Wrincewind: created an example page for Creators.

2021-05-14T18:06:02Z

created an example page for Creators.

New page

{{Infobox creator
| name = Name
| image = wrincewind.gif
| caption = Caption
| series = Name of series, e.g. October's Jaunt
| homepage = link 1 <br/> link 2
| type = Author, Commissioner, Artist
| first_work = First Work (Internal Link)
}}

This is a template for creating a new Creator!

the Infobox should be fairly self explanatory - you may need to upload a file for the image. Feel free to leave any slots blank and delete 'type's as appropriate.

This area can hold info about the creator, their overarching works, and any other information that seems relevant but doesn't *quite* fit on another page.

The below table explains the various links you'll see dumped at the bottom of a Creator page and what they all do, so you'll have a better idea of which you'll need and how to use them.

{| class="wikitable"
|<nowiki> {{<USERNAME>'s Characters}} </nowiki> ||You'll need to create this template, but it isn't terribly difficult - look at [https://cafeplaisir.co.uk/index.php?title=Template:Wrincewind%27s_Characters&action=edit Wrincewind's Character Template] for example. All you need to do is copy/paste that into a new page called 'template:Larry's Characters' (or whoever), change the name from Wrincewind to Larry in the 'name' and 'title' boxes, and write your character names into the list1 with a * before each one. Don't worry about the links not leading anywhere - that just shows folks what pages need to be made still. And don't be afraid to make bare-bones pages! A bare page is miles better than an empty one!
|-
|<nowiki> {{creators}} </nowiki> || Don't forget to add this new creator to the page! You can put them in all 3 categories if need be, but do keep it alphabetized - it doesn't do that automatically.)
|-
|<nowiki>[[category:artists]], [[category:authors]], [[category:commissioners]]</nowiki> || You only need to include the 'category' tag if they're actually an artist or author or whatnot.)
|}
Don't forget to remove these nowiki tags, they stop the above links and templates and such from doing anything!
