Scribe Page Question

Hey Lachlan! I want to make a new page that will list all the scrolls by recipent (just a list without the thumbnails) and also link the same information on the page of each recipient. So there will be one master list one could go to to see if a scroll had been done. And one could also see the scrolls done for a person on their own page. Can you tell me how to make a new page for the master list and what would be good formating for it? Thanks! Aliskye 13:43, 3 November 2009 (PST)

To make a new page, put the title you plan to use ("Scrolls by Recipient"?) into the search box and hit "Search". You'll get a page telling you no page was found with that title, and a link to create a the page. Click the link to get a standard edit box and start filling...

Format? How about:

• Aliskye MacKyven Raizel

Award of Arms scroll by Alexandre le Bonhomme

Crescent scroll by Alexandre le Bonhomme

• Lachlan of Cromarty

Award of Arms scroll by Zenobia Naphtali

Dolphin scroll by Zenobia Naphtali‎

Which comes from the code:

*[[Aliskye MacKyven Raizel]]
:[[:Image:AlexandreLeBonhomme3.JPG|Award of Arms scroll]] by [[Alexandre le Bonhomme]]
:[[:Image:AlexandreLeBonhomme3.JPG|Crescent scroll]] by [[Alexandre le Bonhomme]]
*[[Lachlan of Cromarty]]
:[[:Image:Zenobia55.jpg|Award of Arms scroll]] by [[Zenobia Naphtali]]
:[[:Image:Zenobia55.jpg|Dolphin scroll]] by [[Zenobia Naphtali]]‎ ‎‎

Leading a line with ":" produces an "unordered" list without any bullet (as opposed to the more familiar "*" prefix, which gives you a bulleted list)--Lachlan 21:42, 3 November 2009 (PST)

Thanks Lachlan! I think that works perfectly. Oh boy! More work to do :) Aliskye 22:59, 3 November 2009 (PST)

New Question

Hey Lachlan! How do I make a new category? I.E. A category for a scroll type that hasn't been used before? Also, on the Category: Scrolls page, it starts with an alphabetic listing of categories, but not the Knight and Laurel entries (or anything past H in the alphabet). What's up with that?  :) Aliskye 12:12, 19 November 2009 (PST)

• Adding a new category tag in any page automatically makes a new category with that name. A subcategory is created by placing a tag to the root category within the subcategory listing page. That's been done with Category:Laurel Scrolls and Category:Knight Scrolls, but I don't know why they are not listed as subcategories of Category:Scrolls. I did a bunch of minor edits trying to get it to work. I created a new subcategory, Category:Leaf of Merit Scrolls, but it was not listed. I could remove Category:Harp Argent Scrolls as a subcategory of Scrolls, but it still didn't list any additional subcategories. A conumdrum.--Lachlan 14:09, 19 November 2009 (PST)

• • The other categories are there, you just have to page through all the scroll pages to find them. I don't get it. Aliskye 15:43, 19 November 2009 (PST)

Editor

Lachlan, I would be honored. I like helping, so that would not be a problem. You could put me down for areas like General, Barony of the Angels, Early Caid. Not claiming to be the ultimate expert on any of the three, you understand. :) --James the Inconstant 22:58, 16 November 2009 (PST)

Thank You!

Lachlan, Thank you for all the time and effort you have put into the wiki office, and your willingness to step up as administrator when you were needed. Thank you for staying on as an editor. It is very much appreciated! --Kolfinna 10:53, 7 August 2009 (PDT)
