Zoywiki/LotS Officers

Tutorial on adding officers to the Legacy of a Thousand Suns wiki, and having it work properly with wiki. This wiki has a number of temples, and certain steps must be followed to work with the templates. Plus it saves a lot of work letting templates do most of the work. (note that crew procedure is similar)

1) Upload pic of the officer. Take a screenshot of the larger image that pops up when you mouse hover over the officer, and crop it to the 128x128 size of the image. Upload it (click on left upload file)

2) Edit the officers page. Page down and insert the appropriate line alphabetically (easiest is to copy/paste and then edit an existing line). For instance {{LotS/OfficerRow|Loq And Quax}}

3) After you save the page, you can page down and notice there's a bunch of errors in that newly created officer spot on the page. But what we need is the part on that line that says something like "Unable to locate article: LotS/Loq and Quax". Click on that and it will take you to the page you need to edit for the new officer.

4) Its best to copy/paste the wiki entry from an existing officer, and then edit it appropriatly. Here's the info from Gera Marl as an example

{{LotS Item

|name=Gera Marl

|color=Orange

|attack=50

|defense=51

|race=Vlarg

|class=Special

|bonus=Intellect

|type=Officer

|ability=Information Warfare: Gera Marl's Attack and Defense increase for each Intellect crew in the ship

|text=23. None of the assailants were left alive for interrogation -- all had been swept into hell by the manhunter and vigilante's combined fury. But it didn't matter. Kell knew how to get information from the dead. He took DNA samples and uploaded the data to Gera Marl. The Vlarg's team found the truth in minutes. Several of the assault team were known associates of the same notorious crime boss: Benz Manado. A little more hacking revealed that he was the manhunter's anonymous employer. He'd decided to eliminate Kell and the Reaper at the same time. Perhaps he didn't want to pay the bounty hunter's fee, or else had lost faith in him when he shot the pimps instead of the vigilante. Either way, he'd made himself a new enemy.

|obtained={{LotS/Cexp}}

5) You should be done! Save the page! Note that if an officer is from a raid or a vault, make sure to find the appropriate info to edit into the obtained= part of the wiki. Its easiest to find if its linked already somewhere else. You can typically get that info by clicking edit on another officer. Do NOT create such a page unless you are certain it doesn't exist! Make sure to use search (spelling needs to be exact, or use something like vault* to get everything that has vault in the name)
