Profile Making

[Reppuzan]

A disproportionate number of new users are not doing this, so I'd just like to give you all a heads up. You do not need to put brackets around the necessary stats as per the standard format yourself. All you have to do is left-click on the Contribute button, then click on the Add a Page button and click on the middle button of the three options that appear under the window that pops up. That button is called Standard Format and will do most of the work for you. After that, all you have to do is add pictures, bold the necessary stats, and put brackets around each ability.

Im not sure if I did this or not because I just made a profile for the first time a little while ago. If I did something wrong then im sorry.

 

[Reppuzan]

It's not like you're breaking any rules, it's just that formatting is necessary and I'm trying to save you guys (and myself) unnecessary work.

 

[Antvasima]

I have mentioned this in the Standard Format for Character Profiles page, but perhaps we should mention it in the Editing Rules page as well?

 

[Antvasima]

I have now done so: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/index.php?title=Editing_Rules&diff=824207&oldid=793861

 

[Cropfist]

There's an issue whenever I use Standard Format button, the

Tier:

Name:

are grouped closely together and don't space properly, appearing as

Tier: Name:

 

[Antvasima]

Hmm. You can mention this to A6colute. He was the one who wrote the standard format code, so he should be able to adjust it.

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

Whenever I click, "Add a page", it takes me straight to this. It doesn't give me the option to select "Standard format".

 

[Reppuzan]

@ArbitraryNumbers

Are you left-clicking it, or right clicking it? It only works if you left click it from the drop-down menu.

 

[HalfAsianFan]

I have the same result as Arbirtary and am left-clicking it from the drop-down menu. What is it meant to look like?

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

I'm left clicking it.

 

[Antvasima]

Like this:

 

[Cropfist]

I asked A6colute.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay.

 

[Super_Ascended_Sean_Pazdera]

I just Copy/Paste.

 

[Reppuzan]

@Super Ascended Sean Pazdera

Not to be rude, but you also missed a lot of important formatting in the process.

 

[Super_Ascended_Sean_Pazdera]

What did I miss? I've created multiple profiles, and the things I've been doing up to now haven't been mentioned to me.

 

[Reppuzan]

For instance:

On several of your profiles you forget to put the proper text markup for things like Attack Potency, Speed, and Range.

As a result, they looked like this:

Attack Potency

Instead of this:

Attack Potency:

This was prevalent on Kokatorimon's profile.

I ended up going back and fixing it myself, but please remember to do so next time.

 

[Super_Ascended_Sean_Pazdera]

Oh. I was never told to do that before my Composite Impa profile.

 

[Reppuzan]

Well, it's part of the Standard Format page so...

 

[ProfessorKukui4Life]

We do that via external links right?

 

[Reppuzan]

@Anime4Life

No. You would do so via the internal link markup, which would something like this in the Source Editor:

'''[[Placeholder]]:'''

 

[ProfessorKukui4Life]

kk but just to be sure can u post a pic of it, if u can?

 

[Reppuzan]

This picture shows pretty much all of the basic markups for character profiles. Just remember to bold all of the necessary stats.

 

[Lina_Shields]

From that picture, just bold the stats starting from "Attack Potency" all the way up to "Durability". Everything else you can just leave it as it is.

Do note that you must bold the names of attacks in the "Notable Attacks/Techniques" section however.

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

Where do I find the contribute thing?

 

[Antvasima]

Fandom has changed its layout. If you click the image of a sheet of paper in the upper right part of the screen, you should get the standard format as an option.

 

[ArbitraryNumbers]

I got this instead. Is this exclusive to specific computer types, or is it an issue with updating my browser?

 

[Antvasima]

I do not know. Here is the image that I get:


Perhaps you can ask at the Community Central forums for advice?

 

[Antvasima]

Here is the sheet of paper image that I was referring to:

 

[Fllflourine]

I just discovered this today. Thanks; making profiles should take a lot less time now.

 

[MasterOfArda]

@arbitrarynumbers

I have the same problem.
