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.

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.

If you don't want the link icon after the links, then put <code><nowiki><div class="plainlinks"> &nbsp;</div></nowiki></code> around it.

Caution: Editors at work.  This help article is a work in progress and so may not be ready for public viewing, and content can change at any time. You can help by contributing to it and discussing on its talk page.   (April 27, 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.

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

Basics

How to add a headliner

Format: ==*insert text here*==
Effect:

*insert text here*

Format: ===*insert text here*===
Effect:

*insert text here*

Format: ====*insert text here*====
Effect:

*insert text here*

Format: =====*insert text here*=====
Effect:

*insert text here*

When 4 or more titles are created, the Table of Contents will automatically be created. Adding __TOC__ or __FORCETOC__ will place the Table of Contents on wherever spot you add it, even if there are less than 4 titles. Adding __NOTOC__ 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:

  1. Waluigi
  2. Scratch
    1. Grounder
  3. Hulk Hogan

How to embed a YouTube video

{{#ev:youtube|_JaW_f45xnY|320}}


Format: {{vid|insert "code" part of the url here}} Example:

If done correctly, the result should be this:



How to embed an image

If you want a image with a thumbnail, try this: [[Image:Imagename.extension|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.extension]]. Usually, you'll still want a border to the image, so add |frame if necessary.

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.

Templates

Transclusion

Add {{templatename}} 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).

Links

  • [[https://chewiki.youchew.net/archive/Luigi]] - [[1]] - Incorrect.
  • [https://chewiki.youchew.net/archive/Luigi Luigi] - Luigi - Messy, so incorrect.
  • [[Luigi]] - Luigi - Correct!

It's also essential to spell the article right, or else it won't work.

External Links

If you don't want the link icon after the links, then put <div class="plainlinks">  </div> around it.

  • <div class="plainlinks">[http://www.youchewpoop.com YouChewPoop]</div> -
    YouChewPoop

(Note that, as seen above, your plainlinks'd text won't be on the same line as the other text.

Additional Info

  • Place {{Stub}} if a page could be significantly expanded.
  • Place {{[[Template:Majorcleanup|Majorcleanup}} if a page you're working on is in progress or on a page that needs major revamping.
