PCs:Style

This is an unofficial Avlis Wiki style guide until it has been approved by an admin.

This style guide is a guid on formatting PCs pages. PCs pages are any pages with the name starting with "PCs:", excluding this page. PCs: pages are intended to give other people information on a PC. Please read PCs for information what the PCs pages are intended to be used for.

Text

• Make sure your text is readable, most importantly, by adding paragraphs. Remember that you need to hit return two times, not one, or use the <br> tag.

• Don't copy from other pages. Example: the page of Joe the priest of Mikon should not contain a copied part of the Mikon page, even if it would illustrate well why Joe became a priest of Mikon. Use links to the page instead, or "See: Page X".

• Format links to the Avlis Boards, by using [http://link.com link text]. Long links are ugly, especially if you have a list of 10 PM addresses or forum topics to link to.

Images

If you're going to use thumbnail images, make sure you don't put them in a table with a coloured background, as Mediawiki will add a white frame around it, ruining the effect. If you're going to use images on a table, and they need to be scaled, try using a set px value instead of 'thumb' or frame.

For reference, see the image line and effect it has for Sinomii's current page and the old one --p0m 12:50, 12 Jun 2006 (GMT)
