Is there a tutorial on how to create a good wiki for althanas?

Would it help if you had a template in which you could insert your own information and copy/paste it into your wiki character article?

yes

That actually might be the best way to do this

Yeah, I've been tossing around the idea of doing a wiki page for my characters, but I was unsure of format and organization.

Okay then. I just went through the process of making a page myself, so I'll whip up a general template.

Okay - just replace the parts in all caps with your own information. If there are too few or too many examples, just delete or copy/paste and edit.

If there is a section you want that is not in this template, then wrap the title of it in h1 tags, and the subsequent category titles within in h2 tags. This is necessary for the table of contents to display properly.

The template is in Notepad. Save it to your computer, make your changes (and rename/save it again for future use), and then copy/paste the entire thing into the editor within the Wiki article. I suggest previewing the article before posting it.

Let me know if you have any questions. I'll do my best to help.

No problem. I borrowed a good portion of the formatting from Artie's profile, because he did a very good job with it.

On a side note, here is a link (https://www.vaultwiki.org/pages/Special:Wikicodelist) Dirks provided a while back for Wiki codes.

And for kicks, vBulletin codes (http://www.althanas.com/world/misc.php?do=bbcode) link.
