User:Falzar FZ/Tips and Guides


 * I made similar pages that I refer to, but I thought it'd be good to share some of it. So I modified some of the pages and here's a few of them. I might do more, depending on the response I get.


 * If there are any suggestions or comments, feel free to leave them on the Talk Page.

Semantic Search Basics

 * Here is a list of sample values which can be used in this Wikia's Semantic Search page.
 * Just copy the "Sample Value(s)" that you want into the box on the page.
 * You can use multiples are once. This means "and".

Semantic Search Tables

 * Another use for those Values is to use them is a Search Box
 * Here's an example. This is the simpler version that supposed to be using on the "Card Tips" pages.
 * Feel free to use this as a template for the tables for the "Card Tips" pages.


 * That will give you this:


 * Here's another Example:
 * This one is more compicated, and it isn't needed for regular lists.


 * That will give you this:


 * The "DynamicNavigationBox" is just to make it have a "Show/Hide" effect.
 * The " |sort=ATK |order=descending " does what they say they do, so I doubt I need to explain that.


 * Other comments on the Semantic Search Tables:
 * It is possible to 'overload' these tables by adding too many Queries, so try to refrain from doing that. (Unless you know about the [Yu-Gi-Oh!:Community_Portal#Semantic_MediaWiki_nerf 'Concepts'])

= Making Your Userpage Look Nice =

Introduction

 * To prevent annoying other members (well, the ones why use the 'Recent Changes' page a lot), it is recommended to use the 'Preview' Button before Saving your page.
 * This button can be found next to the 'Save page' button, and surprisingly, quite a lot of people don't see it.


 * That being said, almost everything you need to know for doing this can be found Here.

Other Tips

 * Stuff that weren't in the above link will be added here.

Displaying Images Without Uploading to Wikia

 * As most of us should know, if we upload an image that isn't useful on the Main Pages of the Wikia, it will be deleted.
 * If you want to use an image, there is a way to do so, without uploading it to this Wikia.
 * This can be done quite easily.


 * 1) Upload your image to an image hosting site which is on the External image whitelist
 * I recommend using Photobucket.


 * 2) Copy the 'Direct Link' of your newly uploaded image.


 * 3) Paste this link on where you want the image to be.
 * You do not need to add any tags. The raw link is enough to display the image.


 * For example:
 * http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu5/Falzar_FZ/Yu-Gi-Oh%20Wikia/SampleImage.png


 * Will give you this:
 * http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu5/Falzar_FZ/Yu-Gi-Oh%20Wikia/SampleImage.png

Decklists

 * A good template to use can be found here.
 * The page also explains how to use it.

Simple Page Border

 * To add a simple page border, add this to the top of the page:


 * This is editable of course. Here's what you can edit:


 * The border-width and border-color are straight forward.
 * The bigger the border-width, the thicker the border.
 * Regular border-colors can be found here.

Other Things You Can Add

 * Other things you can add can be found in the templates section on this Wikia.
