Below are some tips for creating and editing pages. For a detailed list of markup and formatting tags, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Quick_guide
Contents |
Create a new page
Go to the Character template, click the "edit" tab, and copy the template code.
Then navigate to the page you want to create, i.e. to create a page for Samaritan, enter http://www.herocopia.com/index.php/Samaritan in your browser.
Click the "edit" tab, paste the template code, and start creating!
When doing a team, go to Team template and do the same.
Link to a page
Surround the word in double brackets (i.e. "[[Samaritan]]") and it will link to that page, whether it exists yet or not.
Creating Categories
At the bottom of a page, enter "[[Category: (category name)]]" and it will link to that category, as well as include the page in that category (whether the category exists yet or not).
To create a link to a category *without* including the page in that category, add a colon in front, i.e. "[[:Category: (category name)]]".

Image uploading
Check Special:Imagelist to see if the image you need already exists.
If not, upload a new image here (300 pixels across is standard): http://www.herocopia.com/index.php/Special:Upload
Then place this tag into the page: "[[Image:filename.jpg]]".
To align the image to the right, use this tag: "[[Image:filename.jpg|right]]".
To place a thumbnail of a larger image, use: "[[Image:filename.jpg|right|thumb|250px]]".
Any text entered in the tag that isn't recognized will appear as a caption in the thumbnail image, i.e. "[[Image:filename.jpg|right|thumb|250px|This is a picture of Samaritan]]".
