| − | This page focuses on contributors and editing of the site content. If you have other help, please [mailto:[email protected] email me]. You can also check out the old faq, but its mostly RPG related info, and doesn't apply much to this site at this time. [[RPG :Old_Faq|Old FAQ]] | + | ==Frequently Asked Questions== |
| | + | === Question: How do I join ?=== |
| | + | *Answer - Do not use the Login/Create account at the top of the screen. This is used solely for site administrators to manage the site and content. The site uses the Mediawiki system for this. Game Enrollment is available via the link on the left (Join USI-RPG) |
| | | | |
| − | First and Foremost, editing pages you need to be logged in.
| + | ===Question: I've Submitted My Application, however I have not yet been placed on a ship/list...=== |
| − | Second, to edit a page, you need to browse to it, and then click on the edit link at the top of the page. If you do not see an edit tab, then it means that its protected and you'll need to pester me for changes on that page.
| + | *Answer - We get a lot of applications where people do not make their first character edit. This is required as stated in the emails in order to be placed on a ship. This is USI-RPG. com's form of a double opt in, or sign up Verification. If you are serious about playing the game, be sure to edit your bio for the first time! If you have problems editing your Bio, contact [mailto:[email protected] me ] |
| | | | |
| − | Some pages, especially database-like pages such as Technology, Species, and Factions use Templates. Please use these templates for the content of those pages as it makes them nice and uniform, and if we add sections then it will automatically update those pages to support those sections. [[Templates]] is where you access a list of used templates.
| + | ===Question: What is a 'Post'?=== |
| | + | *Answer - A post is a message sent in, by email or through web interface, to contribute to the running story or plot line. |
| | | | |
| − | Formatting and Syntax is explained Below, including how to use the Templates, as mentioned above.
| + | ===Question: How do I post ?=== |
| | + | *Answer - Simply write an email or use the web interface, with your contribution to the story. A typical post will be about two - five paragraphs long describing detail about what your character is doing, or describing the interaction between your character and another players, or with an NPC. You may also post about what is going on an NPC ship, or what is happening in another area , Weather, exploding conduits, rippling space, a homeworld dying, etc. For details on posting, you should check out the [[RPG:How_to_Play|How to play]] page. |
| | | | |
| − | Remember, the design of the Wiki is to make the site better through group collaboration. Feel Free to make edits on design, correct grammar, and make the templates look better. We want to add as much as possible to this site and make it have more data than the Universe has ever had on display. :D Also remember others will edit your pages. If you are in a disagreement, just be communicative about it, use the discussion pages and the lists and we'll come to a consensus about what is best.
| + | ===Question: Where do I post to ? (What list am I on? )=== |
| | + | *Answer - Once your application has been accepted, you will be placed on a list. Usually the list moderator will send you a welcome letting giving you information which you need in order to post to the list, and any other details you need to know. Typically the list name is the ship name (Ie, you are on the ship USI Means, the list name is [email protected] ). |
| | | | |
| − | __TOC__
| + | ===Question: I just signed up, what do I do now ?=== |
| | + | *Answer - After you sign up , you will receive a USI General Welcome letter with your User ID. Take a few moments to edit your character profile to put the finishing touches on your character. Once you have modified your character for the first time, this lets us know that you are ready to be put on a list. We will not put you on a list until you have edited / modified your character at least once. Then Wait until you are assigned to a ship/list. When you are assigned, you will receive a welcome letter from that ship giving you the list email address, and other information pertinent to that ship/list. |
| | | | |
| − | ==Editing Pages== | + | ===Question: How many characters am I allowed in USI ?=== |
