Assault Lily Wiki:Editing Guide

This page provides help and tips with some special editing tasks on this wiki that you won't find in the MediaWiki help.

How to make pages have nice previews
It unfortunately takes some extra work to make wiki pages have nice previews when linked on places like Discord or Twitter.

Thumbnails
If you used an infobox on your article and included an image, it probably already set a thumbnail image for that page. Click on "Page information" on the bottom of the left-hand sidebar to check. If you see a 'page image' and it's the one you want, you're good to go.

Some pages have images, but no infobox. If that's the case, edit the page's source and look for a line of code like this:



Change it to this:



That will set your page image.

If you want your page image to be something different from the one you're using in an infobox, ask on the community portal. We will need to make special arrangements.

Page descriptions
To improve how your page looks when previewed, you'll need to manually specify a description in its source code, like so:

Try to limit the description to two or three sentences. Wiki markup like bold text and links does not work in descriptions; don't use it. The description will be hidden from people browsing the Wiki, and can differ as little or as much from the page's actual content as you'd like.
