Template Lists

A template is the list that appears over every member's article. It is formatted like so:

Their username

Forum default.png
MemberType Member.gif
X First badge<br /> Y Second badge<br />Z Third badge
Profile
Aliases: Any other names they've used, separate with commas
Real name: Their actual name
Interests: Their interests, separate with commas
Site id none.png Forum id none.gif

Edit this section to see the source by clicking the "Edit" text next to this section's title. This template can be placed anywhere in the document, but is preferable at the very top, above absolutely everything else.

In this example, X, Y, and Z are numbers. They range from 1 to 5+. The <br /> tag gives a line break. For example, "5+ First Place Minigame Comp". Current badges are:

  • First Place Sprite Comp
  • Second Place Sprite Comp
  • Top Five Sprite Comp
  • First Place Drawing Comp
  • Second Place Drawing Comp
  • Top Five Drawing Comp
  • Minigame Comp

It is unclear whether Administrator or Moderator badges should be included. ShadowMan will need to clarify.

Categories

At the bottom of any given document shound be links in the following format:

[[Category: Name]]


This will cause a special link to appear where it is placed, leading to a category. If the document's name begins with the word "The", it is preferable to do this:

[[Category: Name|<Document name - "the">]]


This will cause the document to be sorted ignoring the word "The", which is highly preferable. "The Explosive Mushroom" has a tag like this, as seen below:

[[Category: Name|Explosive Mushroom]]
