==Editing/Creating T-Doll Pages==<del>For page restructuring conveniencesDolls articles have dedicated subpages for their story involvement, T-Doll quotes and Live2D animations (when applicable). These pages are made through using a single template, please read it on [[Template:T-Doll]]. To create a T-Doll page, simply copy the code in [[Template:T-Doll]], paste them in accessed with tabs at the desired doll top of each page, and fill in the parameters.</del>

After template change in July/August 2018, T-Doll pages are now being separated into four (4) distinctive sections, with T-Doll PlayableUnit page as main page and Quotes, Strategy and Story as sub pages. *For T-Doll main page, create page under [[Template:PlayableUnit]] and fill parameters if applicable.**T-Doll main page contains all in game doll general statistics, numerical data, weapon background, character design background and imagery art.*For Quotes sub page create page under [[Template:QuotesSubPage]] and fill parameters if applicable and able.**Quotes sub page contains character quotes and appropriate translations only.*Story And Strategy sub pages do not have template, page format and contents are left open for editors' discretion.**Story sub page contains character personality Banners at the top of articles or subsections will warn of spoilers or missing information and story involvements if applicable.**Strategy sub page editors are free to write analysis and guides for the T-Doll's in game performance.

:'''For editors wanting ==How to fill these pages but doesn't know edit IOP Wiki==On the valuearticle you wish to edit, please [[Project:About|join use the wiki discord channel]]"Edit" button at the top of the page to enter the editing screen.You will then be able to modify the text for this article as well as its Wikicode. ''Note that if you edit an article without creating an account, your edit will be submitted with your IP address instead of your account name. Please create an account if you don't want your IP address to be visible to user users.''

Wikicode is a simple text system to add links, images and other objects into an article. Here are some basic examples:*To add a link to another article on IOP Wiki, put the name of that article between double brackets like so: <code><nowiki>[[Girls'Frontline]]</nowiki></code>. It will create this link: [[Girls'Frontline]].*To add a link to different website, put the full link and a description between single brackets like so: <code><nowiki>[http://gf.sunborngame.com/ Girls'ALLFrontline Official Website]</nowiki></code>. It will create this link: [http://gf.sunborngame.com/ Girls''' T-doll pages should Frontline Official Website].**Links to websites unrelated to the activities of IOP Wiki will be created under considered vandalism.*To add an image outside of a gallery, you must first upload it from your computer with the page [[Special:Upload]], using a name that correctly describes the function of the image. Then, in your article, add the following code on the line where you want the image to appear on CN server or translated names from Chinese: <code><nowiki>[[File:Your image name.*T-Doll {{doll namepng|HK416thumb|ARYour caption text|5}} appears 450px]]</nowiki></code>. Your image will then be displayed on the EN server right side of the page with a width of 450 pixels.**To add an image in a gallery, you just as need to add its full name (starting with the prefix "416File:" due to reasonsand ending with the file format) on a new line between the <code><nowiki><gallery></nowiki></code> markers. To add a caption, place a vertical line after the actual page image name remains to be HK416, however then the caption.**Make sure your picture is of good enough quality and isn't too small. If you are uploading a redirect tutorial screenshot showing a specific part of the page from "416" should screen, take the time to add a black layer at 50 % opacity on the unnecessary parts of the screen for clarity.**Uploading images unrelated to the activities of IOP Wiki will be madeconsidered vandalism.*T-Doll {{doll name|Colt Revolver|HG|4}} CN name is 卡尔特左轮, which directly translates to Colt Lists like this one are made by adding an asterisk (卡尔特*) Revolver (左轮), page made under at the translated name Colt Revolver instead start of EN server name 'SAA'each line. Add more than one asterisk to create a sub-line.

Note: Use AimAttackSpecificTarge for Before submitting a change, take the time to explain its content and intent in the "Interdiction ShotSummary" field under the edit field. Then complete the verification question and AimAttackCurrentTarge for use the "Aimed ShotPreview", those two skills share the same iconbutton to check what your change will look like before confirming.

==Editing/Creating Equipment Pages==Similar If you need ideas on how to T-Doll pageshelp, Equipment pages are made using see the [[TemplateIOP Wiki:EquipmentTodo List|Todo list]]. Copy the code in [[Template:Equipment]], paste them in the desired doll page, and fill in the parameters.

