Talk:Towns
From FroobWorld Wiki
Hello!
Hello everyone!
This is Olivia, I'm looking to standardize all towns (and also players/events later) and give a list of information each wiki user should supply or seek to research when creating or editing a page. So, here we go:
Infobox
- Each Town page should include an infobox_town. (Events have a simple infobox).
- A sample of this infobox which you can copy and paste, then edit, into your own page is given below! You can see a filled in example to the right.
- This infobox should include:
- 1 image, which ideally is a map or gives an idea of what the place looks like (i.e. not just one building).
- A caption for this image.
- The map the town is in.
- Coordinates of the centre of the town/a central landmark.
- Date of founding.
- Name of founder.
- Population.
- Theme (if no theme, simply put "None.")

| Map | Map 11 |
|---|---|
| Coordinates | x: 18770 z: -4600 (Overworld) |
| Founded | 28th of January 2023 |
| Founder | Olivia313 |
| Population | 5 Citizens |
| Theme | Neo-Renaissance |
{{Infobox_town
| name = Town Name
| image = image?.image type?
| caption = caption?
| map = [[Map 11]]
| coordinates = x: ? z: ? (Overworld/Nether/End?)
| founded = ? of Month? 202?
| founder = [[player?]], [[player2?]] (if >2)
| population = ? Citizens
| theme = ??
}}
Content & Headings
- Each town page should have the following headings (if applicable):
- Overview (here give a summary of the page)
- Banner (very important, each page should have this at least!)
- History (reference other pages, e.g. The Waffle War
- Buildings (famous or notable ones, and their history if applicable such as who built them, when did construction begin etc.)
- Provinces/Territories (if applicable)
- Culture (if applicable)
- Government (if applicable)
- Overview (here give a summary of the page)
Images
Images are really great to add as they liven up the wiki page and will hopefully be interesting to look back upon! When adding an image, I believe the following steps work well:
- Upload your image here: https://froobworld.com/wiki/Special:Upload
- Then add the image to your town page using the following:
[[File:(NAME OF FILE).(FILE TYPE)|thumb|right|(ADD YOUR CAPTION HERE) (DATE).]]
- For example, the following will give the image on the right.
[[File:2023-03-26_20.24.55.png|thumb|right|The C.A.W. document being drafted in [[Ortopia]], [[Stinkerism]] can be seen standing at the podium (26th of March, 2023).]]
The C.A.W. document being drafted in Ortopia, Stinkerism can be seen standing at the podium (26th of March, 2023).
Okay now
I will probably come back and edit this to tidy it up, hope it's useful!
