Wiki needs you![/size]
So yeah, practically looking for help. I've done a few pages now, simplified the general syntax (sorry Tenson, using tabled HTML is too messy and hard to update) so there are some samples one can take a look at. It can be just one page to do, it'll help.
Currently the pages that are the most important to do: There is no sample for the roles page, so if someone starts filling it, I might change the syntax and appearance later on. For the album pages, you can find several samples:
http://maayas.net/wiki/Yuunagi_Loop
http://maayas.net/wiki/Shounen_Alice
http://maayas.net/wiki/Grapefruit
http://maayas.net/wiki/Primary_Days
I haven't coordinated my own edits, I tend to do whatever happens to feel worth of doing. You can do that as well.
Styling[/size]
Some general help and information:
- use <big>...</big> to enlarge text
- use <small>...</small> to shrink text
- use ''...'' to do italic
- use '''...''' to do bold (using '''''...''''' will do bold italic)
- use : at the start of the line to indent text
- use ==Big Header== for main subheaders; you get smaller headers with more = characters
- images: [[Image:Filename.jpg|Name of the image]] or [[Image:Filename.jpg|right|Name of the image]] or [[Image:Filename.jpg|left|thumb|Name of the image]]
- use ;Small header : Detailed description to list a lot of listlike items (see Events page).
- use [http://url.here URL here] to link to other sites
- use [[Maaya Sakamoto]] to link to other pages
- use [[Maaya Sakamoto|Maaya]] to link to other pages using a custom word in the link
After a while of pondering, I ended up choosing this kind of system:
- Album names, single names, events in English or Romaji
- Song names in Japanese/original format; if the song name is in English and there is or will be a conflicting page with the same name, use 「 and 」 in the song name (see Primary Days for a sample)
- People names in western format, ie. Maaya Sakamoto and Yoko Kanno
- No CAPS in page names, ie. we use "Loop" not "LOOP". We do use the somewhat general way of capitalizing each word of the song, ie. "Another Grey Day in the Big Blue World" not "another grey day in the big blue world". The only place we can use the original names as they are is in the "Original title" portion in the song's page.
- Unless a certain other style have become common, we use the longer formatting for lengthened romaji: ie. Yuunagi Loop, not Yunagi Loop or Shounen Alice not Shonen Alice. One major exception is Yoko Kanno (would be Youko Kanno). We use Yoko because it is clearly the most used format everywhere.
- If the romaji is an English word or name, we use the English format (ie. Shounen Alice not Shounen Arisu).
Long post...
