How to Make a Video Entry

Okay, some basic rules:

Names

If a member of LRR or the character they play has their own page on the Wiki, then the first time their name appears in a Video entry, it should be turned into a link by adding two square brackets around it, like this:

[[Graham]]

Additional instances of that name shouldn't be turned into a link. If the link is valid, it will be blue. If there's no page (as is the case for a few less frequently appearing people) the link will be red, and clicking it will open the editing screen for the page assigned that name.

How to make section headings

When making a new section, type the name of that section, then surround it with two equal signs on each side, like this:

==Vital Statistics==

If you want to make additional subsections, just increase the number of equals signs, like this:

===Subsection===

Required Sections

There are at least four sections that should be present on every video page.

• The first has no heading. It contains the mini commentary that comes right after each video's title in the archive. Just paste it into the edit box, being sure not to include the name of the video (the Wiki adds that at the top of the page automatically).

• The second is the Vital Statistics section. It should always include the following information: original release date of the video, the video's category, the people appearing in it (in order of appearance if possible), who wrote it, who operated the camera, who did the editing (almost always Graham), and the video's location(s). Some videos may have additional bits of information, like "Special Thanks to" and so on.
  • When making the labels for the information, write the word, a colon, and hit space, then surround all that with three apostrophes on each side, like this:

'''Location: '''

You can type in the information right after the second group of apostrophes, you don't need to add spaces.

• • Right below the line that says Vital Statistics, create a right-aligned box to contain the video's picture, like this:

{ | align="right" 
| URL of the picture written here 
| }

• • To find the picture for each video, go to the Archive section of LRR, right-click on the image next to the archived video, and choose "View Image". Copy and paste the URL of the page that somes up, but remove the word "small" and the downslash in front of it from the address.

should become

• The third is the Synopsis. It includes a short summary of what happened in the video.

• Finally, the Trivia section should include anything interesting and trivial.
  • To making a trivial point, put a star in front of it, like this:

*This is an example of making trivial points.

• • Putting more stars makes subpoints, like this:

*This is a trivial point.
**This is a trivial subpoint.
***This is a trivial subsubpoint.

• The last thing that needs to be added are the Category Links. Each video page should be categorized as a video. There should also be a categorization definition for the video's type or category and the season it was aired in.
