Template:Character
This template was created by Loki@HM
This layout page is designed to ease the creation of lovely pages without the need for extensive knowledge of CSS3 or advanced HTML practices. For those who are perfectly pleased with grey, white, and black, it can be used exactly as is with no need for any customization at all.
Usage
First, get a page! Your character's page should be their first and last name, unless they don't have a last name, so at least figure out what their name is first. Then copy the following URL, and paste it in with your character's name after:
https://www.fromdusktilljawn.com/wiki/
An example would be:
https://www.fromdusktilljawn.com/wiki/June_Desrochers
On that page, hit Create in the upper-rightish corner. Once you've done that, copy the following onto your page:
[[Category:PC]][[Category:Active PC]]
{{Character
}}
{{Played by
| Character name =
| Model name =
| Sample =
}}
Then click on each of the red links and fill out the information in that section.
On the right side of this page you'll see a list of pages that are using this template. For help in filling out sections, you can go to one of those pages, click the "edit" link on one of the sections, and see what other people have filled out for that section. Just don't actually save changes on other people's pages! Don't sweat it too much if you do by accident, it can be fixed, but try not to :)
You can use the following template parameters to customize the colours and text on the page.
| full name = | played by = | page color = | page border = | cell color = | cell border = | cell text = | link color = | link hover color = | header color = | header border = | header text =
Layout
The following template parameters will change the layout and positioning of several elements on the page.
| page gradient = yes OR no (default: yes) | introduction = yes OR no (default: yes) | portrait = yes OR no (default: yes) | overview position = left, right, bottom, OR off (default: right) | stereotypes position = left, right, bottom, OR off (default: left) | contacts position = left, right, bottom, OR off (default: yes) | hooks position = left, right, bottom, OR off (default: right) | logs position = left, right, bottom, OR off (default: left) | gallery position = left, right, bottom, OR off (default: bottom) | disclaimer position = left, right, bottom, OR off (default: right)
Content
By default, the template uses subpages to store page content. You can choose to disable that per section by adding the following options to the page:
| introduction content = | stereotypes content = | contacts content = | hooks content = | gallery content = | disclaimer content = | portrait content = | overview content =
Advanced Styles
For the very advanced users, you can add your own styles and classes to the various segments (not recommended). These will be applied to the content cell for each section, not to the wrapping table and div.
| introduction class = | introduction style = | stereotypes class = | stereotypes style = | contacts class = | contacts style = | hooks class = | hooks style = | gallery class = | gallery style = | disclaimer class = | disclaimer style = | portrait class = | portrait style = | overview class = | overview style =
Custom Sections
Users also have the option of specifying a few custom sections. These sections are completely disabled by default, but can be placed wherever you need. You can have up to 5 custom sections, each numbered 1 through 5. Copy the following code for each custom section you want to have, and replace the pound (#) sign with the corresponding number 1 through 5.
| custom position # = left, right, bottom, OR off (default: off) | custom title # =
You can also specify the class and style as normal.
| custom class # = | custom style # =
And if you have content set to local:
| custom content # =
Logs
The Logs section uses DPL to pull in logs based on the full page name of the character page. Sometimes, character logs are not filed that way, or characters change their names. Use the following parameters to customize how the layout template pulls in logs:
| log names =
If you need to use more than one additional name, you can separate them using the ! template. For example:
| log names = Eleanor{{!}}Hani{{!}}Mikaela
