The legacy page lists legacies and members thereof. Since wiki editing of tables is a bit tricky, this section gives a few pointers to editing the legacy page.
-
Upload a portrait image
- Take a snapshot that clearly shows your character's face, use Alt+z to toggle the HUD on and off if necessary.
- Open the snapshot image in a software that allows you to crop and scale images, for example IrfanView, The Gimp or Adobe Photoshop
- Select a square region surrounding the face of the character
- Crop the image so that your square selection remains
- Scale or resample the image to about 180x180 pixels (The display in the legacy list is only 50x50 pixels but with 180x180 you can also use it on, for example a separate page describing this character
- Save the cropped image, use your character name as filename, for example Ainazu.png
- Go to the wiki, log in and click "Upload file" in the menu on the left
- Select the file and upload, optionally enter a description of the image
-
Edit the legacy page:
- Click "Edit" at the top of the page
-
Create legacy listing (If your legacy is alreeady listed in the page, skip this)
- Manually scroll through the listing until you get to the point where your legacy belongs, try to keep the list ordered alphabetically
-
Add the following lines of text, but substitute "Ta'noa" with your legacy name:
{{LegacyName|Ta'noa}} |}
- Locate the listing of your legacy in the page. If you just created it, you are already there
-
For each member of your legacy, add the following text between the "LegacyName" and the "|}" lines:
{{LegacyMember|name=Ainazu |portrait=Ainazu.png |class=Sith Assassin |level=50 |alignment=Dark |crewskills={{ThreeCrewSkillIcons|Synthweaving/Archaeology/Underworld Trading}} |member=Yes }}One block per character, be careful to insert the new block at the correct location: Either immediately following the "LegacyName" line, immediately above an already existing "LegacyMember" block, between a "}}" and another "LegacyMember" line or immediately above the "|}" line that closes your legacy. Of course, you should substitute the information with relevant values:- name: Your character's name (A link to a page with the same name will automatically be created)
- portrait: The name of the image to use for the portrait icon (If left blank, the default portrait will be used)
- class: The character class
- level: The current level of this character
- alignment: "Light" or "Dark", everything else will be mapped to the gray alignment icon
- crewskills: Up to three crew skills separated by "/" as parameter to the {{ThreeCrewSkillIcons}} template. Exchange the skills to match your character choosing from these available options:
- member: "Yes" if the character is a member of the Army of Darkness guild, "No" if not
- Click "Save page"
- Done!
