Wiki contribution guide/Templates
This page documents all the fun templates you can use on the wiki not covered in the style guide.
Infoboxes
These are different boxes with information that appear on the side of the page. The basic infobox (taken from Wikipedia) looks like this:
ℹ️ Notice: Wikitext and HTML are supported in all manual Infoboxes.
| Infobox example | |
|---|---|
 RetroMC logo. | |
| Header label | |
| Owner | Scout |
| Established | 2014 |
| Address | https://retromc.org |
{{Infobox
| abovestyle = background:#cfc;
| above = Infobox example
| image = [[File:Retromcnew.png|150px]]
| caption1 = [[RetroMC (server)|RetroMC]] logo.
| headerstyle = background:#ccf;
| header1 = Header label
| labelstyle = background:#cfc;
| label2 = Owner
| data2 = [[Scout]]
| label3 = Established
| data3 = 2014
| label4 = Address
| data4 = https://retromc.org
}}
Town infoboxes
You can make cool infoboxes for your towns like this (it will use the page title as the infobox title):
| Wiki contribution guide/Templates | |||
|---|---|---|---|
 Noggisoggi's avatar | |||
| Owner | |||
 Noggisoggi | |||
| Town Members | |||
| Noggisoggi | |||
| Assistants | |||
| Noggisoggi | |||
| General information | |||

{{Infobox Town
| image = [[File:Noggisoggi-bust.png]]
| caption = Noggisoggi's avatar
| owner = {{user|Noggisoggi}}
| members = {{user|Noggisoggi}}
| assistants = {{user|Noggisoggi}}
| established = July 30 2023
| status = Active or Inactive
| uip = No
}}
ℹ️ Notice: The first (or only) image set here will be your town page's og:image used in embeds and page previews.
You can abuse the Infobox and list multiple images, but this is not recommended.
| image = [[File:overview1.png|200px|alt=Cactus sky overview 1|Cactus sky overview 1]] [[File:overview2.png|200px|alt=Cactus sky overview 2|Cactus sky overview 2]] [[File:overview3.png|200px|alt=Cactus sky overview 3|Cactus sky overview 3]] [[File:overview4.png|200px|alt=Cactus sky overview 4|Cactus sky overview 4]]
You can list multiple members/assistants as well:
| assistants =
*{{user|jcheese7}}
*{{user|Pittofer}}
*{{user|Krissofer}}
*{{user|witorudo}}
*{{user|Grassboii}}
*{{user|Endeermaan}}
*{{user|Vyrvin}}

Describe yourself here – what you are, what you do on the server, and stuff, including a link to your J-Stats page.
== Backstory/history ==
Describe your experience on RetroMC here and anything related prior to you joining. As an... example:
I was bored once. But then I joined the greatest minecrap server on the galaxy named RetroMC and I was initially contacted by one of the [[UIP]] members or something and suddenly I'm now writing this very article on this wiki thing, so there's that, and uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah I'm now one of the greatest wiki editors on this very wiki fr fr
This is what happens when you start taking [[crystallitis]] in excessive dosages. Brain-rot-inducing-quote aside, here's a ''competent'' example:
I joined [[RetroMC (server)|RetroMC]] on August 16, 2022, and after reading through the signs at the <code>intro</code> warp, I ran <code>/wild</code> and explored till I found a desert near the world's border, and I settled here.
== Projects ==
Describe what projects you're taking on (complete, in-progress, cancelled, etc.)
Example: I work as one of the members in the Board of Directors at [[User:Noggisoggi/RetroMC Inc.|RetroMC Inc.]], providing ideas to rapidiously conceptualize the compelling bandwidth of new customers utilizing our Services™. We progressively customize our server for performance and offer 24/365 support and we–
Enough corporate nonsense; here's a competent example:
I work on [[ObsidianCore]], but sadly, [[Lexicon|the forces of reality]] call me too often these days, so I'm unable to work on it as often as I used to.
Insert anything else you wanna mention. Please use common sense though.
