Template Guide

We have quite a few templates on this wiki and for varied reasons, so this page is show casing them all and how to use them properly. To see more about the user levels see here, for warning templates see here and for word bubbles see here or here.

All Users

Adoption

Need to put a character up for adoption? Well once you have notified a member of the Administration team, then put this template at the top of your character page. Once someone contacts you about adopting your character.

{{Adoption|BachLynn23}}

Character Away

Is your character not at the warehouse right now? Maybe they are on a mission, or you've written them away for awhile so that you aren't role playing them, they've gone home maybe. You can put this template at the top of their page to reflect that. This can NOT be used if you are still role playing with the character, this is only for characters you may want to retire and not use, but you don't want to kill off either.

{{Away|on a quest}}

Dead/Missing?

Sometimes in the course of role play, a story line presents itself where the fate of the character in question is currently unknown, yet they are not at the warehouse and not being role played. This template can be used to reflect that.

{{Location Unknown}}

"My" Character Templates

As this wiki houses hundreds of role play characters, it can be rather difficult to keep track of who belongs to who, these templates should go on top of every character page that isn't formatted to reflect the owner of the character by another method.

Single Owner Character

{{My Character|BachLynn23}}

This character belongs to BachLynn23

Dual Owner Character

{{Two Owners|BachLynn23|Flamefang}}

This character belongs to BachLynn23 and Flamefang

Injured Character

Is your character somehow injured in a serious enough way to they won't be role played for awhile? This template can be used to reflect that, however, there must be a valid role play reason for the character to be injured.

{{Injured Character}}

Dead

For characters who have died, and will never be role played again.

{{Dead}}

Planned Inactivity/Vacations

Are you busy with school? Is your family planning a big vacation where you won't have internet access? Have no fear, we have a template you can put on your user page to let users know you will be away and when you will be back. This will also keep you from being marked as inactive, per our Inactivity policy.

{{Inactive|30th February|I will not be able to use a computer.}}

This user is inactive.

Reason:

I will not be able to use a computer.

{{Vacation|10 days}}

Count Down Clock

This is used for mission pages and voting pages, or anything that needs a count down timer.

{{Count Down Clock|December 31 2011 00:00:00 EST|This quest ends in}}

Special Events Closed

We hold special events from time to time, as they generally involve the creation of special pages, at the end of the event we don't want to delete the pages, but people should no longer be role playing on them either. This template goes on the top of any special event pages that are no longer active.

{{Event Closed}}

The event that was taking place on this page has come to a close.
Please do not continue making edits or role playing here, unless instructed otherwise.

User Left

Obviously no one stays forever, and in the course of time, users sometimes leave either knowingly with notice, or have gone into the mist and just never come back. Sometimes it is easier to just delete the character pages of the users who left, but sometimes the users role played quite frequently and deleting would leave a gap in role play. When that is the case, this template may be put on those character pages, as well as taking off all categories, keeping only the category Characters Who Left.

{{User Left|BachLynn23}}

Special Character

Sometimes in the course of role play events, special characters have been made, some currently still being used, for special functions that do not fall under the realm of a user's character counts. Aside from Admins and Bcrats, any other users with this type of character must have that character approved by an administrator. You will then place this template on that character's page.

{{Special Character|A special quest}}

This character is not a regular character. He/she was made for a specific task.

Reason: A special quest

Missions

Missions Pulled

If a mission is pulled early for inactivity or other various reasons, this template needs to be put on the quest page, in place of the count down timer, as well as having the category changed to Missions Ended.

{{Mission Pulled|10 October|no one has posted on the quest in 12 days}}

Missions Ended

For missions that have sufficiently run their course and are now at an end, this template may be used, it will take the place of the count down timer, as well as having the category changed to Missions Ended.

{{Mission Ended}}
