Revision as of 01:56, 3 May 2007

Here are some Helpful Links and quick charts to assist you in designing your own Wiki Pages. Of course, you can View any member's User Page source code and duplicate it.
Just be careful not to accidently tamper with any other Member's Personal Pages.


If you come up with some neat page design you wish to share, let us know by either emailing us with the source code, or Post the Code in this page's "Discussion" area (See the Discussion Tab up on top?).


Hope these help,
Rob Johnson, FADM, IC (Ret)


MFI Wiki Guidelines

Contents

User Pages

Although each Member is only allowed One User Page, you MAY have Sub-Pages attached to your User Page. Any and All User Sub-Pages should be labeled as such (ie: [[User:Jsmith/Sandbox]], [[User:Bsmith/Directory]], Just as your "Discussion" page is a Sub-Page of your User Page.

Chapter Pages

As with User Pages, Each Chapter is allowed only One Main Chapter page, named in accordance to our Database's naming system (ie: [[Cell:MFS Nebula]], [[Cell:MFS Parallax]] , etc). Any and all Chapter Sub-Pages should be linked to the Main Chapter page using the "Cell:..." naming criteria (ie: [[Cell:MFS Sutherland/Runabout Colorado]]) and the Sub page should not simply be a slight variation of the Main Page.

Specialty Pages

As with the User and Chapter Pages, All Branch, Department, Division, or Specialty related Sub-Pages should be linked to the Main/Parent page using the same criteria (ie: [[Maquis Sim Project]], [[Maquis Sim Project/Runabout Fleet]] , etc).

If you deviate from the norm, we will attempt to contact you, asking you to modify your pages. If you fail to reply, or to comply, someone from MFI's Wiki Mainenance Team (aka: SysOps) may take it upon themselves to make the alterations for you.

Constant deviations from the guidelines may result in placing a "Block" on your user account, where you will not be able to author any new pages for a specified period of time.


Some Helpful Links

Please Remember...
When using a "Blank", or "Place-Holder" graphic (like "lcars_blank.jpg", or "Yourpicture.jpg"), you MUST rename the picture reflecting YOUR name prior to uploading it to the server.

How To Make Tables In Wiki

Thanks to Howad Knapp for capturing this "Tables Tutorial" for us.

the table tag in <> is replaced with {| in wiki
the tr tag in <> is replaced with |- in wiki
the /tr tag in <> is not needed in wiki
the td tag in <> is replaced with | in wiki
the /td tag in <> is not needed in wiki
the /table tag in <> is replaced with |} in wiki

Example

{| border=1
|- 
| test page
|-
| place image here
|}

shows up as

test page
place image here

or side by side

{| border=1
|- 
| test page
| place image here
|}

shows up as

test page place image here
