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)
*This wiki uses a number of templates to give a similar layout for all of the Item/Officer/Ship pages and requires that certain fields and info are provided, this saves a lot of time and only requires minimal data entry to complete a page.
(note that crew procedure is similar, I will create a guide page for all of the variables at a future time once I have the format set -  [[User:Lorak990|Lorak990]] ([[User talk:Lorak990|talk]]))


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 <nowiki>{{LotS/OfficerRow|Loq And Quax}}</nowiki>
1) Upload the image of the officer. Take a screenshot of the larger image that pops up when you mouse hover over the officer, and crop it to a 128x128 pixels image size. Upload it (click on left upload file). Make sure to name it appropriately so that the officer template will pick it up.
*Note all images used for the LotS wiki are prefixed with LotS_  - For this example, an appropriate name would be '''LotS_Loq and Quax.png'''


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.

In this case it was automatically named:

Tutorial on adding a new Officer item page to the Zoywiki - Legacy of a Thousand Suns Wiki, and having it use the appropriate templates.

  • This wiki uses a number of templates to give a similar layout for all of the Item/Officer/Ship pages and requires that certain fields and info are provided, this saves a lot of time and only requires minimal data entry to complete a page.

(note that crew procedure is similar, I will create a guide page for all of the variables at a future time once I have the format set - Lorak990 (talk))

1) Upload the image of the officer. Take a screenshot of the larger image that pops up when you mouse hover over the officer, and crop it to a 128x128 pixels image size. Upload it (click on left upload file). Make sure to name it appropriately so that the officer template will pick it up.

  • Note all images used for the LotS wiki are prefixed with LotS_ - For this example, an appropriate name would be LotS_Loq and Quax.png

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 will be a number of errors in red for that newly created officer spot on the officer list 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 editor for the new officer. In this case it was automatically named:

4) Its best to copy/paste the wiki entry from an existing officer, and then edit it appropriately. 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.

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.

5) Edit everything that needs to be changed. For our example we would need to edit the 2nd line to read:

|name=Loq and Quax

and after making all of the changes you would have the following layout for Loq and Quax
