New page

'''AKA: How the hell do I post logs on your crazy wiki?'''

== Create the Page ==

To begin, click on 'RP Log' under 'Add New' on the main menu.

Choose a name for your log, and enter it in the box, replacing the 'Scene Name Here' text (but keeping the 'Logs:' bit!). Click 'Start A New Log'.

== Filling in The Details ==

You will now see a screen that looks an awful lot like this:

<pre>{{ Log
| who =
| where =
| what =
| when =
| gamedate = YYYY.MM.DD
| quote =
| weather =
| categories =
| mentions =
| ooc =
| icons =
| log =

{{#ifexist: Logs_talk:{{BASEPAGENAME}} | <hr><hr><br><h2>Comments</h2>{{Logs_talk:{{BASEPAGENAME}}}} |<hr><hr>}}

}}

<comments /></pre>

Step by step:

=== Who ===

Who was in your scene? Fill it out like so, with a comma between each name:

<pre>| who = Joe, Meg, Andy, Sue</pre>

If dragons appeared in the scene, or if someone played an NPC, you can denote that using this code:

<pre>Joe{{!}}Dragonth</pre>

This is the equivalent of <nowiki>[[Joe|Dragonth]]</nowiki>.

=== Where ===

Where did this scene take place? Generally, this is something like 'Living Caverns, High Reaches Weyr'. It is optional.

=== What ===

What happened in this scene? This is generally a short synopsis: 'Joe and Meg ate dinner together, and ran into Andy and Sue. Meanwhile, Dragonth chased wherries out in the bowl.'

=== When ===

This is the IC date of the scene, generally taken from +time on the game, unless another time is agreed upon by the players involved.

=== Gamedate ===

This is the RL date the scene was played on. It ''must'' go in the format ''YYYY.MM.DD''. For example: 2013.04.08.

=== Quote ===

An optional quote from the text of the log.

=== Weather ===

The IC weather description. This is optional.

=== Categories ===

A list of comma delineated categories that the log belongs under. Current categories are listed [[:Category:RP_Logs|here]].

You do not need to put the 'Logs' bit after each category. Instead:

<pre>| categories = General, The Exile Queen, Divided Leadership</pre>

If this is a vignette, please include the category of 'Vignette'.

=== Mentions ===

This is a comma delineated list of characters who were mentioned in this scene.

Please stick to characters only for this, as links to dragons do funny things to the code.

=== OOC ===

Any OOC notes you'd like to make about the contents of this log (or anything else!).

=== Icons ===

A comma delineated list of icons, in the following format:

<pre>| icons = joe smile.jpg, joe dragonth.jpg, meg.jpg, andy.png, sue omg.jpg</pre>

You do ''not'' need to include the 'Icon' part of the file name.

=== Log ===

The log itself.

== Preview and Save ==

Your page should now look more like this:

<pre>{{ Log
| who = Joe, Joe{{!}}Dragonth, Meg, Andy, Sue
| where = Living Caverns, High Reaches Weyr
| what = Joe and Meg ate dinner together, and ran into Andy and Sue. Meanwhile, Dragonth chased wherries out in the bowl.
| when = Day 15, Month 6, Turn 31
| gamedate = 2013.04.08
| quote = "Watch where you're putting that thing, Andy!"
| weather = It is a summer afternoon.
| categories = General, Andy is a Doofus
| mentions = Sally, Anna, Jane
| ooc = It's all Andy's fault, I swear.
| icons = joe smile.jpg, joe dragonth.jpg, meg.jpg, andy.png, sue omg.jpg
| log =

{{#ifexist: Logs_talk:{{BASEPAGENAME}} | <hr><hr><br><h2>Comments</h2>{{Logs_talk:{{BASEPAGENAME}}}} |<hr><hr>}}

}}

<comments /></pre>
