Guide

I am assuming you understand how to basically use a wiki including all the things in this handy guide we have created at TWC. Click here for the Guide.

Now, I know this is confusing so this is why I'm adding this little guide to using this template here. The easiest way to do this is substitute the relevant details for my details below and then copy and paste the coding into the top of the article. You must put an entry in for all fields, just missing out something will not remove it from the template. If you don't know what to put because you don't have a patron or any clients see below. Here is my coding:

{{member|name=Perikles|avatarimagelocation=periklesavatar.gif|mainrank=[[Moderator]]|ranks=[[Moderator]], [[Patrician]], [[Wiki Project Editor]]|patron=imb39|patronof=[[Goscinio]], [[Kara Kolyo]], [[burrek]], [[MarcusCorneliusMarcellus]], [[Candelarius]], [[Rammstein]] and [[RTR Fan]]}}

Which would appears in my profile like this: Perikles

Looks confusing right? But if you look closely it is just common sense. if I wanted to change my patron to Crandar I would just substitute 'imb39' in the coding for 'Crandar'. Simple. If you have any problems post in the thread in the Q&S on the forums or send a pm to any of the Wiki Staff.

Avatars

You need to upload the avatar using the 'upload file' link on the left hand side of the page. Then specify the name of the file in the 'avatarimagelocation=x' field. With x being the file name you gave when uploading, such as Crandaravatar.jpg. If they have no avatar then please just use No_image.png which just gives a blank question mark in place of the avatar.

Main Rank

The Main Rank is the primary rank that the member holds, usually the one they have as their primary title on the forum. This might be Moderator, Administrator, Content Staff, Local Moderator or one of Peregrinus, Citizen, Civitate or Artifex if they have that showing. Please not that this is for an official TWC rank only, not informal titles.

Other Ranks

The "Ranks" section is for a list of all the official ranks that a member holds. Using the example above there would be 3, but members can of course have more or less depending on what they do. Note that in addition to staff and ranks related to an award (i.e. Novus) only one of Peregrinus, Civitate, Artifex or Citizen should be recorded in this section. If in doubt record the one that seems to be the most suitable for that particular user.

Patrons/Patronage

If the member is an independent Civitate put: patron=Independent (or 'patron=House Founder' if they are the founder of a house). Otherwise just record the name of their patron.

If they haven't patronised anyone put: patronof= None

This information should also be recorded for an ex-citizen, but for a Peregrinus who has never held citizen rank the patron= and patronof= sections should be left as 'N/A'.
