Here's a basic rundown on how to use this wiki. Playing around on is very helpful too!
Tag Explanations
lore - any and all world building goes in this tag. there's a number of specific lore tags, such as:
fics - any fanfics that are part of the CHAPsverse
character is the main character tag. Please also add one or more of the following:
-
-
npc / nonplayer characters / any characters who might get mentioned but aren't a focus (yet)
-
-
-
member - the writers and idea havers and whatnot. each member has their own tag for any content they're the primary contributor for. we will not be listing specific member tags
we have two status tags,
wip and
complete. They should be pretty obvious?
Other
Naming Conventions
links & tags are NOT case sensitive. The tag “OC” and “oc” and “oC” all will link to the correct page!
member tags are the creator's preferred username. usernames may be formatted any way they like but can
not contain certain special characters. if it becomes an issue,
yuu will contact you.
character pages depends on the species of the character
humans and hybrids should be their given name or commonly used nickname. if, in the future, we have multiple characters in the CHAPsverse with the same given name, we may extend to given and family names, western styled.
pokemon are done in one of two way's
if the pokemon has a name their profile title should be Name the Species
otherwise, the naming convention for pokemon is Trainer's PKMN Species
lore titles should be descriptive enough for someone to know what kind of content they're about to engage in
use best judgement
Editing Guidelines
if you have a question about editing, reach out to yuu, preferably by discord!
Please do not attempt to delete pages. Please create the new page, grab yuu and ask her to make sure all the link backs are working. she'll delete the old page.
Don't be a jerk! Purposefully editing other people's content without telling them is a dick move.
Everything should be saved in the root. That means do NOT put colons (:) in any of your file/page names.
Yes URLs must begin with https://chaps.yuu.monster/doku.php/. I love y'all but I'm not dealing with messing with the htaccess file again to make it prettier.
You must be logged in to edit pages. Log in credentials are made by yuu.
How to Make & Edit a Page
There are three ways.
Search method: You use the search bar and try to find the page. It should say create or edit the page named after your query. Click the link to get to the page editor
Link method: If you created a link to a page that doesn't exist, you can click on that link. It should say “This topic does not exist yet” - click on “Create this page” at the bottom to start editing.
Direct method: type into your browser https://chaps.yuu.monster/doku.php/WHATEVER PAGE YOU WANT TO MAKE. It should load and say “This topic does not exist yet” - click on “Create this page” at the bottom to start editing.
Editing is much simpler! If the page has already been made, you can click “Edit this page” to edit.
If the page has sections, you can edit individual sections - look for the pencil icon at the bottom of the section.
Pages are not case sensitive! a page named “Hello World” is the same as “HELLO WORLD” which is the same as “HeLlO wOrLd”. They'll all render to “hello_world”
Pages with special characters in them (i.e. &) will have the special characters removed
Nothing keeps until you click the “Save” button below the text box. If you go away from the page, you might get lucky and the changes you made might still be in the cache but there's no guarantee. Save, and save often!
On that same line, there's an option to provide an “Edit Summary” and to denote if the changes were minor. I don't care if you use them.
Wiki Links
The easiest way to make links is writing something [[between these brackets]] which will create a page called “between these brackets”.
Sometimes though, you want to make a link but the page name is different. In that case you write [[the actual page name|the link that displays]]. If this was a true link it would show “the link that displays”, but clicking that link takes you “the actual page name”
Adding Images
Look for the icon that looks like a mountain picture
You should get a pop up
It will give you an option to look for a picture that's already uploaded or to upload your own.
MAKE SURE YOUR FILE NAME DOES NOT HAVE COLONS.
There's no way to edit the file name so use at your own risk, make sure there's no identifying info in it
When you choose a picture, you'll have three more things to choose: link target (if clicking the image will take you anywhere), alignment (decides if the image is aligned to the text of the page) and image size (small, medium, large or original). Once you make your choices, click “Insert”
It will look like nonsense, {{:filename.filetype?someinfo&size |}}. After the “|” symbol, please put either alt text or image source/credits. Please also credit the artist with a link back somewhere on the same page.
yuu reserves the right to delete any uploaded images and remove them from the page. do NOT upload any content that can take this, and all her other sites, taken down.
This is the tooltip icon ☼
Where ever you're adding the tooltip you will use the following code.
<autott>
<content>whatever text you want☼</content>
<tip>The body of the tooltip.</tip>
<title>An optional title for the tooltip. Remove this line if you want</title>
</autott>
More info and documentation is available at dokuwiki ☼plugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigHello!
This is an example. you can do a bit of changing around
Tagging
{{tag>tag1 tag2 any other tags}}
Please notes that tags should go at the (bottom? top?) of the page.
Like page names they are NOT case sensitive, however if you write it like thIs, that's how it's going to show up on the page.
Please only use one word tags and the canonical tags that are set up above. If additional tags are needed, please reach out to
yuu.
If you're tagging another user (such as someone you collaborated with), note that the tag for users is [[tag:THEIR USERNAME]]. All the other tags are as they are though.

WRAP Plugin
it's past eleven at night for me. please see the main page if you wanna mess around with it https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:wrap or check out the image below
This plug in also has a built in icon on the editor toolbar (looks like a puzzle piece with a down arrow)