| | + | *Answer - Two. We keep track of everyone who signs up in USI. We try to limit the amount to two so that concentration on a character isn't neglected, and to allow other players a chance for advancement in USI. We know that USI is fun to play, and that often times having ten characters is fun because you get to experience other ships. But this can be a disadvantage to other players. Especially if all ten of your character all grow in the ranks quickly. We need to allow for everyone to have potential and growth within the game. If you need to expand your writing, please feel free to use NPC's. |
| | | | |
| − | The first is by use of the Wiki Syntax. A good example is the above line that says "Editing Pages". To accomplish the title likeness and the underline, two <nowiki>==</nowiki> were placed, one before and one after the block of text. The full syntax looked like this
| + | ===Question: Which rulebooks do I need for this game? is this D&D?=== |
| − | <nowiki> ==Editing Pages Help== </nowiki>
| + | *Answer: USI's play system is uniquely designed for the purpose of freeform writing. The [[RPG:How_to_Play|How to play]] and the [[RPG:Rules_of_Play|Rules of Play]] as well as the [[RPG:Character_System|Character System]] go into detail on how to play as well as the rules and how the character system works. The [[RPG:Character_System|Character System]] is an evolving system which we modify now and then. |
| | | | |
| − | Which gave us our desired result.
| + | ===Question: Is this a computer game?=== |
| | + | *Answer: This is a play-by-email-game. So yes and no. Computers are required to play, as play is done by email submissions. |
| | | | |
| − | Links are generated by the site by the use of double brackets. <nowiki>[[ ]]</nowiki> are containers for links.
| + | == Further Support == |
| | + | IF Your Problem - |
| | | | |
| − | Example
| + | *Is with another character or player on which you play on, you must contact your List or Listgroup Moderator regarding the situation. |
| − | <nowiki>[[RPG:Old_Faq|Old FAQ]]</nowiki>
| |
| | | | |
| − | A <nowiki>|</nowiki> is used to seperate a potentially non-formatted text to replace with your own. Otherwise the link itself will show the underscore.
| + | *Is with parts of the website, send an email to info@usi-rpg.com describing which part of the website you were viewing, what browser, and your connection speed. A game staff will try to resolve your issue. |
| | | | |
| − | Why an underscore ? The link you create uses the link as its page title. So if you create a link called <nowiki>[[thisoldhouse]]</nowiki> you end up with a page title as thisoldhouse. Doesn't look very nice. However, underscores in links are converted to spaces in the page titles. So you end up with <nowiki>[[This_Old_House]]</nowiki> being '''This Old House''' as your title.
| + | *Is with not receiving email, check the lists link to check your list for new email. Chances are, if the list doesn't have new email, then either the list is just slow ( no activity ) or your email provider could be rejecting our emails as spam. Make sure you put the listname in your address book and that you allow email from the lists. The other possibility is that we might have your email address in the database incorrectly. This can be due to submitting an incorrect email address, or a typo somewhere. In either way, contact info@usi-rpg.com and we will get fixed for you. |
| | | | |
| − | Templates are a great thing. In function it allows any page to act like any type of database simply by referencing the template to be used, and telling it which variables to fill in for you.
| + | *Is that you just barely joined USI, and have not been put on a list. Please be patient and you will be placed on a list soon. Game Staff and List moderators are volunteer work. |
| | | | |
| − | Take a look at this [[Template:Factions|template]] (open in new window) This is the faction template used on factions. You will see that by itself its pretty self explanitory. The {{{Text}}} are used as variables for definition when we use a template. When we use the template, we dont' paste that code in on the page of use. We do this instead.
| + | ==Report Abuse== |
| | + | Like in every day life, no one is perfect and sometimes people, systems, and situations are abused. With USI this can also be the case. However rare it is, we request that you tell the Administration of these occurrences. Let us know so that we may rectify the situation. Send an email to [email protected] to report. Your identity will be kept confidential and anonymous. |

