New page

Everything you need to know about editing.

==Sub-Pages==

For elements that have a lot of content (i.e., animation contained inside actor files), you can create a separate sub-page for the category so the main article doesn't get too full. First, you will need to create a section for sub-pages, as above. (Visit [[:Help:Contents/Editing_Help#Sections|Sections]] for more information.) Then, add this code below the section name:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|-
|<nowiki>{{subpage|Sub-Page Name|image=IMAGE_NAME.png|width=80|text=A brief description of the sub-page, with a relevant image.}}</nowiki>
|}

You will also need to add a thumbnail image that is relevant to your sub-page. The result will look like this:

{{subpage|Map Select|image=TWW_MiniMapSelect.png|width=80|text=Information about the game's map select.}}

The name of the sub-page will be a red link. Click the name to start editing the sub-page, making sure to start the subpage with <code><nowiki>{{subpage}}</nowiki></code>

==Sections==

You can divide an article's content into sections. If you have 3 or more sections, an index will be automatically created at the top of the page. The section you are reading is called "Sections".

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|-
|<nowiki>==Section Name==</nowiki>
|}

==Sub-Headers==

Sections can be divided into subsections by using sub-headers.

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|-
|<nowiki>===Sub-Header Name===</nowiki>
|}

Result:

===Example===

It's easy!

==Text Formatting==

A guide to basic text formatting on the wiki.

===Bold===

To bold text, place three apostrophes before and after the text that you want to be bolded.

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|'''Result:'''
|-
|<nowiki>'''Bold'''</nowiki>
|'''Bold'''
|}

Always use '''bold''' text for controller buttons and D-Pad/joystick movements:

* Press '''Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A''' to make your vehicle explode.

===Italics===

To italicize text, place two apostrophes before and after the text that you want to be italicized.

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|'''Result:'''
|-
|<nowiki>''Italics''</nowiki>
|''Italics''
|}

Always ''italicize'' game titles:

* This spiritual successor to ''Vehicle Race Excellent'' was developed entirely on a ZX Spectrum, in only three weeks' time, on a budget of exactly three cans of SpaghettiOs.

===Bold + Italics===

To bold ''and'' italicize text, place five apostrophes before and after the text that you want to be bolded and italicized.

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|'''Result:'''
|-
|<nowiki>'''''Bold + Italics'''''</nowiki>
|'''''Bold + Italics'''''
|}

Always '''''bold and italicize''''' a game title when it appears in its own article description:

* '''''Jalopy Run Wonderful''''' is a futuristic 3D racing game, and a prime example of what happens when you simply don't give a crap.

===Hex Values & Codes===

Use the code below when writing hexadecimal values (ROM addresses, Gameshark codes, etc.) in your article:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|'''Result:'''
|-
|<nowiki>{{hex|22160484 00000000}}</nowiki>
|{{hex|22160484 00000000}}
|}

Don't forget to note which version of the game your code is for, if there is more than one version.

===Links===

To create a link, place square brackets around the URL. Try not to add red links to pages.

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|'''Result:'''
|-
|<nowiki>[http://tcrf.net]</nowiki>
|[http://tcrf.net]
|}

'''Adding Links to Text:'''

To add links to text, use the following code:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: blue;"
|'''Code:'''
|'''Result:'''
|-
|<nowiki>[http://tcrf.net The Cutting Room Floor]</nowiki>
|[http://tcrf.net The Cutting Room Floor]
|}

'''Linking to Wiki Pages:'''

When you want to link to other pages or files on the wiki, use this code:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|<nowiki>[[Page Name|Link Text]]</nowiki>
|}

Example:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: blue;"
|'''Code:'''
|'''Result:'''
|-
|<nowiki>[[Help:Contents|Help Pages]]</nowiki>
|[[Help:Contents|Help Pages]]
|}

'''Linking Categories:'''

When you want to link to categories, use this code:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|<nowiki>[[:Category:Category_Name|Link Text]]</nowiki>
|}

Example:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: blue;"
|'''Code:'''
|'''Result:'''
|-
|<nowiki>[[:Category:GameShark_Codes|Gameshark Codes]]</nowiki>
|[[:Category:GameShark_Codes|Gameshark Codes]]
|}

===Tables===

To create a table, use the following code:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|-
|<nowiki>{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left;"</nowiki> 
<nowiki>!Column Header 1</nowiki> 
<nowiki>!Column Header 2</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|-</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|Row A, Column 1</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|Row A, Column 2</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|-</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|Row B, Column 1</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|Row B, Column 2</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|-</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|Row C, Column 1</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|Row C, Column 2</nowiki> 
<nowiki>|}</nowiki>
|}

Result:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left;"
!Column Header 1
!Column Header 2
|-
|Row A, Column 1
|Row A, Column 2
|-
|Row B, Column 1
|Row B, Column 2
|-
|Row C, Column 1
|Row C, Column 2
|}

===Lists===

To create a list, use <nowiki>#</nowiki>:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|'''Result:'''
|-
|<nowiki># Apples</nowiki> 
<nowiki># Grapes</nowiki> 
<nowiki># Kiwis</nowiki>
| 
# Apples
# Grapes
# Kiwis
|}

To add subpoints to your lists, use <nowiki>*</nowiki>:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: blue;"
|'''Code:'''
|'''Result:'''
|-
|<nowiki># Apples</nowiki> 
<nowiki>#* Red</nowiki> 
<nowiki># Grapes</nowiki> 
<nowiki>#* Purple</nowiki> 
<nowiki># Kiwis</nowiki> 
<nowiki>#* Green</nowiki>
| 
# Apples
#* Red
# Grapes
#* Purple
# Kiwis
#* Green
|}

===Boxes===

Create boxes around your text with <nowiki><pre> </pre></nowiki> tags:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|'''Result:'''
|-
|<nowiki><pre>This is an example.</pre></nowiki>
|<pre>This is an example.</pre>
|}

===Line Breaks===

Use a <nowiki> </nowiki> tag to insert a line break in your text.

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: blue;"
|'''Code:'''
|'''Result:'''
|-
|<nowiki>I like line breaks. Don't you?</nowiki>
|I like line breaks. Don't you?
|}

===Horizontal Lines===

Use four hyphens to manually insert a horizontal line across the page, like so:

----

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|-
|<nowiki>----</nowiki>
|}

==Tags==

{{subpage|Tagging Articles|text=Tags you can add to articles in order to alert readers about things that need to be done.|image=Tcrf-wipicon.png‎|width=32}}

==Citing Sources==
If your information is from other websites or users, you can credit them with the <nowiki>{{source}}</nowiki> tag:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|'''Result:'''
|-
|<nowiki>{{source|Person A (Code), Person B (Screenshot)}}</nowiki>
|{{source|Person A (Code), Person B (Screenshot)}}
|}

You can also link sources.

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: green;"
|'''Code:'''
|'''Result:'''
|-
|<nowiki>{{source|1=[http://tcrf.net/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time TCRF] & [http://the-gcn.net The GCN]}}</nowiki>
|{{source|1=[http://tcrf.net/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time TCRF] & [http://the-gcn.net The GCN]}}
|}

==Adding Categories==

If you need to add a page to more than one category, use this code:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; color: blue;"
|'''Code:'''
|<nowiki>[[Category:Actors]]</nowiki>
|}
