Help:How to edit legacy

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.

1. Upload a portrait image
   1. Take a snapshot that clearly shows your character's face, use Alt+z to toggle the HUD on and off if necessary.
   2. Open the snapshot image in a software that allows you to crop and scale images, for example IrfanView, The Gimp or Adobe Photoshop
   3. Select a square region surrounding the face of the character
   4. Crop the image so that your square selection remains
   5. 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
   6. Save the cropped image, use your character name as filename, for example Ainazu.png
   7. Go to the wiki, log in and click "Upload file" in the menu on the left
   8. Select the file and upload, optionally enter a description of the image
2. Edit the legacy page:
   1. Click "Edit" at the top of the page
   2. Create legacy listing (If your legacy is alreeady listed in the page, skip this)
      1. Manually scroll through the listing until you get to the point where your legacy belongs, try to keep the list ordered alphabetically
      2. Add the following lines of text, but substitute "Ta'noa" with your legacy name:

         {{LegacyName|Ta'noa}}
         |}

   3. Locate the listing of your legacy in the page. If you just created it, you are already there
   4. 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
                    |origin=Sith Inquisitor
                    |style=Assassin
                    |roles=Damage/Tank
                    |level=50
                    |alignment=Dark
                    |crewskills=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, select one from the following options:

        	Bounty Hunter		Imperial Agent		Sith Inquisitor		Sith Warrior
        	Mercenary		Operative		Sith Assassin		Sith Juggernaut
        	Powertech		Sniper		Sith Sorcerer		Sith Marauder
        	Smuggler		Trooper		Jedi Consular		Jedi Knight
        	Gunslinger		Commando		Jedi Sage		Jedi Guardian
        	Scoundrel		Vanguard		Jedi Shadow		Jedi Sentinel

      • roles: The roles this character can assume separated by "/", select one or two from the following options:

        Damage

        Heal

        Tank

      • level: The current level of this character
      • alignment: The Force alignment of the character. Choose between the following options:

        Armstech	Cybertech	Slicing
        Artifice	Diplomacy	Synthweaving
        Bioanalysis	Investigation	Treasure Hunting

      • member: "Yes" if the character is a member of the Army of Darkness guild, "No" if not
   5. Click "Save page"
3. Done!
4. Advanced - Make your legacy member list re-usable on other pages
   1. Just above the section for your legacy, add {{Ta'noa-Members}}, but substitute "Ta'noa" with your legacy name
   2. Cut the entire section related to your legacy, from {{LegacyName|Ta'noa}} to the |} inclusively.
   3. Save the member list page and note that you now have a red link where your legacy listing used to be. Click that link to create a new page
   4. Paste the member listing you cut from the original page and save
   5. Done! Now you can use the tag {{Ta'noa-Members}}, of course with your own legacy name, wherever you want the list to appear, typically in the member list and the main page of your legacy
   6. To edit your member list after this, edit a page where your list is present and look at the bottom of the page below the buttons. It gives you a list of templates used in the page. Your template should be among the ones listed, looking like "Template:Ta'noa-Members". Click "edit" by the template name and make changes as usual
