Special PT - Create your Player Wiki Page

[Oles]

As part of the NSFL’s pursuit on chronicling the early seasons of the league, and keeping a record of everything that happens, a wiki has been created. If you did not know about this basically the league has decided to best keep track of history, we have a wiki where all of it is in one central location that people can easily look through. This includes teams, players, league standings, and even scandals that have happened throughout the league. While most of the historians/wiki team will keep track of the other stuff, this special PT is specifically focused on recording players. This PT has been created as a way for the general public to get involved with the PT, by having people create wiki pages for their players.

Here’s what will happen, you’ll create a wiki page for your player using this spreadsheet for page creation and these examples of stats tables.

IF YOU DO NOT USE THE LINKED TEMPLATE, YOUR PAGE WILL BE REJECTED

When using the above link, please make sure to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and PAY ATTENTION TO THE NOTES on cells with the black triangle in the corner.
Many parts of the sheet will automatically fill in other values, but if you ignore the notes in these cells, it will produce incorrect content.

If you get stuck, you can ask for assistance on the wiki discord
(If you cannot open the template for whatever reason, let us know in the wiki & dev discord, and we can find a workaround for you)

Once you create this page you’ll need to put your information on it, background, position, stats and so on. Feel free to use Antoine Delacour's Wiki Page, Blackford Oakes' Wiki Page, or  Ryan Applehort's Wiki Page as examples of player pages.

For completing this task, you are able to claim 10 TPE. There will not be a claim thread, but you will not be allowed to claim it until someone signs off on it, which will be done by editing the post with your link, tagging you, and listing the TPE claimable. You are also only able to claim the TPE for creating your current player’s wiki page. For example, I wouldn’t be able to create a page for Tyler Oles, link that, and claim it along with one for Kazimir Oles. You can only claim 10 TPE from this per player, and when you create a new player you’ll be able to make and claim for your new player.

What you need for approval
- YOU MUST USE THE TEMPLATE. NOT USING THE TEMPLATE WILL RESULT IN ZERO TPE. 0. NOTHING. NIC. IKKE NOGET. RIEN. NADA. NOTHING. YOU WILL GET ZERO TPE. NO EXCUSES.
There are no strict guidelines for what a wiki page must include but the wiki team has developed some unofficial standards from approving and denying pages over the last year. Things that will help:
-A few solid paragraphs split between your various sections (for new players that'll be Introduction, Early Years, and College Career). Shooting for at least 400 words total there should be sufficient. A good example of the length we're looking for can be found on Corvo Havran's wiki.
-An infobox that's filled out. When you first start you won't have information for all the different fields but the more fields there that you can fill in, the better the page looks.
-Pictures. Having a picture in your Infobox makes the page look a lot more complete and embedding images in the body of your page can help make up for word length.
-Tables. Likewise, if you don't want to type out 2 paragraphs describing your college stats you can pair an overview paragraph with a stats table and it'll help make your page look more complete.
-Stealing from real wiki pages. Obviously don't blatantly plagiarize but adding things like, for example, a scouting table or other things from real athletes' wiki pages and then adapting them to your character/player is a great way to make your page look more complete and stand out a bit if you don't want to just vomit out a ton of words. (note that there is a template for scouting tables now, se Lennox Garnett for an example)

There is no deadline as of right now for this, as the plan is to help with recording history for this.

ADMIN NOTE:
I've noticed some spam has gotten through the protections in place, and will be monitoring this.

If it continues, I might have to make a wiki staff member verify new accounts before you can edit. Also means that I might have to stop uploads for a while. I'm going to monitor the upload logs closely for a while, and see how it goes.

I'll keep you updated on this moving forward, but hopefully it doesn't come to that.

I love this PT, didn't have an opportunity to create a whole wiki page for some time (and I created a whole lot, especially about battleships in my childhood) and for sure will create more in the future if the time allows it.

So ummm, can we have a guide on how to do this? That template is a bunch of gibberish.

Hard to follow some parts so if there's anything that needs changing, let me know.
