Ninjala OC Wiki:Basic Tutorial

Welcome to the Basic Tutorial page for the Ninjala Wiki. This page contains a brief series of step-by-step tutorials and information about editing on this wiki. This is include creating new pages, using infoboxes, adding images, using the two editor modes, text effects, and more. Note that some subjects will link to the Fandom Community Central, which contains lots of useful information and instructions of how to use their respective subjects.

Important Notes
Before editing on this wiki, please review our rules and guidelines. These rules are meant to help keep the wiki a safe and enjoyable place for all and to ensure a clean, organized space, so it is important to have a look at them!

Also worth noting is that this tutorial will be written assuming you are using the Visual Editor unless stated otherwise. Additionally, this tutorial is written with PC users in mind.

Making a New Page
The first step to creating a new page is, well, creating a new page! This is perhaps the easiest part. To get started, click on the "Add Page" button (pictured) at the top of the page to the right. Give your page a name (this should be the first and last name of your OC) and click "NEXT". This will bring you to the editor, which by default will usually be in the Visual Editor.

If you want to edit a page that already exists, just click the large "EDIT" button parallel to the page title.

Editing Modes
There are two editing modes on Fandom: the Visual Editor and the Source Editor. To switch between the two, just go to the top of the page where it displays your current editor, and select either "Visual editing" or "Source editing" from the dropdown menu.

Visual Editor
Visual mode is the usual default editor that you will be taken to upon creating or editing a page. Is its name suggests, the Visual Editor is an editor that reflects what the page will look like once it's published. It's easy-to-use and easy-to-understand, making it a good choice for new editors of the wiki.

Source Editor
Source mode is a more complex editor that uses Wikitext code to write the page. This mode allows for more customization and allows you to do things that you otherwise couldn't do in Visual mode, such as various text effects. While you don't absolutely need to use this mode or learn Wikitext, since pretty much everything you really need is in the Visual Editor, it would be very helpful to learn, so we highly recommend looking into it! It will help you in the long run!
