==Adding a Spoiler Card== | ==Cards== | ||
Cards exist on AA in two ways, one is as the card's page (sometimes referred to as the "display page"), the other is the data page (often called the CardData page). The CardData page acts as the database entry that feeds into the display page. If you're looking to edit a card, the problem is most likely in the CardData, not the display page, so focus effort there. If you're creating a spoiler, see the process in the next section. | |||
===Adding a Spoiler Card=== | |||

# You're now creating the card view page (what most people see when they look at AA). Cut and paste this into the card page, updating "yourcardname" with the name of your card: <nowiki>{{#invoke: luacard | viewcard | cardname=yourcardname}}</nowiki> | # You're now creating the card view page (what most people see when they look at AA).

==Rules, FAQ Entries, and Commentary== | |||
Rules get manually updated whenever a new rulebook comes out. The rule text gets edited directly on the rule page itself. Usually this is an update that I'll do, just because it's easier as a one person job. | |||
FAQ Entries and commentary get entered into a database in a method similar to the way CardData pages are made, but it's just one long page of data entry stuff. In that data, you can list the pages where you want the information to appear. (The card's display page or the rules entry handles the actual rendering of that data.) | |||
==Tournament Data and Pretty Much Everything Else*== | |||
These are all just single articles and can be edited however needs to be. Most of these follow a general standard that is easy enough to copy from the existing information on the page. If there are any questions, feel free to ask. | |||
==*Lore== | |||
Hoo-boy. If this is something you're interested in contributiing too, you are a brave brave soul and are commended. It's a big project and before just diving in, it's a good idea to get a good handle on overall wiki organization and presentation. If this is something you're interested in, have a discussion first to try to keep the effort focused and functional. | |||
