The New Greeters

The Guild of New Greeters, for a Better D'ni.

New Greeters links: Home | Wiki Index | Forum | Archive | News

This template is an infobox for ages. It has twelve parameters:

image: An image of the age. The image's width is by default 300px wide. Please note the appropriate formatting for images when using this template.
name: The title of the box is the name of the age. Usually this is the same as the name of the article.
writer: The name of the Writer who wrote the age.
writers: The name of the writers of the age, for ages with multiple writers. Do not use this with writer.
hahr: The hahr or year the age was written.
ecosystem: The age's ecosystem. Don't use this if the age's ecosystem category has not been created. If this parameter is used, name must be used too. It doesn't matter what value ecosystem has, as long as it is something. New Greeters, do not start new ecosystem pages unless they are necessary for walkthroughs.
type: The type of age. (i.e. "Large," "Garden Age," "Pod Age," ect.)
connected: Ages or places that link to the age or are linked to from the age. To make links to them, you have to put them inside brackets. Use only for appropriate walkthroughs or information articles.
phase: Restoration phase of the age. An unnecessary parameter for most articles.
released: Date the age was released to the public. An unnecessary parameter, listed only for documentation.
journal: Journal found in the age, about the age. Please list as a link.
journals: Journals found in the age. Use this instead of journal if there is more than one journal. Please list as links.
linkInPoints: List of link-in points. For simplicity, don't list the "journey cloths."

Example

{| style="float: right; width: 20em; background-color: #FFEECC; border: 1px dashed #FFCC66; padding: 0.5em;"
! colspan="2" style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 1em;" | [http://assets.openuru.org/wiki/newgreeters/KIimage0001.jpg http://assets.openuru.org/wiki/newgreeters/KIimage0001TN.jpg]

|-

|-
|}

yields:

Ae'gura
Type	Large
Link-in points	Many

Due to the way the OpenUru wiki handles image files, this template must be copied and pasted manually to achieve the optimum effect. You can add or remove lines of code as necessary. The full "Age" code used for Ae'gura is as follows:

{| style="float: right; width: 20em; background-color: #FFEECC; border: 1px dashed #FFCC66; padding: 0.5em;"
! colspan="2" style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 1em;" | [http://assets.openuru.org/wiki/newgreeters/KIimage0001.jpg http://assets.openuru.org/wiki/newgreeters/KIimage0001TN.jpg]
|-
| colspan="2" style="font-size: 1.3em; text-decoration: underline; text-align: center;" | Ae'gura

Which in turn provides the following:
