This wiki helps users learn more about Fancade and its game-making tools. Pages are written by Fancade users themselves. Maybe you want to help improve the wiki too?
Rules
Yes? You'd like to contribute? Great! Here's some advice to help you get started editing.
Write about Fancade
The wiki is about Fancade, so stay on topic.
Create an appropriate page
Before creating a brand new wiki page, check if:
- The page already exists, just with a slightly different name?
- The info doesn't fit better as a note on an existing page?
- The page is likely to be useful to other Fancade users?
For certain categories of articles, their notability guidelines are listed below.
Games
In general, articles for games should be created if at least one of criteria is met:
- They are in the list of featured games
- Is on a series and at least one of the games in the series is featured (c)
- Contains technical details (Extreme Painist)
Scripts
Articles under Category:Scripting should be created mostly when:
- It is useful for future readers
- It contains details necessary to build the script (How to make hexagons)
- The article is long enough to warrant its own article
- If it is short, consider putting it on the necessary block.
Refrain from creating articles ending with questions.
Don't save unfinished edits
If you're not done yet, but you can't continue working right now, you can always quit the browser and get back to editing later (the wiki will remember the state of the page and will prompt you to recover it when you begin editing again).
Don't leave unanswered questions
If you're not sure about something, don't ask future editors to correct you in the page:
- NG: Constraints are very difficult to learn. (Maybe it's just me?)
Those who can answer your question will rarely visit the page, so you will end up throwing your question at readers'. Feel free to join our Discord server and ask your question there, in order to eventually provide the most accurate information to readers!
How-to
Want to help but have no idea how it's done? Read below to learn how to format text and create new pages.
Create a page
Type a page name. If it does not exist, the Wiki will indicate creation of the article. Click the link to proceed. Now, write the contents of the page. Then, categorize the page accordingly. (If you don't know much categories yet, you may leave it.)
Now you can write a Wiki page! After you have written it all, click "Show preview" to make sure everything looks correct.
Style a page
The wiki supports the powerful MediaWiki syntax. Please consult Wiki:Manual of Style for proper formatting of pages.
Basics
Emphasis
Emphasize text by surrounding text with ''double'' (italics) or '''triple''' (bold) single quotation marks.
Add link
To insert a link, you can:
| Wrap page name in double square brackets | [[Number]] | Number |
| Wrap page name in double square brackets and put a suffix | [[Number]]s | Numbers |
| Wrap page name in double square brackets and set displayed text | [[Number|One]] | One |
| Wrap URL in single square brackets | [https://fancade.com/] | [1] |
| Wrap URL in single square brackets and set displayed text | [https://fancade.com/ Fancade] | Fancade |
Make list
To insert a list element, put *, + or - at the beginning of a line. For example,
* Fancade * is the fanmade * arcade
will be
- Fancade
- is the fanmade
- arcade
Add file
To add a file, click "Upload file" found on the right sidebar.
Files are located in another namespace. To insert an existing file, click the image icon located at the bar above the editor. A new window should pop up and guide you. Prefer frameless images. Finally, it should appear as follow:
[[File:Odd Bot.png|frameless|400px]]
For complete details, visit mw:Help:Images.
Delete a page
Request a page to be deleted using Template:Delete, e.g.
{{delete|Spam}}
Revert a change
Go to the page's history (through link in the latest changes), check the commit, compare and revert.
Rename a page
Click Rename, and enter the new page name.
