How to contribute

Anyone can edit and contribute to the Randomcraft wiki. We invite anyone who knows information about a subject to add it to its page or create a new page for it if it doesn't exist yet. Randomcraft is always Random so we aim to make the Randomcraft Fandom a place to read about all the crazy goings on of Randomia (yes, we know... no-one is sold on that name) and we need you to help contribute!

If you do not know how to edit but want to contribute you can learn below, or if you'd prefer you could just comment your knowledge on the relevant page so a wiki editor can add it.



Creating & Editing Pages


How to edit a page
There are two ways to edit a page on the Fandom wiki. The easiest way is to use the visual editor, the visual editor will look like a word processor application with a toolbar to change the page text format, insert images, links, and so on.

The alternative way to edit a page is by using the source editor, this is more advanced but isn't difficult once you understand the formats. Formatting in the source editor uses the same markdown used across many wiki sites.



Tables
Many pages include organized tables such as the episode lists. These tables are best edited in the source editor, here is an example of a table as it would appear in the source editor:

This would display a 3 columned table (Episode, Image, Description). the " | - " on line 6 indicates a new row. The "| }" on line 10 indicates the closing of the table. So if we wanted to add a new row with a new episode in, we would write the following:

This snippet would be added after line 9 (the episode 1 description). Making the new table look like this: To learn more about source editing visit: https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Source_editor

All tables are set up the same way using markdown, so once you familiarize yourself with the format, you will be able to edit tables like some sort of wizard. 

Templates
Randomcraft fandom uses templates to make editing simpler. you can view all of the templates in the special pages section. These templates can be called by using the following code:

Using bracers "{{" you can search for specific templates to load onto whatever page you are editing, so for example, if you were wanting to put the template "Template:Nav/Randoms" below you would type:

This would then be rendered on screen like this:

{{Nav/Randoms}}

How to add episode thumbnails
The easiest and best way to add thumbnails is to use Thumbnail Grabber. Simply put in the URL to the Randoms Youtube episode and click to download.

Before uploading the thumbnail, it is best to rename it so the Randomcraft Fandom library stays neat and organised. To do this simply rename the downloaded thumbnail when uploading it to "[random-name]-s#e#" so if you were uploading a thumbnail for Sir Derpol's season one episode 2, the file would be renamed to "SirDerpol-s01e02".