Since equipment names are subject to translation phrase changesIf you need more help, you can ask questions in the equipment pages should be created first under the editor's translation#suggestions-reports-notes room of our [https://discord. When that said piece of equipment is later released on the EN gg/GbyJQBp Discord server, the page name should then be changed].

== Guides =Page templates===Guide pages make IOP Wiki uses templates to generate a standardized display on certain articles. For example, T-Dolls articles use of [[:Template:PlayableUnit]], equipment articles use [[:Template:GuideEquipment]] and NPC articles use [[:Make sure to add <code><nowiki>{{Guide}}</nowiki></code> to the beginning of a page to have a guide navbox appear as followsTemplate:{{Guide}}NPC]].

Guides are split into 3 sections: The beginners guides, Menu translationsWhen editing these articles, take notice of the lines starting with unusual formatting like <code><nowiki>| weaponinfo =</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>| trivia = </nowiki></code>. Everything you write after one of these markers and before the next marker will be automatically added to one of the main sections of the article. You should make sure you add your information in-depth mechanics analysisthe correct section.

We prefer that illustrative screenshots uploaded to ===Style templates===Some templates can be added into a paragraph of text. These templates always start with two curly braces, followed by the wiki follow template name, if necessary some values separated by a vertical line, and finally two closing curly braces. Here are the following guidelinesmost used style templates:* Screenshots should be 720p if possible[[:Template:doll name]] adds details to links of T-Dolls articles.* Labels should be in white textThis template needs three values: the article name for this T-Doll, its type and should be both bold and underlinedits rarity. The font used Here is an example for labels should be Noto Sans (available [https[M4A1]], who is a 4-stars AR:<code><nowiki>{{doll name|M4A1|AR|4}}</nowiki></www.google.com/get/noto/ here])code> will be rendered as {{doll name|M4A1|AR|4}}.* Any labels should be clearly associated [[:Template:enemy name]] displays links to enemies articles in a flashy red color, with a skull for bosses. This template has one mandatory value, the area of article name for the image to which they referenemy, and one optional value, either by proximity or by explicitly drawn white linesthe word "boss".* Non-essential areas of Here is an example without the image should optional value: <code><nowiki>{{enemy name|Dinergate}}</nowiki></code> will be blacked outrendered as {{enemy name|Dinergate}}. The preferred method And here is by adding a black layer an example with 50% opacity or above between the base screenshot and any labels. In cases where 50% is insufficient, higher opacity levels may be used.Please use thumbs of 450 width format for pictures to ensure clarity of the image as a thumb. e.g. optional value: <code><nowiki>[[File:A.png{{enemy name|thumbAgent|captionhere|450p]]boss}}</nowiki></code>will be rendered as {{enemy name|Agent|boss}}.

=== Useful Tools ===A list of all templates in use can be found in [[Template:ThumbSliderCategory:Templates]] - For a slider of thumbnails.

==Other LanguageWhy is my change not visible?==As a measure against bots and low-quality content, changes submitted by visitors and new accounts will be reviewed manually before they can appear in the article. IOP Wiki's administrators will mark your account as self-moderated if you contribute meaningfully to the Wiki. Simply submit quality changes and come say hi in the #suggestions-reports-notes room of our [https://discord.gg/GbyJQBp Discord server]. ==Note on references==When adding information such as real-world weapons background or fictional [[Lore|lore]], adding references gives legitimacy to your edit since it makes it easily verifiable that it is not false of fan-created. References can be an in-game chapter number or an external link. A reference is placed right after a batch of information extracted from the same source, and takes the form of a number that links to the references list at the end of the article. To add a reference, use the "ref" marker like this: <code><nowiki><ref>My source</ref></nowiki></code>. Some page templates will handle the reference list, but if you need to create it by hand, add these two lines at the end of the article: <code><nowiki>==References=Chinese=</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code> ==Note on translations==AS IOP Wiki aims to stay up-to-date with the CN versions of the games while offering its content in English, terms that have not yet received an official English version will be referred to with unofficial translations. Official translation will be ignored in some cases, like T-Dolls names censored for trademark reasons such as {{doll name|HK416|AR|5}} and names that have received inconsistent translations. For a complete glossary, see the [[Girls_Frontline_WikiIOP Wiki:Guideline/ChineseGeneral Namelist|中文编辑指引手册General Namelist]].[[Category:Wiki Maintenance]]
