Hello fellow Magician fans. I want to share the procedure for creating a new Arc in case I'm not around. (One of my major goals is to leave enough documentation that other members can pick continue to run the wiki if I'm not around.)
Below I've laid out the list of steps that go into our wiki running smoothly. Adding a new arc is intuitive, but requires knowing which templates are involved. There is some overlap with chapters, so you can refer to this for that as well.
Steps for Creating a New Arc:
- Remember to update navigation in {{Range/Chapter}}
- Add dates to {{Date/Chapter}}, {{Date/Arc}}
- Add Arc to {{Season Nav}}
- Add Chapters and Arcs to Chapters and Story Arcs (I sometimes forget to do this)
- Add "...Arc Chapters" subcategories in arc order to Category:Chapters_by_Arc (follow the formula)
Then lastly is the obvious, actually adding the pages. Remember to use the Boilerplates[1]!
Did I miss anything? Please bring it to my attention by replying :)
I'll add on to this list when new templates are created or the procedure changes so remember to refer to this.
