P.MysteryUniverse Wiki:The How-to Guide to This Wiki!

Whether you are a seasoned wikia user or a new user there are always things you can learn! This is meant to be a way for people to be able to edit this wikia in a way they want, but still keep it professional and looking the best that it can be.

However I am not the best at explaning about these kinds of matter though I will try my best. If you want to know mroe about everything that you can do to the wikia enterprise then i suggest going to their official website here.

Word Alterations
The first feature that will be added to this help page is the toolbox that you see when you first enter editing mode. From left to right this picture will be explained and what everything does. For these highlight the selected area and follow the instructions below.

Bold
The B that is seen there makes the words thicker and darker in color the example will be as follows;

Bold Makes the World go Round.

Bold Makes the World go Round.

Italic
The i that is the next seen there makes words thinner and slanted, the example will be as follows;

Italic makes good bread.

Italic makes good bread.

Linking
The link symbol that is directly to the right of the italic symbol links words to something else it can be as small as 1 word to something as large as a paragraph. When you open up the link manager the top section is where you are supposed to enter the link. To pages that are inside this wikia a simple title of the page is enough such as "Quests" if you want to link it to quests. However if you want to link it to something outside you need the full address.

The bottom section of the link manager is what the person will see, it can anything you want from the acual link to something else. When you link to something the words that are linking it will become a different color.

Broken links will also become a different color an example is;


 * Quests - Good Link
 * Questz - Bad Link

Bullets
The next 4 features that come with the editing belt are all about Bullets and editing bullets. The first one that looks like square blocks over each other are block bullets. The way you can make 2 or more bullets from some text that is already writen out is by pressing "Enter" between where you want the bullets. The examples for this is the following; Now by pressing enter (shown as "|") in these places there will be more bullets when you select to make bullets. There are many pokemon in pmu such as |Smeargle, |Bagon, |and Drifloon! which will exact to this;
 * There are many pokemon in pmu such as Smeargle, Bagon, and Drifloon!
 * There are many pokemon in pmu such as


 * Smeargle,


 * Bagon,

The next is what has 1, 2, 3 each underneth the other that is the same as the previous but makes numbers, with each increasing by 1 when you press "Enter".
 * and Drifloon!
 * 1) There are many pokemon in pmu such as


 * 1) Smeargle,


 * 1) Bagon,

The final 2 are used for indents they are not nesicarily used for bullets but are most commonly used for that purpose and example of the first indent (->) (highlighting only the Smeargle, Bagon, and Drifloon!) would be;
 * 1) and Drifloon!
 * There are many pokemon in pmu such as


 * Smeargle,


 * Bagon,

Using numbers would give it this;
 * and Drifloon!
 * 1) There are many pokemon in pmu such as


 * 1) Smeargle,


 * 1) Bagon,

The last one is used for reversing indents (<-) which would be like this (if only used on "and Drifloon!" after the previous edits).
 * 1) and Drifloon!
 * 1) There are many pokemon in pmu such as


 * 1) Smeargle,


 * 1) Bagon,


 * 1) and Drifloon!

Headings
The headings are the next and can be found in the middle of the toolbar usually saying "Normal tex' " when you click on this you will get a selection to choose from from normal text, to headings 2 through 5 and then Code / Preformatted. When used at the same time will will look something like thing this (on the Table or Content) With normal text being the text that you see in contents and  Code /  Preformatted being if you want to share some Coding with others.
 * 1) Heading 2
 * 2) Heading 3
 * 3) Heading 4
 * 4) Heading 5

Centering
After the headings there are 3 buttons that will be explained here. The first has lines to the left, while the next has lines at the middle and third having lines to the right.

-The first one makes the words that are here to be against the left side of the page.-

-The second makes everything be at the center.-

-The third one makes everything be at the right of the page.-

Undo/Redo
When editing a Wikia mistakes are made it you ever make a mistake that you cannot fix the next button is there for that reason. It looks like a sideways U with the ends facing to the left, this undoes anything that you did within a certain time. With the next being a Redo, and this putting back anything that you have Undone. In other words this is an undo of and undo.

More+
At the very right of the toolbar there is something called more with a + under it. When clicked this will give 3 more functions that are usable.
 * Underline
 * Strike-Through
 * Signature

Underline
Underline puts a line under what you have selected. An example is as follows; This is found under the B after you press "more".
 * Underlining makes me happy.
 * Underlining makes me happy.

Strikethrough
The Strikethrough appears when you press more and is under the i. This is somewhat similar to the underline however this is higher then the previous being in the middle. An example is;
 * Strikethrough makes me feel powerful.
 * Strikethrough makes me feel powerful.

Signature
With any great page or comment comes a need to show how made it the signature is mean to sayl This is often used is talk pages and is mandatory to be used, else it gets confusing. Another way of writing a signature instead of the button is 4 tildas (~)
 * Who wrote it
 * When it was written
 * A link to the profile

Inserting Medias
This next part of the editing is about using the side toolbox. This explaination will go from Top-Left to Bottom-Right.

Minor Edit
This is a single box that you are able to click. This put the edit that you have had into the minor edit category.

Preview
Using this you can see what the page will look like at its final stage. There is also the option of showing the changes.

Publish
This is the green button that will save the changes permenatly.


 * Note: When this happens it will only be possible to get the previous version back through admin help!

Media
In this there are 6 different ways to insert media such as photos and videos into the wikia.

Photo
The first way is the simplist the photo. When you select this you can choose to either upload a photo from your computer or to use a photo that is currently in the wikia system. There are 2 choices; If you select Thumbnail you will be able to reduce the size of the picture, however if you choose fullsize you wil not be able to adjust the size.
 * Thumbnail
 * Fullsize

You will then be able to choose whether you want to put the picture to the right of the page or the left of the page as well as a caption.
