Help:Author Template
Revision as of 22:29, 13 February 2006 by Romancewiki (talk | contribs)
While the content for every author page will be as diverse as those authors themselves, we've created a basic template to help you get started. Please modify this template needed to create the page you want to create. There are no rules!
Clicking on the buttons above the editing box creates most of the code you'll see in the template. Commonly used buttons in the "Ab" button -- this links to another page in the wiki (or creates a new page if it doesn't already exist) -- and the "globe" link, which creates an external link. The large "A" creates a new section header. Adding additional "=" to the section header creates subsections (see example of fiction and non-fiction books in the template below).
- To get started, copy and paste and paste the code below.
- Go to the main Authors page, select the first letter of the author's last name.
- Open the page by clicking the "edit" tab, create your author page by inserting the name into the list.
- Since there is a author listed for almost every letter of the alphabet, you can easily follow the syntax for author names.
- Save the page, click on your newly created author page, paste the code, and start editing!
General discussion about the author - honors, influences, special characteristics. == See Also == * [[PSEUDONYM]] - If an author writes under multiple names, list them here. == On the Web == * [http://www.authorswebsite.com AUTHOR NAME] - this is an author's main website * [http://www.otherwebsite.com OTHER SITE] -- such as a blog or special publisher pages == Books == === Fiction === * [[TITLE OF BOOK]] - Year published ([[PUBLISHER]]) === Non-Fiction === == Novellas == == Series/Related Titles == This is a great place to aggregate the various series and related titles.
