When posting your logs, please keep the following guidelines in mind. Remember, your logs are out here for anyone with internet access to see. Due to the nature of a wiki, what you post will be around for a very long time, even if you change the page later. People can always access your changes using the history feature.
Type the name of your Log following the titling guidelines (YYYY-MM-DD - Log Title or YYYY-MM-DD (PreU) Log Title) in the box below, and then click the Create Page button.
After you have filled out the Summary information, paste the log into the file and click the SHOW PREVIEW button. If everything is groovy, click the SAVE PAGE button. See the example below if you're not sure what your log page should look like.
This method is a bit more involved than the first method.
To create the link for your log, go to your character's bio page, and scroll down to the Logs section, then click on the edit link to the right.
In the edit box, type the title of the log (see the Titling rules below), then highlight the entire string and click the Inline Link () button. That should surround your log title with double brackets [[ ]]. When that's done, hit the SAVE PAGE button.
Now, you should have a red link to the log in your Logs section. It's red because it doesn't link to a page with any information on it. Click on the link, and you will be redirected to a new page with an edit box.
Paste the Logsummary info into the edit box, then your log. Click on the SHOW PREVIEW button and make sure that everything looks nice before hitting the SAVE PAGE button. This will cut down on unnecessary edits.
To keep logs consistent, they should be titled in the following format:
YYYY-MM-DD - Name of Log
For Pre-Unification logs please use this format instead:
YYYY-MM-DD (PreU) Name of Log
All logs must contain the Logsummary template. The Logsummary template will automatically group the log into the Logs category.
To use this log summary table in your log, copy-and-paste the following:
{{Logsummary| Title= |Summary= |Who= |Date= |Where= |Log= |}}
Fill in your information after the =
Example:
{{Logsummary| Title=Test Log |Summary=This is how the log code works. |Who=[[Crono]], [[Johnny_C]], [[Lucca]] |Date=Right now |Where=Right here |Log=Log goes here! |}}

Summary: This is how the log code works. |

Who: Crono, Johnny_C, Lucca When: Right now Where: Right here | ||

Sometimes you need to edit a log with an additional step to remove formatting mistakes. Here are some of the most common problems and the solutions.
Example:
The problem here is that the pose started off with an asterisk so the wiki thought you where making a bulleted list. Wrap the beginning of the pose in a pair of <nowiki> tags.
Example:
<nowiki>*</nowiki>SPLAT* The pie slowly fell off of Cale's face sending a chuckle through the crowd.
Example:
Crux has disappointed the headwiz for the last time!
The fix to this problem is as simple as removing the spaces at the start of the line. Indents don't work well with wiki code. Alternatively you could use the above <nowiki> solution.
Recently we've added a new system that displays icons of characters at the top of log pages. You do not need to do anything to make these work! As long as characters are tagged properly in the log summary, icons will be automatically added.
If you do not have an icon set for yourself, visit the log tab of your character's profile and click the yourname-icon.gif image in the corner. Upload whatever you like as "a new version of this file" and make sure your image is saved as a .gif. It should populate on all pages it's called on once you refresh them.
