happy editing!
This is the editing guide for the Politiball wiki. Follow these as semi-rules and you'll have no issue, but if you don't then your page might be given the "stub" template or outright deleted.
General Tips
The best way to learn MediaWiki's code is to look at what other pages do and repeat what they do. You can view the source code of pages by clicking the "edit source" button and not save any changes, which lets you learn how the code works. You also have your own sandbox at YourUsername/sandbox in the menu on the top right to experiment with the code without unintentionally ruining the page.
Please do not use visual editor, always use source editing.
If you use ChatGPT or any other AI tool to write your article, you WILL be muted.
Infoboxes
Each different type of page has a different infobox template:
- Use Template:Party for parties.
- Use Template:Value for values.
- Use Template:Ideology for ideologies.
To learn what goes in what places, just look at how other pages do it and copy it from them substituting information OR if i got around to it there should be a guide on each on what to put in each. if there's none in like a week after i type this spam ping me on the discord and vandalise my user page
main body of the article
Writing should be formal and generally correct. should also be simple and sections should not be extremely bloated.
page structure
Divide your pages into sections to make them stand out and be legible to read or else study link in above section.
Page structure should typically should be
- overview
- history
- (occasionally) contemporary position
- personality
- how to draw
- relations
- categories and navboxes
DONT FORGET TO ADD THE CATEGORY AT THE END.
we're gonna add navboxes at some point #trust
For a good example of everything mentioned in this page have a 👀 peep 👀 at Longism
adding icons
Add icons in front of all concepts such as values, countries, parties, politis and some other. Don't overdo it, dont underdo it. if you name a concept, it is best to try to find it in the List of Icons if you want to be sure it doesn't have an icon, or look it up in the search bar to see if other pages use an icon on it. Since icon artists are the lowest denominator of artists there probably will be at some point an icon for your concept. If theres no icon but you feel there should be one, feel free to insert a link to an icon that doesn't exist and feel free to make such icons, just follow the art rules (page pending).
Add a space between text and icon so it looks nice!^^
The relations section should be written in character of whatever the ball is.
submitting your page
If you've made a brand new page and want to submit it feel free to, but if it's low effort and absolutely dumb then don't submit it. Develop it first, and if it's developed enough then we will allow it, but if you submit something like this it's going to get deleted lol.
