GuildWiki talk:Editing guide

Can you give examples of what you mean by "comment page sources?" --Sarron 01:26, 16 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * This is mainly for comments that are difficult to reference on the discussion page and so can be written inline. You probably wont have to do this though. 03:59, 16 Jul 2005 (EST)
 * Well, to actually answer the question, when you put text within the comment tags in an article, it doesn't get displayed in the article. However, when someone edits the article they will see the tags and text.  (And maybe if someone views the source for the article page, but that wouldn't be the point.)  --Fyren 06:30, 16 Jul 2005 (EST)

This is an incredible helpful page that is incredibly badly linked to. --Xeeron 07:02, 31 March 2006 (CST)

Adding Images
The Image section of the help page is vacant. I need help on adding screenshots of the Assassin Exotic armor. Thanks.

I also would like help with adding images. I would like to work on the Canthan collectors, formating and adding maps, but when I go to General collectors (Southern Shiverpeaks) and open the edit screen for any of the sections that include a map to copy the formatting, there is no reference to any image file that I can find. Also, instructions on where to upload images to would be usefull :).

Need assistance uploading image for locationg of Chung, the Attuned. GodOfAtheism 05:21, 11 May 2006 (CDT)

Marking posts
No wonder people don't sign their posts... It's not even in the basic editing guide... we need a section to be put in about adding in a signature. --Jamie  09:38, 12 July 2006 (CDT)
 * At least gives me a reason to go trigger happy with the Unsigned template! :D &mdash; Rapta  [[image:Rapta_Icon1.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 22:01, 14 July 2006 (CDT)

Font
Is there no way to change font? It's just for my signature. :( --Macros 13:37, 6 August 2006 (CDT)


 * This should help.  text here . where n is a number ranging from 1 to 7. -Gares 14:02, 6 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Well, I ended up here and it just plain doesn't seem to work with signatures. At least the face part doesn't. Even tried it with the CSS code. (BTW, I'm putting all this in my preferences "Custom Signature" so I just have to hit that nifty button up there...) --Macros 14:13, 6 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Ugh! Don't use the &lt;font&gt; tag! It's been deprecated for years! Instead, use something like this:

Text here.
 * You can include all sorts of stuff in that declaration, as this handy page shows. I request that you don't change the size of the font in your sig, though, as that'll just annoy me when I read talk pages. :) &mdash;Tanaric 14:42, 6 August 2006 (CDT)


 * I have come to the conclusion that it is impossible to change the font face (or 'family') on this Wiki. If you take exactly what you said, or the stuff from that website, or from Wikipedia's own website, you get no results. Maybe someone more experienced could figure it out if they want, but I won't be messing with it anymore. --Macros 16:12, 6 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Well, I had to look on my bookshelf for my XHTML book for dummies :P. I went old school and while Span tag is the best option, Tanaric got the syntax wrong. Here is what I just did with my signature: Gares and this is what it looks like: Gares


 * I have colored my name, created a background color, and changed the font size. Also make sure your Raw Signatures box is checked on. If you need to know more about tags, google can be your best friend. - Gares 16:58, 6 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Hehe, I'm so noob. Remember to check the Raw Signatures box, kiddies! :D -- Macros† 08:54, 7 August 2006 (CDT)


 * My syntax was mostly fine.   I didn't realize the font-size part of the shorthand declaration was required. &mdash;Tanaric 10:16, 7 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Remember to keep a link to your user page/talk page in your signature. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 14:05, 7 August 2006 (CDT)

possible to define edit sections?
to explain it easily, have a look on my user page. there i have many boxes, and id like to have ONE edit button (top right, where else ;) ) in each box to edit THIS BOX. if i delete the NOEDITSECTION i have too many edit links to too small sections...

so, can please either explain some1 how i might do that, or tell me a link to a 'wiki code reference'? thanks, HJT 08:14, 16 August 2006 (CDT)


 * You change the smaller headings to large text instead. Try using the tag and bolding with three hyphens ''' . --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 09:57, 16 August 2006 (CDT)


 * cool, i gonna try that as soon as i have time :) but anyway, is there nowhere a complete reference of all wiki code? i would have needed a guide to tables, this afternoon... something like, uhm... a link on this page will do ;) HJT 15:21, 16 August 2006 (CDT)
