Help:Editing

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.

Also, if you think something's too short but you might want to see it expanded, add {{stub}} anywhere in the article.

How to add a headliner

Format: ==*insert text here*==

Effect:

*insert text here*

And type this ===*insert text here*=== for a subsection.

Effect:

=*insert text here*

(Alternaively, adding more = on both sides will make the font smaller. When 4 or more titles are created, a index will automatically be created.)

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

(You can also use numberical lists. Replace * with # for a numberical list.)

How to embed a youtube video

{{#ev:youtube|yyeQN-kjw1I|320}}

Format: {{vid|insert url here}}

You have to only add the part of the URL after www.youtube.com/watch?v=

Example:

• {{vid|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyeQN-kjw1I}} incorrect
• {{vid|yyeQN-kjw1I}} correct

If done correctly, the result should be this:

How to embed a image

If you want a image with a thumbnail, try this: [[Image: imagename.filename|thumb| *insert description here*]]

*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: [[Volvic_revive.png|thumb|*insert description here*]]

If you don't want a thumbnail image, just type [[Image: imagename.filename]]

How to add a template/group

Add {{name}} anywhere on the page. The group then will appear on the bottom of the article it's currently in, and it'll add a template (if there's one avaible) On the upper-right corner of the article.

How to add links

If you want to add a link to another page, type [[You]](You). Alernatively, type [[Yoghurt|Robotnik]](Robotnik) to make the text show up as Robotnik, but link to Yoghurt instead. It's reccomended 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: [www.youchewpoop.com] (It only requires 2 brackets then 4.)
