Thank You!

Lachlan, Thank you for all the time and effort you have put into the wiki office, and your willingness to step up as administrator when you were needed. Thank you for staying on as an editor. It is very much appreciated! --Kolfinna 10:53, 7 August 2009 (PDT)


Wiki Editor

Greetings. This is a blanket note being sent to all the Editors of the CaidWiki. It has been approximately a year since most of you have held this position. The editor position on the wiki requires a bit more responsibility than the regular user, as you are a go to resource for people needing help and are a reviewer for the areas allocated to you (as shown on the Help:Team). If you'd like to remain as an editor for another year, please reply to this message. If you'd like to become a regular user (no responsibility, but still have the ability to edit anything any time), please reply to this message. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Thanks! --Kolfinna 11:23, 7 August 2009 (PDT)

Formatting

  • Thank you for doing that formatting on Kolfinna's page. It seems we were working on the same thing at the same time and you pushed the button first. I like your version better, anyway. Sad times, my friend.--James the Inconstant 11:58, 2 October 2009 (PDT)
  • How could we do less? I've seen her do it for others. She deserves no less. It also consoles me that there was something I could do for her. Her absence leaves a hole in the lives of all she touched.--James the Inconstant 15:27, 2 October 2009 (PDT)

Test Area

Scribe Page Question

Hey Lachlan! I want to make a new page that will list all the scrolls by recipent (just a list without the thumbnails) and also link the same information on the page of each recipient. So there will be one master list one could go to to see if a scroll had been done. And one could also see the scrolls done for a person on their own page. Can you tell me how to make a new page for the master list and what would be good formating for it? Thanks! Aliskye 13:43, 3 November 2009 (PST)

To make a new page, put the title you plan to use ("Scrolls by Recipient"?) into the search box and hit "Search". You'll get a page telling you no page was found with that title, and a link to create a the page. Click the link to get a standard edit box and start filling...

Format? How about:

Award of Arms scroll by Alexandre le Bonhomme
Crescent scroll by Alexandre le Bonhomme
Award of Arms scroll by Zenobia Naphtali
Dolphin scroll by Zenobia Naphtali

Which comes from the code:

*[[Aliskye MacKyven Raizel]]
:[[:Image:AlexandreLeBonhomme3.JPG|Award of Arms scroll]] by [[Alexandre le Bonhomme]]
:[[:Image:AlexandreLeBonhomme3.JPG|Crescent scroll]] by [[Alexandre le Bonhomme]]
*[[Lachlan of Cromarty]]
:[[:Image:Zenobia55.jpg|Award of Arms scroll]] by [[Zenobia Naphtali]]
:[[:Image:Zenobia55.jpg|Dolphin scroll]] by [[Zenobia Naphtali]]‎

Leading a line with ":" produces an "unordered" list without any bullet (as opposed to the more familiar "*" prefix, which gives you a bulleted list)--Lachlan 21:42, 3 November 2009 (PST)
