User:42/PageLayout

The following links were used, and are listed here for reference for future use of the editor of this page, and anyone interested in my sources. The use of this layout makes extensive use of the transclusion feature available on the wiki. In a nutshell, transclusion is the adding of content to a page from another page. For more information on transclusion, see the link provided. The creation of subpages containing this content will be required. The specific pages and content are left up to the user/designer.

This layout design is adapted heavily from Linsey Murdock's user page design. I have changed the user name in the examples for reference purposes, and changed some basic design elements and content for the purpose of this guide. Please feel free to adjust the design when you use it to suit your own personality, purposes, and needs. All I ask is that you give Linsey credit for the original design layout on your effort. Any help I have been able to give is largely due to using her page layout design.

The following text is copied from the wiki page tabs tabs.

In the above example, the last item makes the default white tab page the first example if you don't change it. So if you don't put 'This=' on the page, the first tab would be white regardless of which page they were looking at. The first item suppresses the table of contents.

Now, you'd save that page, lets say it was called User_Example:Tabs and then, go to each page, starting with User_Example:First Page and put a macro call at the top of that page, in the form on that page, and use the same thing but use This=2 instead of This=1 on "Second Page", and so on for This=3, etc. You can have up to 9 pages using this macro.

The following user subpages will need to be created to follow this example. The text needed on each particular page is also listed. Feel free to adjust any information subpages included and text to suit yourself.


 * Tabs
 * Purpose - To give a layout design consistency to any tabs used on your page.

Usage: 1 to 9 parameters, for each tab to put on the page. After the last item, whichever parameter is the current page is indicated by This= and the tab number to mark as the current tab, from 1 to 9. This=1 or This=5 etc.

| style="border-bottom:1px solid #A3B1BF" width="3000" |
 * TabsBottom
 * Purpose - Formatting in style and color for the bottoms of the tabs in use on your specific design.
 * }

Usage
To create a set of tabs, use these four elements. Keep the page tabs in the same order on all pages and use "Tab1" for the current page.

This page is used to make the tabs consistent on all pages.
 * TabHeader

To use this page, set This=n where n is the tab number of the page that calls this macro, e.g This=5 or This=8

This page's content was lovingly adapted from the lovely Wikipedia editing guide.


 * TabsTop
 * Purpose - Formatting in style and color for the tops of the tabs in use on your specific design.

{|style="background:#FFF; text-align:center; line-height:1px;" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" |

Usage
To create a set of tabs, use these four elements. Keep the page tabs in the same order on all pages and use "Tab1" for the current page.

All following text/design taken from Linsey Murdock's user page.



 About me + Born and raised in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, I dropped everything to move west in June of 2005 seeking fame and fortune in the game industry...well not so much fame and fortune, but more like a job that I could be actually passionate about. Best thing I've ever done.

My hovercraft is full of eels.

I am a Spearwoman. 치 The Spearmen 치 [치치치치]
 * Thank you for the offers, but I am not accepting any guild invites. I've been in The Spearmen for a long time and I'm quite content there. Besides, I have to be in an ineligible guild.

 Contacting me +

You can add me in game as Linsey Murdock, I always keep a character with that name although you'll find me on my main most of the time (Leitha Ambrai). Unless I'm super busy, I'm usually up for chatting a bit so don't be afraid to say "hi!". I promise I won't bite, but I do have a couple little rules...
 * While I do encourage you to notify me of emergency bugs right after a major build, I would much prefer you post most bugs on Mike Z's various bug reporting pages. This way our QA department can get the bug into our system and it will have a much higher chance of getting fixed than expecting me to remember a pm from in-game.
 * Once you have reported a bug, there is no need to remind me whenever we chat that it has not been fixed yet. We'll get to it if/when we have time.
 * Any support issues should be directed to the appropriate page on the Guild Wars site or Gaile's talk. I can't help you with that stuff.
 * All community type questions should be directed to Regina's talk.
 * No I can't generate fat lootz for you, so don't bother asking.
 * Often times when I log in during the day it is to check in on something that I am working on or do a bit of research, so please don't be offended if I'm not super responsive or chatty. Most likely, I'm trying to get some things done and it's not because I'm mad at you. Oh and I often get randomly pulled away from my computer pretty frequently so if I am just afk, likely it's because of some kind of meeting.

 My Work +

My official title is Game Designer but I am the Guild Wars Live Team Lead. What does that mean? It means that I oversee any changes made to Guild Wars Live and do any and all design work needed for Live. Before taking on this role, I was working on GW2 design and before that I worked on quests and explorables for Guild Wars.

Here are some examples of my quests:

These are the explorables I wholely designed and spawned: Drakkar Lake, Varajar Fells, Sacnoth Valley and Arbor Bay

Other stuff I worked on: Balance in the Norn Fighting Tournament Vael and his random behavior The Black Moa Chick scavenger hunt Henchmen Scenes in outposts The initial initial design for Frostmaw's Burrows and Cathedral of Flame Perfect Salvage Kits Oggy the Small-eared Asura
