If you are allowed to edit pages in this Site, simply click on edit button at the bottom of the page. This will open an editor with a toolbar pallette with options.
To create a link to a new page, use syntax: [[[new page name]]] or [[[new page name | text to display]]]. Follow the link (which should have a different color if page does not exist) and create a new page and edit it!
Although creating and editing pages is easy, there are a lot more options that allows creating powerful sites. Please visit Documentation pages to learn more.
Preparing to add pages: getting the converter
The converter I have ready runs in Word. To use it (these instructions are for Word 2003):
- open word
- press alt-F11 to open the VBA editor
- enter the module in the normal section on the left side
- If there is no module in the open section, right click on normal and go to insert>module
- copy the text in the code block on the code converter page
- paste into the open module in the VBA editor
- select save in the editor, then close the window
in word:
- go to the tools menu and select customize
- select the Toolbars tab
- press New…
- give it a name, like Color Converter or something
- make the toolbar available to normal
- an empty toolbar will pop up somewhere on your screen
- now select the Commands tab
- find macros in the categories list
- drag the colorcodetowiki macro onto the new toolbar
- right click on the macro in the toolbar, the default style is icon only
- choose how you want it displayed/edit the icon
- drag the toolbar where you can easily access it
- close the toolbar popup
- close word
Adding items
These following steps show how to add an item for the main places to get items, if a step is not needed, skip it:
- Add the appropriate zone level/shop area to the respective All Zones or All Shops list
- Add the zone according to the Zone template or shopkeeper according to the shopkeeper template
- Add the boss according to the Boss template
- Create a page using the name of the item and paste the code output from my converter for the item's full lore
- Using the converter
- open word
- access color-code-list or use your own color codes (which should be added to the color code list page)
- the converter is designed for one item/string at a time
- but you can do multiple if you want, just move the first [[/span]] tag to the end of the item
- paste the item into a blank word document
- press the button you made for the converter macro
- create a page with the name of the item
- paste the output of the converter into the page you just created
- save the page
- Click on "+options" in the bottom right corner of your screen, then parent, and put in the name of the boss/shopkeeper
- Follow the breadcrumbs at the top of the page until you reach the respective All Zones or All Shops page.
- Include the item on the correct page and location using the [[include the-item-name-]] format
- Make sure you can reach the page the item is included on from the All Zones/All Shops page
Notes
- Remove unneeded template patterns, these can be added back in later
- If an item's location is unknown, add it to the Unknown Location page
- You can add new organizations of items, like a list of rare items, all weapons, or cloth equipment, whatever. Just make sure you have a plan for the organization of the page, like by worn location/then level/then alphabetized.
