This wiki is very much under construction. The original wiki was set to be shut down and the wiki was largely mirrored to a Fandom-based version, though most of the reference images had not yet been copied over. This migration was put on hold when it appeared the original wiki could in fact be retained, however the old wiki was lost in its entirety when the server was among the many taken down by a massive series of cyberattacks on data centers during early February, 2023. It is now being rebuilt with the launch of Hel. Sorry if it's a little messy right now!
Help:Templates
To help maintain consistency and simplify some tasks, a number of Templates are used across the wiki. This page provides an overview of all templates currently in use.
A complete list of all templates currently defined on this wiki can be found here.
Content type markers
These templates are used to categorize what kind of content the page contains. They automatically place the page in the corresponding category (or categories).
Currently the following content type markers are used:
- {{Clan}} - for pages about Moonless Age clans; example of usage here
- {{Character}} - for pages about Moonless Age characters; example of usage here
- {{Location}} - for pages about Moonless Age locations (regions, cities, landmarks); example of usage here
Auto content
These templates transform into some kind of standard text/disclaimer/content:
- {{Cat main | <target page>}} - used to specify a main page for a category page; example of usage here
- {{Appears in | <chapter numbers>}} - shows a graphical list of chapters in which a subject appears. Also automatically puts the page in the corresponding categories.
- {{Last update | <chapter number>}} - used as a footer of a page; shows during which chapter was the page last updated. Also creates a link to an archive version of the page if applicable; example of usage here
- {{CharacterList | <name> -- <description> | <name> -- <description> | ...}} - generates a tiled list with portraits and links to character pages; description is optional
- {{Summary | <pagename>}} - inserts a short summary of a different wiki page. For an example of use see the list of Great Clans on the Clans page
- {{ChapterRef | <chapter> | <page>}} - Transforms into a link to a page in the main DrowTales archive.
