Help:Domains

From The Inquisition Legacy
Jump to: navigation, search

Moderating the Domains Portal involves the management of four basic templates: Featured Domain, News Outside Lithmore, Heraldry of the Month, and Did You Know?. Featured Domain and Heraldry of the Month should be switched on a monthly basis.

Everything beyond the skeletal frameworks of the templates are easily customizable.

Management

  • Featured Domain: The Featured Domain is used to celebrate a single domain from the Inquisition world. The majority of fields you need to fill out are found in-game by typing: "help domain (name of domain)". The image file is optional, and can be used to display an image of the Noble House's symbol or colors. Under "about", come up with a couple pieces of information that should be publicly known but aren't. When in doubt, talk to the Noble player in charge of the In-Character domain for ideas. Featured Domain should be switched out once per month.
  • News Outside Lithmore: The news portion is a gossip column for what is going on outside the game's physical setting -- this needn't be updated save where international news or gossip would be appropriate.
  • Heraldry of the Month: Once per month the moderator of the Domains Portal can choose to feature a replica of a specific Noble House's heraldry, using one of several online generators. These are intended as fun examples, not to force your choice of representation onto the Noble in question.
  • Did You Know?: The "Did You Know?" portion of the Domains Portal can be used to provide interesting facts about the game world outside Lithmore City.

Archives

When a Featured Domain, Heraldry of the Month, or other article is due to be removed from the Domains Portal, copy the raw text in its entirety and move it to the provided Archive (archives are found per-section at the bottom of the content).

Color Customization

  • Portal: To customize the appearance of the Domains Portal, navigate to Domains Portal and click "Edit" at the top right of your screen. This will open the editor and allow you to change the colors (using hex codes with the # symbol), the top bar, all four template header names, and all four content areas. The content areas typically link to external templates, allowing you to update the portal in pieces.
  • Featured Domain: To customize the appearance of the Domain of the Month template, navigate to Domain of the Month and click "Edit" at the top right of your screen. This will open the editor and allow you to change the colors (again, use hex codes with the # symbol), as well as the content.
