Fixing Up Seerowpedia
« on: February 14, 2016, 10:58:42 PM »
So if you don't know seerowpedia is the official animorphs wiki. I was looking through it the other day, and it kinda looks like ****. So I started editing through all the articles. So far, I've fixed up the pages for the six main characters and the first five books. I was thinking maybe this could become a community RAF project. If you are going to help fix up the articles for seerowpedia, use The Invasion page (http://animorphs.wikia.com/wiki/The_Invasion) as a template/format for articles on the books. Use Tobias's page (http://animorphs.wikia.com/wiki/Tobias) as a template/format all the character pages. C'mon guys, let's make Seerowpedia a good source for animorphs knowledge.

*Note: I also posted this under reddit

Over here: http://animorphs.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation?action=edit

in front of the entries you put stars, one for first-level, two for lower in. After that is the text that is displayed, then there is the | sign and then the name of the page. All the entries with #text# are special things.

Okay so, I'm editing the menu and how do you put categories (such as  http://animorphs.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Books_In_The_20s) in the menu (** Books In The 20s)