| − | ...and we then simply fill in the blanks as if it was a normal database on the old site. The order isn't important, but its little syntax is (though it could all be on a single line if you wanted it to be.) I break it down for each section per line to make editing easier in the future. The link below is our current templates in use.

| | | | |
| − | ==More Formatting==
| + | [[Category:Help]][[Category:Game Play]] |
| − | You can format your text using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, single quotes or equation marks which have a special function in the wiki, sometimes depending on their position. For example, to format a word in ''italic'', you include it in two single quotes like <tt><nowiki>''this''</nowiki></tt>

| − | | |
| − | == Paragraphs ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Mediawiki ignores normal line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can also start a newline with the HTML tag <tt><nowiki><br /></nowiki></tt>.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == HTML ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Some HTML-Tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <tt><nowiki><code></nowiki></tt>, <tt><nowiki><div></nowiki></tt>, <tt><nowiki><span></nowiki></tt> and <tt><nowiki><font></nowiki></tt>.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | == More advanced formatting ==
| |
| − | Beyond the basic text formatting markup shown above, there are some more advanced formatting tricks:
| |
| − | There are four sorts of links in MediaWiki:
| |
| − | # internal links to other pages in the wiki
| |
| − | # external links to websites
| |
| − | # inter-wiki links (links to other wikis)
| |
| − | # inter-language links to other language versions of the same wiki
| |
| − | | |
| − | To add an internal link, enclose the name of the page you want to link to in double square brackets. When you save the page, you'll see the new link pointing to your page. If the page exists already, it is displayed in blue, empty pages are displayed in red. Selflinks to the current page are not transformed in URLs but displayed in bold.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The first letter of the target page is automatically capitalized and spaces are represented as underscores (typing an underscore in the link will have a similar effect as typing a space, but is not recommended, since the underscore will also be shown in the text).

| − | |}
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Uploaded files==
| |
| − | To use an image or other file which has been uploaded to the wiki, use:
| |
| − | *<code><nowiki>[[Image:Example.jpg]]</nowiki></code>
| |
| − | If you add a pipe (|) and some text after the filename, the text will be used as alternative text for text-only browsers:
| |
| − | *<code><nowiki>[[Image:Example.jpg|alternative text]]</nowiki></code>
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you don't want to display the image, you can link to the file's description page, by adding a colon:
| |
| − | *<code><nowiki>[[:Image:Example.jpg]]</nowiki></code>
| |
| − | To bypass the description page and link directly to a file , use the "Media" pseudo-namespace:
| |
| − | *<code><nowiki>[[Media:Example.jpg]]</nowiki></code>
| |
| − | You can also make piped links if you want some other text to be used:
| |
| − | *<code><nowiki>[[:Image:Example.jpg|link text]]</nowiki></code>
| |
| − | *<code><nowiki>[[Media:Example.jpg|link text]]</nowiki></code>
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Advanced options===
| |
| − | The full syntax for displaying an image is:
| |
| − | <code><nowiki>[[Image:{name}|{options}]]</nowiki></code>
| |
| − | Where options can be zero or more of the following, separated by pipes:
| |
| − | *<code>thumb</code>, <code>thumbnail</code>, or <code>frame</code>: Controls how the image is formatted
| |
| − | *<code>left</code>, <code>right</code>, <code>center</code>, <code>none</code>: Controls the alignment of the image on the page
| |
| − | *<code>{width}px</code>: Resizes the image to the given width in pixels
| |
| − | *<code>{caption text}</code>
| |
| − | The options can be given in any order. If a given option does not match any of the other possibilities, it is assumed to be the caption text. Caption text can contain wiki links or other formatting.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Gallery of images===
| |
| − | It's easy to make a gallery of thumbnails with the <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code> tag. The syntax is:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | <gallery>
| |
| − | Image:{filename}|{caption}
| |
| − | Image:{filename}|{caption}
| |
| − | {...}
| |
| − | </gallery>
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | Captions are optional, and may contain wiki links or other formatting.
| |
| − | | |
| − | for example:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | <gallery>
| |
| − | Image:Example.jpg|Item 1
| |
| − | Image:Example.jpg|a link to [[Help:Contents]]
| |
| − | Image:Example.jpg
| |
| − | Image:Example.jpg
| |
| − | Image:Example.jpg|''italic caption''
| |
| − | </gallery>
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | is formatted as:
| |
| − | <gallery>
| |
| − | Image:Example.jpg|Item 1
| |
| − | Image:Example.jpg|a link to [[Help:Contents]]
| |
| − | Image:Example.jpg
| |
| − | Image:Example.jpg
| |
| − | Image:Example.jpg|''italic caption''
| |
| − | </gallery>
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Other files==
| |
| − | You can link to an external file using the same syntax used for External links.
| |
| − | *<code><nowiki>[http://url.for/some/image.png]</nowiki></code>
| |
| − | Or with different text:
| |
| − | *<code><nowiki>[http://url.for/some/image.png link text here]</nowiki></code>
| |
| − | | |
| − | If it is enabled on your wiki , you can also embed external images. To do that, simply insert the image's url:
| |
| − | *<code><nowiki>http://url.for/some/image.png</nowiki></code>
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Administration of images/files ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Tables may be authored in wiki pages using either HTML table elements directly, or using wikicode formatting to define the table. HTML table elements and their use are well described on various web pages and will not be discussed here. The benefit of wikicode is that the table is constructed of character symbols which tend to make it easier to perceive the table structure in the article editing view compared to HTML table elements.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A good general rule of thumb is to avoid using a table unless you need to. Table markup often complicates page editing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Wiki table markup summary ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | {|cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="1" width="600"
| |
| − | |<nowiki>{|</nowiki> || start '''table'''
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | |<nowiki>|+</nowiki> || table '''caption,''' ''optional;'' only one per table and between table start and first row
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | |<nowiki>|-</nowiki> || '''table row,''' ''optional on first row'' -- wiki engine assumes the first row
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | |<nowiki>!</nowiki> || '''table header''' cell, ''optional.'' Consecutive table headers may be added on same line separated by double marks (!!) or start on new lines, each with its own single mark (!).

