Attachments
With very few exceptions, we want attachments to be on the same page as their parent unit because it doesn't help anybody to have them in different places. But this means the page setup is slightly more complex due to the way the abilities auto-categorise the page. The thing is, if an attachment has different abilities to the parent unit, we want just the attachment to be in that category, not the parent unit as well.
Step 1: Suppress the auto-categorisation
When you add the attachment's abilities to the page, you need to suppress the auto-categorisation to stop the parent unit being "tagged" with the ability. The way to do this is:
- {{Ability|Hide_Cat=<!---YES--->}}
- For example, : {{Undead|Hide_Cat=<!---YES--->}} would add the text description of Undead to a page, but not add the page to Category:Undead.
Step 2: Create a "dummy" page for the attachment
"Dummy" pages should follow the naming scheme PARENT UNIT:ATTACHMENT NAME (TYPE). For example, Holy Zealots:Monolith Bearer (CA)
- Open a new tab in your browser, and navigate to the page http://battlecollege.org/index.php/PARENT UNIT:ATTACHMENT NAME (TYPE)
Step 3: Populate the dummy page
- Set this page up as a redirect to the parent unit.
- Add the attachment's abilities to the appropriate category.
- For example:
#redirect [[Holy Zealots]] [[Category:Officer]] [[Category:Command Attachment]] [[Category:Minifeat]] [[Category:Greater Destiny]] [[Category:Holy Monolith]] [[Category:Sacrificial Pawn]]
Troubleshooting
How do I change the image?
- At the top of the page, under Tools, you want to use the Upload a File feature.
- In the page you're creating, near the top, you want to find the part that says |rowspan=99|[[File:No image available.png|200px]] and change it to your file name.
- For instance, if you've uploaded an image called "BurritoCannon_Web300.jpg" then you'll need to change the page to say
|rowspan=99|[[File:BurritoCannon_Web300.jpg|200px]]
- For instance, if you've uploaded an image called "BurritoCannon_Web300.jpg" then you'll need to change the page to say
What should I put in the statblock?
- See Guidance on Writing a Model Analysis to see what sort of descriptions can be used in Statblocks
I can't figure out how to edit the statblock layout
This is best shown by example:
- If you want a better explanation of how to edit tables, refer to the main wikipedia article
What you want to do | Code before your edit | Code after your edit |
---|---|---|
You want to add "Magic Ability" between "RAT" and "DEF" | | '''RAT''' || ccc |- | '''DEF''' || ddd |
| '''RAT''' || ccc |- | '''Magic Ability''' || eee |- | '''DEF''' || ddd |
You want to delete "RAT" because the model has no guns. | | '''MAT''' || ccc |- | '''RAT''' || eee |- | '''DEF''' || ddd |
| '''MAT''' || ccc |- | '''DEF''' || ddd |
I can't get my ability template(s) to display correctly
Error | Example | Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|---|
The ability appears as red text | Template:Example Ability | You made a typo. For example
|
Fix the typo |
Incorrect capitalisation. For example
|
Fix the capitalisation. | ||
The template doesn't exist (yet) | You'll have to create it yourself. Refer to Setting up a new ability/spell/etc page | ||
The ability has strange {{{1}}} and/or {{{2}}} all the way through it. | Leadership [ {{{1}}} ] - Friendly {{{2}}} models in this model's command range gain {{{3}}}. | This template requires you to give it inputs, and you have given it none, so it's displaying the defaults instead. | The inputs that are required change from template-to-template. The best solution is to go to it (in this case, you would go to Leadership) and there will be an explanation there. |
What should I put in the "Thoughts on Model" section?
- See Guidance on Writing a Model Analysis to see what sort of content is supposed to go under each header.
