| − | In order to make a page, you will need to be logged in with your forum ID and password. |

| + | [http://tenebraemush.net/index.php?title=Recent_Logs&action=edit§ion=1 Add your log to the bottom]. |
||
| − | ==Step Two: Make a Link to the Page== |
||
| − | |||
| − | To post a log, you will first make a link to the page. This is the way wikis work--it prevents "lost" or unlinked pages. What this means is that the first thing we will do is make a link on [[Recent Logs]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | # If you are logged in, you will see an '''edit''' button on [[Recent Logs]]. Click on the '''edit''' button. You can click the '''edit''' button at the top. Doing so will take you to the wiki page editor. |
||
| − | # Once there, scroll to the bottom of the list, then type in a name for your log, like this: [[<nowiki>Sandy's Childbirthing Hips</nowiki>]]. Be sure to type the brackets! If you're posting a PrP, prepend the log name with PrP. For example: [[<nowiki>PRP: Sandy's Childbirthing Hips</nowiki>]]. |
||
| − | # Now, save and exit the editor. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Step Three: Create the Page== |
||
| − | |||
| − | Now [[Recent Logs]] will have your log's name in it as a red link. |
||
| − | |||
| − | :1. Click on that red ink. This creates the page for your log. |
||
| − | :2. Edit! Paste the log into the editor. Some things to watch out for: |
||
| − | |||
| − | :* ''Spaces at the beginning of a pose.'' The wiki thinks this means the pose is a line of code. |
||
| − | :* ''Preformatted text.'' Put <nowiki><pre></nowiki> at the beginning of the preformatted text block, and <nowiki></pre></nowiki> at the end of it. |
||
| − | :* ''New Paragraphs.'' Use a double return (hit return on your keyboard twice) to start a new paragraph. |
||
| − | |||
| − | :3. Before exiting the editor, be sure and add it to the Logs category using the dropdown menu at the bottom of your page. This keeps the page editable. If you forget, don't worry too much--just page staff, and we'll fix it. |
