How to for SH Wiki
1. Do I need an account to edit the Wiki?
Yes, you do; However since anyone can edit a wiki page we're giving you the information to log in to the account we created for the wiki. We're giving you this information the understanding that you will not delete, edit or inappropriately alter any page with this account or any other you use. It takes a lot of hard work for a project like this so use it in the right way.

2. How do I edit a page that's a red link?
First you must create a page. For all taken characters your page is already in a red link, simply click on the link and it will take you directly to the editing page. At first it is in a rich text type format of editing; unless you already know how to edit in this format, it's suggested that you edit it in the older format.
To do that take your mouse to the top right hand side of the page and click on the button with a small black DOS type box on it. When you hover over it, it should say View Wikitext. You can use that button to switch back and forth between text editing and rich text. On the page you are able to preview and save your page. Save often, save is your friend.
3. How do I have bold, italic text?
Unlike LJ where you use < b > and < i >, you do it a completely different way.
For italic text: ''italic''
For bold text: '''bold'''
For bold italic text: '''''bold italic'''''
4. How do I make headings?
To make a heading for a page it is you're going to make use of ( = ).
Top Heading: ==First==
Second Heading: ===Second===
Third Heading: ====Third====
Fourth Heading: =====Fourth=====
Once you have three Headings on a page, it will automatically make a Table of Contents (TOC). That means it makes the box that shows things like
1. Personality
2. Background
3. Relationships
3.1 Mom
3.2 Dad
3.3 Brother
4. Death
So to get what I just put in, you would type the following:
==Personality==
==Background==
==Relationships==
===Mom===
===Dad===
===Brother===
==Death==
5. Can I have a TOC with less than three headings?
You sure can! You can also change which side you want to place it on the page.
To make a TOC with less than three headings you type is __TOC__ Make sure it is two underscores.
To align it on the right instead of the left you would go
{| style="margin-right: auto;"
|__TOC__
|}
==Personality==
==Background==
==Relationships==
===Mom===
===Dad===
===Brother===
==Death==
6. How do I do indents?
To make an indent in a page you use : .
:One indent.
::Two indents.
Every time you press enter to make a new line your indents go back to default, meaning it's aligned completely to the left.
7. How do I make a list?
You probably won't need to make lists but I'll show you anyways.
For a bullet list you use * .
*Item
*Item
**Sub item
**Sub item
*item
For a numbered list you use # .
#Item
#Item
##Sub item
##Sub item
#Item
Number lists work like indenting, the more you put reflects on a sub list.
8. Okay so now that I know those basics, how do I make a link?
There are different types of links, a link to a page in the SH wiki or a website.
For a link within the wiki you go [[link]].
To link to your LJ page you can go a few ways.
http://www.livejournal.com (Shows up exactly as is.)
[http://www.livejournal.com] (Shows up as [1].)
[http://www.livejournal.com an external site] (Shows up as An external site.)
Another type of link is a redirect link. These are for when You don't want two articles about the same thing. An example is that there is no need for a page each when it comes to Akigindto. While there are three persons in one body, they only need one page.
So you would type in the following:
#redirect [[Akito/Agito/Lind Wanijima]]
This will not work if there is anything else before the redirect, anything after is ignored. For more information please read this page.
9. Can I make tables?
You sure can, but it is not the same as what you would use on LJ.
{| starts a table
|- starts a new row
| starts a new cell
|} ends a table
{|border="1"
|Row 1
|Row 1
|Row 1
|-
|Row 2
|Row 2
|Row 2
|}
Row 1Row 1Row 1
Row 2Row 2Row 2
10. How do I add images?
It's easier if you just read this and this.
Note: When inserting an image, you must remove the brackets around the filename so it looks like image = File:filename.png rather than image = [[File:filename.png]] or else it'll just give you an error that puts "250px" in the info box.
11. I want a fancy side bar thing like on real wiki with character information on it!
{{Infobox
|Box title = Name Here
|image = See Question 10.
|caption = Put a Quote here
|Row 1 title = House
|Row 1 info = Hufflepuff
|Row 2 title = Year
|Row 2 info = Fifth
|Row 3 title = Gender
|Row 3 info = Male
|Row 4 title = Family
|Row 4 info = Names Here
}}
12. Can you just give us a code and we fill in the blanks?
