After several weeks of development, the new wiki is up and ready for pages to be made on it. You may be wondering, 'but didn't a new wiki just come out!?' and you'd be correct, however this wiki is more advanced and has a WoWpedia look to it due to the add-ons we've included. We hope this new wiki will serve Freedom better than the more simpler wikis we've had in the past as we have much more control over it.
As far as we can see, most of the bugs have been dealt with and it should be running fine, but if you encounter any post it here or let someone in staff know. The wiki is subject to change of course as it's only just been made but we're unlikely to move wikis again.
<COLOR color="#FFFFFF"><s></s>New Wiki URL: [url="http://wiki.wowfreedom-rp.com/wiki/Main_Page"><s></s>http://wiki.wowfreedom-rp.com/wiki/Main_Page
I will be updating the main page every week to include new characters and Featured Articles of the Week. Want to get your character on the front page? Make a nice wiki profile that others can read. For now I will do it every week and will continue doing so unless we haven't got many pages and if that's the case I'll do it every fortnight instead.
But how does one <I><s></s>really <e></e></I>use a wiki? Never used a wiki before and having problems making one? Well, we have a few people on the server that can help you and I will be making a tutorial soon to cover everything. However for the mean time here's a FAQ:
1. How do I make a page?
Search for the name of the page you want to make on the top right search bar. Once it sees that the page doesn't exist, it will give you the the option to make one below.
2. How do I add myself to the main page?
You don't, a wiki admin will do that. You can add your character or guild to a catagory by putting [[Category:Alliance]], [[Category:Horde]] or [[Category:Neutral]] on your page somewhere (preferably the top). This will make it easier for us to see who needs to be added on the main page. There will be a limit of those on the front page depending on how many pages are made, which will be given to those with the best pages.
3. Who are the admins of the wiki?
Currently they are Azeroc, Crow, Pepper and Shelby.
4. Will my wiki page still work if I copy it over from the old wiki?
Yes, but you will have to reupload any images (call them the same name and it'll update on your page automatically). The infobox code is different so you will have to change that. Look below for infobox codes.
5. What is an infobox and how do I add one on my page?
An infobox is a box on the right side of your page which gives brief details about the character. They can be as long or as short as you want them to be and are relatively easy to put in after you know how. Have a look at [url="http://wiki.wowfreedom-rp.com/wiki/Durkon_Greyhammer"><s></s>Durkon Greyhammer's or [url="http://wiki.wowfreedom-rp.com/wiki/Garrow_Goldenbrew"><s></s>Garrow Goldenbrew's page for examples of uses of an infobox.
Here are codes you can use and edit to put an infobox on your page. It'd recommended to do this at the very top of your page so it doesn't mess with your text.
