Basic Information
Our Wiki is powered by MediaWiki, the same platform that powers Wikipedia.
It also uses the MediaWiki formatting markup, which you can refer to and bookmark HERE.
General Section Formatting
==Lv. 2 Headline Text== Used for Page Sections, like ==Ad Interpretation==
===Lv. 3 Headline Text=== Used for Page Subsections, like ===Historical References===
====Lv. 4 Headline Text==== Very rarely used.
Formatting Templates
Templates will allow us to maintain a consistent layout across the Wiki. I've tried to include many types of pages that may be created, but this section will continue to grow as the wiki does. Some templates use infoboxes—Please refer to Wikipedia's Infobox Documentation to learn more about them.
Ad Pages
Use the following template to create and format an ad page. Copy and paste the below code into a new page and fill in the appropriate information.
{{Infobox |title = X/X/XX Ad |subheader = MAY DAY XXXX |label2 = Publication Date |data2 = MONTH X, XXXX |label3 = Ad Source |data3 = [http://www.maydaymystery.org/mayday/texts/xx-xxxx.html MM Site] |label4 = Smiley Type |data4 = [[Smiley with X hairs]] }} == Ad Transcript == ==Ad Border== ==Ad Image== [[File:NAME.jpg]] ==Leitmotiv== ==Ad References== * ===Religious References=== * ===Historical References=== * ===Scientific References=== * ===Literary References=== * ===Translations=== *
Formatting Biographical Pages
Use the following template to create and format an biographical page. Copy and paste the below code into a new page and fill in the appropriate information.
{{Infobox |title = FULL NAME |subheader = SUBHEADER |image = [[File:FILENAME.jpg|200px|CAPTION]] |label2 = Born |data2 = MONTH DD, YYYY |label3 = Died |data3 = MONTH DD, YYYY (age XX) |label4 = Nationality |data4 = NATIONALITY |label5 = Occupation |data5 = OCCUPATION, YYYY-YYYY |label6 = Religion |data6 = RELIGION, IF RELEVANT |label7 = Known For |data7 = LIST OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS |label8 = Wikipedia |data8 = [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XX_XX WIKI PAGE TITLE] }} INTRODUCTORY TEXT ==SECTION TITLE== ==SECTION TITLE==