| − | |<nowiki>|</nowiki> || '''table data''' cell, ''required!'' Consecutive table data cells may be added on same line separated by double marks (<nowiki>||</nowiki>) or start on new lines, each with its own single mark (<nowiki>|</nowiki>).
| |

| |
| − | |<nowiki>|}</nowiki> || end '''table'''
| |
| − | |}
| |
| − | *The above marks must '''start on a new line''' except the double || and !! for optionally adding consecutive cells to a line.
| |
| − | *'''XHTML attributes.''' Each mark, except table end, optionally accepts one or more XHTML attributes. Attributes must be on the same line as the mark. Separate attributes from each other with a single space.
| |
| − | **Cells and caption (<nowiki>| or ||, ! or !!, and |+</nowiki>) hold content. So separate any attributes from content with a single pipe (|). Cell content may follow on same line or on following lines.
| |
| − | **Table and row marks (<nowiki>{| and |-</nowiki>) do not directly hold content. Do ''not'' add pipe (|) after their optional attributes. If you erroneously add a pipe after attributes for the table mark or row mark the parser will delete it ''and'' your final attribute if it was touching the erroneous pipe!
| |
| − | *'''Content''' may (a) follow its cell mark on the same line after any optional XHTML attributes or (b) on lines below the cell mark. Content that uses wiki markup that itself needs to start on a new line, such as lists, headers, or nested tables, must of course be on its own new line.

| − | ==Simple table==
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Plain===
| |
| − | The following table lacks borders and good spacing but shows the simplest wiki markup table structure
| |
| − | {| width="100%"
| |
| − | |width="50%"|
| |
| − | {|
| |
| − | |Orange
| |
| − | |Apple
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | |Bread
| |
| − | |Pie
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | |Butter
| |
| − | |Ice cream
| |
| − | |}
| |
| − | |width="50%"|
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | {|

| − | |Orange

| − | |Apple

| − | |Bread

| − | |-
| |
| − | |Butter
| |
| − | |Ice cream
| |
| − | |}
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | |}
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Alternative===
| |
| − | For more table-ish looking wiki markup cells can be listed on one line separated by ||. This does not scale well for longer cell content such as paragraphs. It works well for short bits of content however, such as our example table.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Extra spaces within cells in the wiki markup can be added, as I have done in the wiki markup below, to make the wiki markup itself look better but they do not effect the actual table rendering.
| |
| − | | |
| − | HTML attributes can be added to this table following the examples in other tables on this page but have been left out of the following example for simplicity.
| |
| − | {| width="100%"
| |
| − | |width="50%"|
| |
| − | {|
| |
| − | | Orange || Apple || more

| − | | |
| − | '''Preview the whole table.''' If you click on an edit tab for a heading ''within'' a table, edit, and preview, the parent table will display erroneously broken because part of it will be missing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Keep the heading hierarchy consistent with the rest of the page so that the table of contents at page top works correctly.
