re: Jak and Daxter Wiki

Wiki Pages

Of course I can.

First, you have to upload an image. The option is right under the search bar. It's pretty straightforward from here; just choose the image you want to upload. However for this wiki we're going to follow my image filename guidelines as much as we can, so please read that before uploading an image. Please make sure that you also check all the images in our gallery so you don't upload a duplicate image or in case we have a better image.

From then on it's pretty straight forward. If you're planning to make a new character page, then please remember to use our character infobox. The layout is like this;

code

{{Infobox2
|title = Jak
|image = [[Image:GrowingJak.jpg|300px]]
|imagecaption = ''Jak through the years''

|Name :: Jak
|Role :: Main character
|Elements :: Dark, light, special (channels all types of eco)
|Residence :: Sandover Village<br>Haven City<br>Spargus
|Relations :: [[Explorer]] '''(Uncle)'''<br>[[Damas]] '''(Father)'''
|First Appearance :: [[Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy]]
|Other Appearances :: [[Jak II]]<br>[[Jak 3]]<br>[[Jak X: Combat Racing]]<br>[[Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier]]
|Cameos :: [[Daxter]]
}}

From the Jak page.

Edit out those parts as is necessary; nothing else. However, take special note of the image tags;

code

[[Image:GrowingJak.jpg|300px]]

That is one of the most basic image tags you'll see, with the most basic being something like [[Image:GrowingJak.jpg]]. Basically you have to keep the [[Image:]] part in. After it you type down the filename of your image. So say, for example, I uploaded a file named SigCharge, and it's a JPEG file, I would put;

code

[[Image:SigCharge.jpg]]

And it would appear as a normal image.

I'll get a more complex code for you so we can break it down.

code

[[Image:Jak2Character.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Jak, along with Daxter, as he appears in Jak II: Renegade]]

The | symbols are used to separate the functions. Please note that if you miss out one of these functions, you DON'T have to put in another |.

In order;

1) You already know about Image:.
2) thumb - turns the image into a thumbnail. As a substitute you could also use frame instead of thumb; Karis favours this option though I prefer thumb.
3) left - aligns the image to the left. You can cut this part out though; if you don't put anything here, it automatically aligns to the right. You can also type center rather than left.
4) 200px - resizes the image. You can resize it to any size you like - 200px, 300px, 500px, 1000px, 45px - it's your choice. Just make sure it's not too insane. Also, preview the page a number of times so you know you've got it right.
5) Comment - This puts a comment below the image in the thumbnail. Pretty simple really.

There are other functions but you won't have to use them.

Honestly, our best example of one of these pages is Jak; that's why it's our spotlight page. If you haven't understood anything in this post, point it out and I'll try to explain it more in-depth.[color=#eef0f9]

quote Relmutsie AN
A contributor tag is earned when a member contributes a certain amount of [pages/edits/bytes] to that particular wiki. Nobody (except the wiki admins and neostaff) actually knows what has to be done, but rest assured it's a substantial amount. Congrats on the tag Skillet.

So you pretty much just do what you can, and then hope it's enough.

re: Jak and Daxter Wiki

Uh just about. We don't usually worry about tags, but if you get one it helps your case when you apply for staff. Of course it doesn't just stop when you get the tag though. You have to constantly contribute to maintain it; a genius system designed to prevent tag hunters.

Eh, a little bit. It doesn't matter if you have it when you apply though. I got both of my spots without my tag.

re: Jak and Daxter Wiki

You don't have to have one, it just helps to have one. It shows how much you've contributed to the wiki anyway.

re: Jak and Daxter Wiki

Sorry about me not doing my work guys. I'm still supervising over all of the wikis, and would like to "announce" a project. I don't think we'll need to assign people, but there are some people I DON'T want working on it. Sorry for you guys. I won't insult you in public. Hopefully you can figure it out yourself.

Please start cleaning up some of the pages. It's not majorly a cleanup, it's more a "go-and-make-sure-proper-grammer-is-used"up. Sorry, but none of it looked right. At least, what I saw today.

re: Jak and Daxter Wiki

Good plan. How about I take care of grammar and expansion, and you take care of the stubs?

I'll set the new page standard to 450 bytes (excluding lists). I want this wiki developed as much as possible.

Operation Clean Up Wiki

EDIT: Screw it. I'll start on the stubs today.

re: Jak and Daxter Wiki

Hmm, sorry about the stub pages guys. That's all I could think abou those characters at that moment. I'll try to improve them today.

Due to recent "attacks" on Luke, I've blocked the main page.

Hey guys, I want to call a meeting between anybody who wants to get involved. Can you all tell me your timezones and your best login times so I can organise an IRC conversation?

Well it's been a month and no progress has been made, so I'm re-opening the project. Feel free to edit anything you like. I'll be back to work in due time.

re: Jak and Daxter Wiki

I've already alerted everyone (except maybe Luke), that I'll be able to edit when I get the chance. If I don't edit within two weeks, I'll PM the Admins for a temp. demotion.
