RPGMMWiki! + Site Update

Ixzion · **Posted:** September 20th, 2006, 10:38 pm

We're always trying to hit the RPGM community with the hot fire, so here's something I hope everyone gets behind: RPGMMWiki! It's a wiki for the use of the entire console RPG Maker community. Anyone is free to use it, and since it runs on the same software Wikipedia uses, it's easy to use, as well!

<a href="http://www.rpgmmag.com/wiki">Click to enter RPGMMWiki.</a>

Excited as you are, don't forget the rest of the update:
<ul type="square"><li><font class="textv"><b>[New Games]</b>
<li>Schtick Phigurez (RM; full) - Rhen2002
<li>Watch Grass Grow (RM; full) - Rhen2002
</ul><ul type="square"><li><b>[New Reviews]</b>
<li>Untraditional! - Idedjema</ul><ul type="square"><li><b>[New Resources]</b>
<li>3rd-Gen Active Custom Battle System Guide - Brock Nash</ul></font></ul>So there's the update. What do you think about it?

God, you finally post an update, and the Untraditional review still isn't up. I'm convinced you hate me.

J/K, that's a cool wiki, and I can wait.

*hiss*

Ixzion · **Posted:** September 20th, 2006, 10:56 pm

I don't hate you. I just forgot. I'll go and grab it and post it tonight.

Edit: Done.

Agentsix · **Posted:** September 20th, 2006, 11:03 pm

Thats a nice little update. I think the newbies will love it.

Hey Ixzion, how the hell do I change my games page from "Game Template"?

Not a Wiki expert.

Zombisem · **Posted:** September 21st, 2006, 4:25 am

Sweet Wiki ^__^
other than that I really have no valid input here >___>

Not a Wiki expert.

It's explained under the "Getting Started" section on the Main Page of the Wik:

Quote:

# Game Template - Use this template to create game pages for yourself. To start a new page, search for the page using the exact name you want the new page to have, then start the page! You can use this same template for other articles, if you wish.

Edit: Yikes. I see you edited the Game Template page instead of creating your new page first, and then copy/pasting the Game Template code into the new page.

I fixed it, though, and made sure to clarify, as it did seem pretty ambiguous. Thanks for the catch.

Hey Ix... I like the wiki. I nice touch... I hope people find this a good resource...

Might I suggest everyone add their games to it... that way whenever anyone is looking for a specific title, all they have to do is just type it in the search bar.

Go on, DO IT!

Ixzion · **Posted:** September 21st, 2006, 3:12 pm

If you notice, too, I've also added portions of the Magonian Encyclopedia to it.

Search for "Magonian Kombat" or "Maganacana". It's there.

Thanks for the compliments, peeps. Keep them coming.

Should I go ahead and make pages for me and my games, or what?

ErikaFuzzbottom · **Posted:** September 21st, 2006, 7:04 pm

I'm gonna have to put up my two games, sometime.

myoky · **Posted:** September 21st, 2006, 7:17 pm

I'm debating whether to add my game to the list now, or wait till I create more stuff for it... (I'm still on hiatus

)

Lantis · **Posted:** September 21st, 2006, 7:47 pm

Yeah, go for it guys... I've already put one up.

Idedjema · **Posted:** September 21st, 2006, 9:07 pm

Just made the Untraditional page.

Lantis · **Posted:** September 22nd, 2006, 11:29 am

To better get people to use wiki, I thoguht I'd post how the layout should be.

Yes, there is one at wiki... but if you go to View then Scorce, you will have to cut out a freaking crap load of wiki generated html. I've been playing with it and have just what you need to put... Hope this helps:

Note: anything withing () is data you need to fill. delete the ()'s

<table align="right" style="clear: both; font-size: 9pt; text-align: center; color: white; margin: 0 0 1em 1em;">
<tr>
<th bgcolor="#000000"> (Name of your game)
</th></tr>
<tr>
<td style="font-size: 95%; color: black; text-align: left;">

</td></tr></table>
<p><b>(This is the title over the first paragraph about your game)</b>
</p>

(This field is for the general information about your game... please remember your p tags)

(here is where you get creative: Wiki has a Table of contents -toc- table. This table it generated by wiki. If you aren't familiar with how this works, you can just delete it)

I'm still messing with it myself... but this should get you everything you need.

Ixzion · **Posted:** September 22nd, 2006, 12:47 pm

Why do you to have to cut the wiki code?

Also, the main point of the wiki is for people to be able to add their information without the need for editing massive amounts of professional-styled code code.

I mean, it's easy for us, but not so for others.

Lantis · **Posted:** September 22nd, 2006, 12:49 pm

If you post the wiki code in you text field, you end up with alot of tags that get put up as text strings... lol, it looks awful.

Ixzion · **Posted:** September 22nd, 2006, 1:01 pm

Are you sure? I've tested it while logged out, and it worked like it was supposed to for me.

Can you try another browser?

Lantis · **Posted:** September 22nd, 2006, 1:03 pm

actually, I'm at work and they use IE here...

So it may very well be my bad.

The soonest I can look at it under opera will be when I get home around 6.

But yeah, if it works... just disreguard what I said. my bad.

Ixzion · **Posted:** September 22nd, 2006, 1:09 pm

I've also tested it in IE, and it works fine, too.

OH, I know what you did. Instead of going to the "View Source" tab on the wiki, you right-clicked and went into the actual "View Source" that the browser uses.
