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) in the box below, and then click the Create Page button. DCAM logs are logs which take place in the self-contained DC inspired world and are kept separate to preserve that world as it's own individual game. If a scene takes place primarily in one of it's locations, please use the blue input box below. Remember: Red is for Twisted logs. Blue is for DCAM logs. Please try not to confuse the two.
For older logs, please refer to the following arc titling guides:
For non-Twisted logs or logs concerning the ChronoMUCK era, please reach out to a member of staff.
All logs must contain the Logsummary template. This template is automatically added to the page when you create it using the above steps. (See example below)
On your log page, fill in each field after the =
{{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! |}}
After saving the code above will generate a page resembling the example below. It is recommended you use the "Show Preview" button before "Save Page" so you can make changes without having to edit the page each time. Remember when viewing previews that you still have to click "Save Page" when you're satisfied with out everything looks.
Example:
Test Log | ||
---|---|---|
Summary: This is how the log code works. |
Log goes here! | |
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 100 by 100 pixels and saved as a .gif. It should populate on all pages it's called on once you refresh them.
Please be careful not to tag people who where not involved in the scene. It can sometimes become a huge ordeal to remove icons once the page is saved because of the way the wiki stores information.
