Admin Forum:How do I make a Role play Forum?

Hi, can someone PLEASE help me? I started a Roleplay wiki and I have NO IDEA how to make a roleplay forum! I REALLY need some help! Thank You! Dragongirl1111


 * I would say base it off The 39 Clues's roleplaying wiki. By the way, congratulations on making the 59,800th page! Iggyvolz 00:28, March 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Please give a link to your wiki.


 * Well, there are 4 basic steps to making a forum: 1) Pick a category name like, 2) make a preload forum header template, 3) make a forum new post entry box and list page, and 4) add you new forum to the Forum:Index page list.
 * Make sure when you pick your category name (like ), that you use it consistently and don't say something slightly different like "Roleplaying forum" when you named it "Roleplay forum".
 * To make a preload forum header, you would make a page like Template:Forumheader/Roleplay forum (use the same name as your category) with wikitext source code like this:




 * Next you need to make your forum new post and entry page, like one called Forum:Roleplay forum. The wikitext source code would look like this:

 Forums: Index &raquo;

 * Your forum should basically be working now. So now you need to link it at Forum:Index.
 * Your should have some wikitext source code that looks like this:


 * You now just need to add the listing for your new forum after one of the  tags by adding wikitext source code like this (the important part is consistently using  ):

 namespace=Forum category=Roleplay forum title=Forum:Roleplay forum shownamespace=false addlasteditor=true
 * That's it! If you understood what needs to be done, please give a link to your new forum setup and we can help fix problems or finish setting it up. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 29 Mar 2012 11:56 AM Pacific
