Wiki Guide

Some people find wikis to be terribly confusing to edit. It may have to do with there being more than one codebase out there. Wikia has it's own quirks, but we've tried to get around them with heavy use of instruction-laden templates on our site.

If you have any trouble with any of this, please let Tinkerbell know and she can assist.

Character Pages
When a character is approved, if they aren't a re-app, Tinkerbell will make them a character page as part of my daily routine. She will then @mail them the URL. It will have their template Preloaded which include instructions of how to fill them in. If you have questions about these, please let me know, so I can make the directions more explicit.

Character Images
The template on the character page is designed for two specifically sized images (300 pixels wide, by 450 pixels high). Larger or smaller images will throw this off. If you cannot resize images, just @mail Tinkerbell the URL where you found them, and she will resize and upload them for you. Your gallery can be any sized images (within reason please) as it will thumbnail them neatly for you. NOTE: Please do not use someone's non-comic artist artwork for your character without their OK. This mostly applies to OCs. If you find art by an artist that you love, please have them email admin@heromux.com their permission for use, and the URL of their gallery, and we will credit and link to them for the art.

Team Pages
Once you've formed a team on the game (getting a few members and +requesting for the group to be code-made), you can set up a team page on the wiki. There is code in place to do this at The Teams Page. Put in the Team Name and click. it will preload templates and instructions for you. If you feel it's over your head, just @mail Tinkerbell with what you want and I can set it up for you. Team dossier images are 75 x 75 pixels.

Logs
Add A Log is the place to make a page for a log. The title format is YYYY-MM-DD TITLE. Event logs are for events that show in +events and have someone emitting. RP logs are all other logs that are not offered up in +events. If someone did emits in your RP log, you can add (Emitter) beside their name in the Who: section. Please use the WHO section to link to player pages for the participants. You need to put their character's wiki page name in brackets like Phoenix to link it. This makes the log show up automatically on their character page. If they used another name in the log you can still show that, but link it like so: Jean Grey. Please put commas between the participants.

News Articles
If you post an IC news article on bboards 8, 9, or 10, please also post it to the In-character news section of the wiki at IC News. Put the title in the box in the format YYYY-MM-DD TITLE (PAPER NAME) so 2012-06-30 Spider-Man Sucks! (Daily Bugle). It will preload templates with instructions for you.
