User:Scion Of Erixalimar/How To Use My Templates

I have some experience writing wiki code, and wrote the templates for the tabbed character sheet on my user page. My templates are based on works by User:Xelnaga, User:Lensor, User:Fusa, and probably more that I've forgotten. Their works are also based on others, and I'm not likely to track them all back, so I'll stop there.

In order to use them on your own page, you need to copy the following pages into your userspace:

• User:Scion Of Erixalimar/Total Play Time
• User:Scion Of Erixalimar/Template/Navigation Bar
• User:Scion Of Erixalimar/Template/Navigation Bar 1
• User:Scion Of Erixalimar/Template/Navigation Bar 2
• User:Scion Of Erixalimar/Top
• User:Scion Of Erixalimar/Top Text

Simply replace User:Scion Of Erixalimar with User:<YourUserID>.

Please be sure from here on out that you are editing YOUR copy of the pages, not editing my pages directly!

The page /Total Play Time should contain a number, with no commas, representing the total number of hours you have played on your account.

The /Top page is the text that will be included above each character sheet. It simply merges /Top_Text and /Template/Navigation_Bar. Edit it to point at your Top_Text and your Navigation_Bar.

The /Top_Text is the actual text above every page.

The Navigation Bars are the tricky part. The first thing to do is to replace my character names with yours (again, in your copy, please) and point the links to your pages. Don't change the {{User:Scion Of Erixalimar/Navigation Bar Style}} include, though, as you didn't copy that (or copy it and change it to your heart's content). The second thing to do is to walk across the line at the top of the bar that defines the color, and make the colors appropriate for your characters' classes. Lastly, change the profession passed into each Style to the profession of your toon (it's near the code that looks like ->{{#ifeq:{{{this}}}|7|1|0}}|R| ...<- you want to change the bold R to your profession.

Then play with the spacing. It's finicky, and not straightforward (which is why it's not generalized as a template).

Finally, on each page, paste the following and edit to your heart's content ;-)
