User:Caku/Caku's guide to good wiki markup
This guide applies to 80% of you niggers who think your page layout is good. It's not, you fucking suck at image placement and should become an hero because of it. But don't worry I'll make an Editor out of you. This is not a guide on how to write a page but a set of guide lines on how to not look like a massive retards in front of this sites rising tidal wave of faggots.
Section one: Headers
A header is a template or stylized text at the top of the page. In your case it's most likely {{stub}} or {{Why is There an Article}} This in most case should be 1 to 2 before starting the first paragraph anything more is overdoing it and you will be shot for insubordination if you break this rule. Other and more acceptable headers are quotes.
Acceptable header templates
They can be found here: Category:Notice Templates
If you want to make one use {{天}} or you will be shot for insubordination.
Section two:The Lead
The lead is the first few paragraphs of your page and is supposed to lead the reader into reading the rest of your crappy page. Leads can include a Powerword and some other shit you want to come across to the reader before he gets into the rest of the page. If you wish to place an image on the lead or an info box or maybe even and info box with a picture in it consider the following:
- Is the image too big?
- Is the info box stretching into the next five sections and breaking up the side of the page?
- Is the image/info box showing below the lead?
- Why the fuck would you ever think that floating an image to the left is a good idea, it's fucking not.
The right way
An image/info box should be placed above the lead in the markup language and resized so it does not extended beyond the lead text and especially not beyond the table of contends. In the rare case when the infobox fucking has to extend passed the lead and the table of contends you must put in these magic words after your lead.
__TOC__
{{clear}}
This makes sure your image/info box does not extend passed the lead section and pretty much dunks on 99% of all of the pages on this site.
The wrong way
Section three:Sections
What are sections? You might ask. A section is usually what follows a lead on a media wiki page. They are there to give your page some structure. A section is declared by typing in ==<Section name here>==. Every section is listed in the table of contents.
General rules apply to sections:
- Dont name a section with an entire paragraph.
- Dont place images on the bottom of a section.
- Dont place so many images on a single section so it extends passed it.
- Dont place am image before a centered object without putting a {{clear}}.
- Dont float an image to the left..... ever.
Section three: one???
This is a sub section and you can also make subsubsection or even subsubsubsections. This is done by adding one more equals sign ===Niggers===. An exception can be made to the general overextention of images when its comes to sub sections because people can keep track of all their images if they have scattered over multiple sub sections due to them being usually 1-2 paragraphs. Sub section are perfect if you want to include a lists within your page you might see such implication in the subsection above this one. Subsections are also useful to put videos in with the <youtube></youtube> tag just make sure you center it with <center></center>.
Section four: Videos
There are two ways to implement videos on a page the standard video in the center with some bold text below it, and video frames.
Standalone video
<center><youtube>Video here</youtube><br>'''Text here'''</center>
Video Frame
<center>
{{videoframe|Title|background-color: #FFFFFF;|font-weight: bold;
|<youtube>Video 1</youtube><br>'''Text Here'''
|<youtube>Video 2</youtube><br>'''Text Here'''
|<youtube>Video 3</youtube><br>'''Text Here'''
}}
</center>
Section five: Gallery
Galleries can be fixed or collapsible. If you wish to add more images than 5 i advice you make the gallery collapsible or you will be shot for insubordination.
