Tutorial
Welcome. This page exists to help teach newcomers how to contribute to the Johnisdead Wiki. MediaWiki allows for much more freedom than Fandom. However, with this added freedom comes less structure. It's up to the users to create this structure themselves through templates, CSS, and smart design.
Basic Article Functions
The no-brain basic shit
Editing the Johnisdead Wiki requires an account. The wiki does not support anonymous editing due to vandalism. Once an account has been created, users can begin contributing to the Wiki. In order to edit a page, simply click the "Edit" tab above an article.
To create a new page, type "https://johnisdead.withinhubris.com/" into your address bar followed by whatever you want the article to be titled. If that page does not already exist you will be able to create it yourself.
The tabs above an article also allow you to view/restore previous page versions or move pages to new URLs.
Article Etiquette
More like edit-quette, am I write?
Character, terminology, video, and website articles each have an ideal structure that we should try and adhere to. This will keep our Wiki tidy and the information more digestible. However, what is most important is having this information archived at all. While this etiquette is something to strive for, it should not take first priority. Articles can always be cleaned up at a later date if needed.
The following pages are templates for the ideal structure of various article types:
For more general etiquette that is universal to Wiki articles as a whole, refer to the following:
Linking
The first time the name of another article comes up within a section of a page, it should link to said article.
Story
Tyler met John, Kevin, and Jacob at an early age. However, due to various conflicts with the Lunar Children, these connections fell apart. Kevin and Jacob both became involved with the Lunar Children, while John was killed by them.
Personality
Tyler often comes off as paranoid and reclusive. This is understandable, given the fate of his friend John at the hands of the Lunar Children. However, following the death of John, he became more committed to uncovering the truth of the cult.
