| − | {{Majorcleanup|date=April 2010}}Welcome to the help page. This page will explain some basics you'll need to know about editing pages on Chewiki. You can also use the icons above the textbox to use different tools.
| + | #REDIRECT [[Help:Contents]] |
| − | | |

| − | When 4 or more titles are created, the Table of Contents will automatically be created. Adding <nowiki>__TOC__ or __FORCETOC__ will place the toc on wherever spot you add it, even if there are less than 4 titles. Adding __NOTOC__</nowiki> will keep the Table of Contents from appearing.
| |
| − | ==Lists==
| |
| − | To make a list, set a * before each sentence. Make sure you'll make a new line for each listed sentence.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The effect will be this:
| |
| − | *Waluigi
| |
| − | *Scratch
| |
| − | **Grounder
| |
| − | *Hulk Hogan
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you want to go wikiHow style, you can also use numberical lists, by using #'s; leading to this:
| |
| − | #Waluigi
| |
| − | #Scratch
| |
| − | ##Grounder
| |
| − | #Hulk Hogan

| − | ==How to embed a [[YouTube]] video==
| |
| − | {{vid|_JaW_f45xnY}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Format: <code><nowiki>{</nowiki>{vid|insert "code" part of the url here}}</code>
| |
| − | Example:
| |
| − | *<code><nowiki>{</nowiki>{vid|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JaW_f45xnY}}</code> - '''''incorrect'''''
| |
| − | *<code><nowiki>{</nowiki>{vid|_JaW_f45xnY}}</code> '''correct'''

| − | ==How to embed an image==
| |
| − | If you want a image with a thumbnail, try this:
| |
| − | <nowiki>[</nowiki><code>[Image: imagename.filename|thumb| *insert description here*]]</code>
| |
| − | [[Image: Volvic_revive.png|thumb| *insert description here*]]
| |
| − | '''The name of the part afterwards the Image: part, should be the complete filename of the file uploaded onto Chewiki.'''
| |
| − | the image on the right can be embed onto a page by using this code, for example: <nowiki>[[Volvic_revive.png|thumb|*insert description here*]]</nowiki>
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you don't want a thumbnail image, just type <nowiki>[[Image: imagename.filename]]</nowiki>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Be warned that there seems to be a glitch with some images and thumbnails, where the thumbnails will be displayed in a slightly glitchy color palette.
| |
| − | ==How to add a template/group==
| |
| − | Add <code><nowiki>{</nowiki>{templatename}}</code> anywhere on the page. The template then will appear on the bottom of the article it's currently in, and it'll add place the template (if there's one available. Otherwise, the name of the template will appear, linked so you can click on the link to create it if neccessary).
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==How to add links==
| |
| − | If you want to add a link to another page, type <code><nowiki>[</nowiki>[You]]</code>. It should show up as [[You]]. Alernatively, type <code><nowiki>[</nowiki>[Yoghurt|Robotnik]]</code> to make [[Yoghurt|Robotnik]]. While the text shows up as Robotnik, it links to Yoghurt instead. It's recomended to keep this in mind to prevent double articles from forming.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It's also essential to ''spell the article right, or else it won't work.''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Alternatively, using an url outside of Chewiki can be done by typing it like this: <code><nowiki>[</nowiki>http://www.youchewpoop.com Youchew]</code>. It should show up as [http://www.youchewpoop.com Youchew]. Placing a link to a page with 'https' instead of 'http' at the beginning will place a picture of a lock instead of the normal link mini-icon.
