What error are you getting?

If you're using AutoWikiBrowser (AWB), make sure you've done the following:

• Set up a bot password for your bot account (see Using Special:BotPasswords for more info). The bot password name you choose (e.g., ReBot2@AWB) and the auto-generated password will be used for logging into AWB later, so set them aside somewhere. If you lose the password, you can always generate a new one via Special:BotPasswords.

• Optional: Give your bot account the appropriate role (e.g., Content Moderator or Administrator) depending on the editing permissions set in the previous step. Just like a regular user, your bot will not be able to edit protected pages or delete anything unless you give it the proper user rights.

To use your bot in AWB:

• Download and install AWB on your computer (see this section on the help page).

• Once it's downloaded, launch the program.

• Go to Options → Preferences → Site

• In the Project dropdown, select fandom.

• In the text field that appears, type the subdomain of your wiki (e.g., imposters-n-roles).

• Click OK to save your changes.

• Go to File → Log in/Profiles...

• Under Quick Login, type in the Username that was generated via Special:BotPasswords (e.g., ReBot2@AWB) and the randomly generated Password it gave you.

• Check the Save this account box to make logging in again easier.

• Click Login.

If the login was successful, you will see your bot account listed in the bottom-right corner of the screen in green.

For help on creating a list of pages and starting the bot, see the help page. There's also an in-depth manual on Wikipedia, which breaks down each section.

For the notice templates, if you're planning on them all following the same design, I recommend using a CSS class and adding it to your MediaWiki:Common.css.

You would remove the style="" and width="" attributes from each notice template, and replace it with something like class="notice-box".

Basically, this:

{| style="text-align:left; background:#00000050; color:#FFFFFF; border-radius:5px; border: 2px solid #e8fffa;margin-bottom:7px;" width="70%" cellpadding=2

Would become this:

{| class="notice-box" cellpadding="2"

In MediaWiki:Common.css, you would add:

.notice-box {
  background: #00000050;
  color: #fff;
  border-radius: 5px;
  border: 2px solid var(--theme-accent-color);
  margin-bottom: 7px;
  width: 70%;
}

var(--theme-accent-color) will use whatever color you specify as your accent color in Theme Designer as the border color. You can also use this to change the border color for your gallery images.

You could add var(--theme-accent-color) directly to each template too, but since they all follow the same design, using a dedicated class makes updating the design in the future much easier.

The issue is that the reference name c20ar has two different reference values. One of them specifies a page number and the other one doesn't:

• Amanecer Rojo, capítulo 20: La Casa de Marte (p. 5). primera

• Amanecer Rojo, capítulo 20: La Casa de Marte

Because the actual reference text doesn't match, that's the reason why there's an error.

To fix this, you can base the value of name on the data you provide directly in the {{Ref}} template. For example, {{Ref|AR|20|5}} might be named something like ar-c20-p5.

I created a reference template that may help, but it's based on a different book series, so you'll need to change the values to fit your needs. You can see it in action on my sandbox.

If you have any questions or need any further help, let me know :)

There's an extra semi-colon (;) in each column that you don't need. You can replace the semi-colon with valign="top", or delete the semi-colon and add vertical-align: top; to the existing style attribute.

| style="text-align:left;" width="30%" valign="top" |

Or

| style="text-align:left; vertical-align:top;" width="30%" |

There's an option for Tagalog under "Language of your wiki" when you go to create a new wiki :)

Yes, it's possible :) If you take a look at Template:Navbox Advanced, there's a few parameters to target specific groups.

The default style is defined with basestyle, which currently sets the first level of groups (DanMachi, Sword Oratoria, etc.) to a black background with white text.

To change the background of the DanMachi group:

|group1style = background: darkred;

If you want its subgroups to match as well, you'll need to update the groupstyle in list1 (because it's currently set to match the basestyle).

To change the background of the Sword Oratoria group:

|group2style = background: royalblue;

I'm so sorry, I skimmed over the part where it said you wanted to remove the border, lol.

Removing the border or setting it to transparent will be less work for you if you decide to change up the theme colors in the future :)

You can use this:

.portable-infobox.type-character {
  border: 0;
}

Or you can set --pi-border-color: transparent; if you'd prefer that way instead.

Sorry again, I think all I comprehended was "make the border black" and I just rolled with it ^_^;

Try this:

.portable-infobox.type-character {
  --pi-border-color: #000;
}

Portable infoboxes use a variable (--pi-border-color) to define the border color in CSS, so you can just overwrite it :)

It's a drop shadow. Sometimes the drop shadow is part of the original image, but on the Minecraft Wiki they apply this to all infobox images with this code:

.portable-infobox .pi-image img {
  filter: drop-shadow(0 0 5px rgba(0,0,0,.4));
}

For pagenames:

.page-header__title {
  font-family: 'Pixelify Sans', 'Rubik', sans-serif;
}

For second-level headings:

.page-content h2 {
  font-family: 'Pixelify Sans', 'Rubik', sans-serif;
}

You could apply Pixelify Sans to all level headings, but I'm not sure how readable it is in smaller sizes, so the second code snippet only applies to second-level headings (h2). Fandom uses up to h6, I think.

You can use AWB with non-English wikis, you just need to select a different option when connecting to the site.

• Go to Options > Preferences > Site

• Instead of selecting "fandom" from the Project dropdown, select "custom".

• Change the "http://" to "https://" in the next dropdown (this is important, otherwise you'll get an error when trying to login with your bot)

• In the input box, type backrooms.fandom.com/fr (or whatever your wiki's URL is)

After that you can login with your bot account and use it on the wiki :)

You can use HTML comments:

<!-- Your comment here -->

Anything within <!-- and --> will not show up when viewing the page, but it will show up in source mode when editing it.

Defining CSS variables like --right-rail-background-color always shows that error. There's nothing wrong with using them as they're already part of Fandom's base theme for all wikis. You can even create custom variables if you want :)

Please get rid of this part:

Play
Copy to Clipboard
div {
  display: inline-block;
  margin: 0 0.5rem 2rem 1rem;
  padding: 0.5rem;
  height: 100px;
  width: 190px;
  vertical-align: top;
  background-color: #222;

  color: #c11818;
}

div:nth-child(1) {
  filter: drop-shadow(16px 16px);
}

}

Also, for drop-shadow, if you define it more than once within the filter attribute, it allows you to layer multiple shadow colors. You can't really tell on your wiki since #ff0000 and #c11818 are very similar in terms of color (both are red, though the former is a bit brighter).

Since the header text/links are already red, setting the drop shadow to red without any kind of blur makes the drop shadow difficult to see, even though it is technically there.

The color attribute only affects text color, not background color. If you use the variable --right-rail-background-color like I posted above, it will change the background color for both the sidebar and the modules within it.

The sidebar can be targeted with the CSS selector .page__right-rail:

.page__right-rail {
--right-rail-background-color: black;
}

This would set the sidebar's background color and all module backgrounds to black.

You can put a background image there, but it may not look good unless you either:

• Add padding to each module

• Or make the module backgrounds transparent; however, this may result in readability issues depending on the image being used

There may be a better way to do this, but this method is what I use:

<format>{{#ifexpr:{{#count:{{{made_by}}}|<br>}}>0|{{{made_by}}}|[[{{{made_by}}}]]}}</format>
