Log FAQ

ROOM NAME This is where you put the name of the room for any room displayed in the log. This format makes the room name italicized and bolded. Please use the full name of the room, ie Xanadu Weyr - Caverns.
ROOM DESC This is where you put the room desc for the first room in the log. This format italicizes the description. You do not need to include room contents or exit list.


LOG this is where you enter the actual text of the log. Try to avoid excess line breaks in the text, and remember to remove any OOC text, such as pages and channel chatter.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I link to a character's wiki page in my log?
A: First, confirm the page name of their wiki page. It should be something like this: player:FAQ.
To insert the link, place the page name in triple brackets. It will result in a link like this: FAQ. We recommend using this where their name first appears in the log in a pose of theirs.

Q: How should I name my log?
A: Please name your log in the following pattern:
Numeric date in MMDDYY format-# of log for that date.
IE: 080509-1 is the first log of roleplay from that date. If a second log was created for RP from August 5th, 2009, it would be titled 080509-2, and so on.

Q: How do I add a log to my character page?
A: Logs are listed in a tab format. This section starts with a code block reading 'tabview'. The generic tab format is shown here:

[[tabview]]
[[tab Tab 1]]
* [[[logs:faq|Log FAQ]]]
[[/tab]]
[[tab Tab 2]]
* [[[logs:faq|Log FAQ]]]
[[/tab]]
[[/tabview]]

Each tab has a header where the tab name is set (Tab 1 and Tab 2), and then has a set of links to pages. The first step in creating your own log list to name your tab or tabs appropriately. If you only want one tab, delete the extra section. If you want more tabs, copy the code from tab NAME through /tab and paste it below your last tab but before the /tabview segment.
The second step is to set the actual link to your log. Write down the name of the page (it should be something like logs:080509-1) and the title of the page (which is what you actually call the log). It would then look like this:
[[tabview]]
[[tab Tab 1]]
* [[[logs:080509-1|Random Log of Happiness]]]
[[/tab]]
[[tab Tab 2]]
* [[[logs:faq|Log FAQ]]]
[[/tab]]
[[/tabview]]

Of course, use the actual log page name and title, but you get the idea.
This will update the contents of the tab to list your log. To add additional logs, duplicate the code on the next line (or in whatever tab you want the log listed) and update it accordingly. We recommend sorting logs by month or year, depending on how many you have. You can also sort by location if you travel frequently.

Here's what it will look like:
