Line 1: Line 1:
The following page is designed to assist in the creation of a player page on the wiki.
+
The new guide is a googledocs spreadsheet located [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1penjQdHheaDxoE2d6iXTRQAbJaonS8TKcLTKR_EmRdU/edit#gid=0 here].
  
==The basics==
+
You will need to '''make a copy''' of the file before you can work on it. Instructions are provided in the file, hover over cells to see notes for further explanation.
To create a new player page, edit the following link to contain your player's name (it will be case-sensitive), then open it in a new browser tab:
 
<br /><nowiki>http://iltornante.com/nsflwiki/index.php?title=YOUR_PLAYER_NAME_HERE&action=edit</nowiki>
 
  
Now you just need to populate the page.
+
Make sure you actually follow these instructions, otherwise the page you produce may not be approved.
  
When creating a new player page, it might be helpful to use the below code as a guideline, replacing the relevant parts with information (and backstory) about the player in question. You can copy and paste this directly into the page you created, and edit the bits you need to.
+
If you have any trouble, it is probably best to ask for help in the [https://discord.gg/R8HxgZX NSFLWiki Discord].
  
Look at NFL player pages on wikipedia for an example of what kind of stuff should go in here (including stuff about their personal life if you so wish). For a good example of a player page, see [[Antoine Delacour]], [[Blackford Oakes]] or [[Ryan Applehort]].
+
The old guide has been superseded and is now located [[Blank:Player/old|here]].
  
To add a picture, put the filename you want to use (try and make it somewhat descriptive, like "PlayerName01.png") in the correct place in the template, and submit the changes. The filename you chose should show as a red link now, click it and upload the file on the page that loads.
+
It still works, if you can't access googledocs. However, it does mean that there will be a lot more editing required. If you use this method to make your page, '''you will need to tag 37thchamber on discord for a clean up before you can claim TPE'''.
 
 
Everything between <nowiki><!-- and --></nowiki> (including the tags themselves) can be removed unless otherwise stated.
 
<br />If you have any questions, send a DM to '''37thchamber''' on the forums or tag '''academydropout#5644''' on Discord.

==Early years==
 
Where were they born? Where did they grow up? Who were their parents? What high school did they attend? Did they play other sports before focusing on football?
 
 
 
Basic information like that.
 
 
 
==College career==
 
Quick overview of where they played, and when. What position? Did they set any records in college?

But yeah, summarise each season in this bit. Just a quick overview. Nothing too in-depth. If something major happened, like the multi scandal, or the incorrect TPE stuff, it's probably worth having a separate article for those kinds of things.

==Stats tables==
 
The format for stats tables is a bit strange, so templates have been prepared based on player position. They can be found [[Blank:StatsTables|here]].
 
You will need to copy and paste the relevant template into the correct place in the player page, and fill in the values.
 
 
 
Hopefully, a simpler method can be created in future.
 

Revision as of 09:11, 20 March 2020

The new guide is a googledocs spreadsheet located here.

You will need to make a copy of the file before you can work on it. Instructions are provided in the file, hover over cells to see notes for further explanation.

Make sure you actually follow these instructions, otherwise the page you produce may not be approved.

If you have any trouble, it is probably best to ask for help in the NSFLWiki Discord.

The old guide has been superseded and is now located here.

It still works, if you can't access googledocs. However, it does mean that there will be a lot more editing required. If you use this method to make your page, you will need to tag 37thchamber on discord for a clean up before you can claim TPE.
