't even know how to add new subjects to pages besides talk pages. I've been trying to nicely edit my page to look good, but to no avail. I'm a very very quick learner when it comes to video games and the computer, and some consider me the best in my school. Considering there's only about 10 other people who play as much as me, that's not the best title to acheive. But I just can't figure out how to have bullets and separate sections and all that. If you could help me a little, that'd be great. Also, I told FyreN'water, but I have an unmarked picture of Meta Knight from the original Dojo site, as well as a copy of the theme song, but I don't know how to post them. I'd be glad to send you any needed pictures of smash If you could tell me your email. I suck at wiki editing. I am very creative too, and I like to make up my own Smash brothers story, using multiple controlers or some friends or cousins, the stages, and the characters (items off) and intertwine them into my own story. That's why I want to separate my page, so I can have and "about me" section and more, including a "My Smash Story" section. Can you help?
| |
| | |
| --[[User:ShadowZeroKaras|ShadowZeroKaras]] 04:17, August 30, 2007 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| : Yep, I'd be happy to help! You're lucky to have caught me, I just spent eight weeks at camp ;). This wiki should really have a guide to this stuff - I'll try to remind myself to write it. In any case, I'll show you the basics, that you asked about.
| |
| | |
| * How to make a new section:
| |
| | |
| :To make a section header, all you do is add two equals signs around what you want to have as your section. Thus, the section of this discussion on my talk page is written like this: <nowiki>== Thank god. ==</nowiki>. Very useful to know. You can also make subsections by using three equals signs: <nowiki>=== Subsection ===</nowiki>, or a subsubsection by using four equals signs, etc.
| |
| | |
| * How to use bullets
| |
| | |
| : Before each phrase you want bulleted, add an asterisk (*) at the beginning of the line. Thus:
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>* Bullet point 1</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| turns into
| |
| | |
| * Bullet point 2
| |
| | |
| Pretty neat, eh?
| |
| | |
| * How to indent.
| |
| | |
| : Simply put a color at the beginning of the line.
| |
| | |
| * How to add a picture
| |
| | |
| : On the left-hand navigation, you can see near the bottom (below the search box) a link that says "upload file." This is the place to upload pictures (though make sure that you stay in accordance to [[SmashWiki:Images|image policy]]). Basically, you upload your picture, suppose it's called "Brinstardepths.jpg." You go to the page you want to put the image on, and you type <nowiki>[[Image:Brinstardepths.jpg]]</nowiki>.
| |
| | |
| : I think you can upload a music file too, but I've never tried it before.
| |
| | |
| : Incidentally, if you're ever curious about something you can press "edit" and look at the code. That's how I learned wikicode, basically. For instance, how does one do this:
| |
| | |
| <code>A message in a box</code>
| |
| | |
| : Well, you could press edit on this section, and look at the wikicode I used to cause the box and typeface. Pretty nifty. I'm always here if you have any questions! {{User:MaskedMarth/sig}} 20:50, August 30, 2007 (EDT)

| Thanks! --[[User:ShadowZeroKaras|ShadowZeroKaras]] 01:35, September 2, 2007 (EDT)

| I concur. Aside from vandalizing, the info that has been used in the vandalization was obviously used with the intent of insulting the competitive Smash community, which is an example of casual elitism.

| : Well, I cannot give administrative powers - although the Wiki software calls me an "administrator," I'm more similar to a moderator on Smashboards - I have some powers, but I can't give other people powers.

| Hey you know after you banned Zinnamon he is trying to follow the rules like he never did before, but he found a rule about deleting smashers articles that haven't participated in a tournament.. its is in the rules, but that would be deleting almost half of the pages and no one really make such a big deal for that what do you think we should do? --[[User:Fandangox|Fandangox]] 21:54, November 14, 2007 (EST)

| : Hmm. I understand where you're coming from, but people's "vanity pages" really add nothing to this project, so it could only help to delete the clutter. I've considered putting parameters like this on Smasher pages before. So I say, his delete tags are fine, and I'll accept them. However, to prevent smashers from putting up pages for themselves, and then getting pissed when they get deleted, I'm going to make the policies about smasher pages more clear. {{User:MaskedMarth/sig}} 22:03, November 14, 2007 (EST)

| ::: good point. If a person's a major part of a reasonably-sized crew (at least 4 players that shows signs of playing / having played smash on a consistent basis), that means they're involved enough in their community, probably equivalent to having participated in tournaments.
