Template:RT Family Footer/doc


 * For how-to regarding the footer, please start a new topic on Template talk:RT Family Footer or [//c.fandom.com/f ask for general help in Discussions] (linking to this doc – sorry CC).

The Rooster Teeth family footer, herein referred to as the RT Footer, was created after the establishment of an initial charter published on the Rooster Teeth Wiki on June 28, 2016. The program was overseen by a loose interwiki staff assembly consisting of administrators from the Rooster Teeth, Camp Camp, and Internet Box wikis.

The footer was entirely redesigned on October 2017 to match Rooster Teeth branding design.

Features
The RT Footer matches general Rooster Teeth branding color schema, but otherwise includes several CSS classes for some granular customization of the footer by individual wikis on each site's Common.css.

Users who interact with the footer may be able to learn more information on another wiki's subject by simply clicking on a wiki's favicon within the footer – they will be greeted with a thumbnail and brief summary on a participating wiki's subject.

How to add your wiki
If your wiki is affiliated with a Rooster Teeth project or the Roost Podcast Network, feel free to add the wiki to the footer.

The footer is made up of multiple different templates, (2) of which are to be directly edited and (2) others used to create the new wiki entry.

The general process to add a wiki follows:
 * 1) Edit [ RT Family Footer/wikis] and add a new link entry for your wiki. Add your entry in the appropriate section (i.e. "shows", "let's play", or "other").
 * 2) * Example entry:
 * 3) Edit [ RT Family Footer/desc] and add a new description entry.
 * 4) * Example entry:

Sub-templates

 * Listings
 * These templates are lists to be directly edited when adding a new wiki:


 * shows
 * Contains a collection of links to individual wikis, split into (3) different lists: RT-produced animated & live action shows, "Let's Play" group affiliated, and uncategorized (other). Uses the  template to generate wiki links.
 * RT Family Footer/desc
 * Contains a collection of text descriptions about individual wikis. Uses the  template to generate wiki description entries.


 * Data entry
 * These templates are used to create new entries in the listing templates:


 * &lt;wiki name&gt;
 * Generates a link to a wiki.
 * Example favicon link from Wikia CDN: https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/rwby/images/6/64/Favicon.ico
 * &lt;wiki name&gt;
 * Generates a text description for a wiki.
 * [thumbnail image] (optional): An image hosted on, using standard wiki link syntax (omit "File:" & " " from link). (e.g. "RT Wiki screwattack.jpg")

CSS classes & customization

CSS classes allow customization of the footer.
 * ID for the &lt;div&gt; container that encapsulates the entire footer.
 * Class for the &lt;div&gt; that acts as the main body of the footer.

Alternatives

 * These alternative footers are not actively maintained by this project and may become out of date.


 * Template:RT Family Footer/Simplified
 * Simplified version of the footer made in 2017, released coinciding with the main RT Footer redesign. This version is without the interactive elements found in the redesign, skirting a dependency of MediaWiki collapsibles & streamlining the process of adding new wikis.
 * Template:RT Footer alt
 * A separate branch of the RT footer created in 2019 with minimal styling, akin to the RT Footer's original design. Created by gen:LOCK Wiki staff for use solely on their main page, but otherwise remains an available option for other wikis.
