Templates

Available Templates

  • Contact Template to use when creating a new article about a contact
  • Preloaded Images such as powers icons and such. Before uploading an image, please read.
  • Useful Templates can help formatting various articles.
  • Mission Templates are templates covering common missions, such as story arcs, zone contact intros (such as David Wincott), and security chief intros. These missions can apply to multiple contacts. They have been templated for easy insertion and to avoid errors in duplication.
  • Contact Templates are templates that can be used to duplicate new contact introductions among contacts.
  • Userboxes are templates that can be placed on your userpage to indicate your interests.


Creating and Editing Templates

Image Editing

GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) (wiki). Open source, cross platform. Can do most anything Photoshop can (in the right hands). Make sure you install the GTK+ libraries first.

Paint.NET (wiki) is based on the .NET Framework by Microsoft. Some call it what MSPaint should have been.

Obsolete info

  • Store Templates to use so that you don't have to type in the names off all the enhancements a store sells
