Hi,
my biggest obstacle currently is that the friend of mine who created the new wiki does not respond to my questions. He told me before that he is not online everyday and it seems I caught the time slot where he's away. So I thought to try it alone today and was not as successful as I wanted.
@HumansCanWinElves I found my mistake and the template now looks like this:
https://die-ultimative-dc-datenbank.fandom.com/de/wiki/Vorlage:Vorlage_test_dc_archiv_01
The wiki page with the entries now looks like this:
https://die-ultimative-dc-datenbank.fandom.com/de/wiki/Test_03
So I managed to transform your work onto my pages. Two questions are now on my mind:
1) The link before the inbox starts - does it have to remain visible or can it somehow be made invisible ? It bothers me.
2) How can we separate the eleven inboxes into or onto eleven wiki pages ?
@TableWiz I'm going step by step through your post:
1a) create a database
I made a template where I copied the source text starting with "explode":
https://die-ultimative-dc-datenbank.fandom.com/de/wiki/Vorlage:Template_test_04
There is nothing to see when I finish the editing but I don't know if that's ok or not.
1b) "image below the actual spreadsheet"
This part I haven't understood completely.
You posted a link for an image of the spreadsheet.
I can open the link and copy the image and click the down arrow on my Fandom page, but there is no VisualEditor to click on.
Here is the link to the Fandom page:
https://die-ultimative-dc-datenbank.fandom.com/de/wiki/Test_04
and here's an image what I get when I click the down arrow on the EDIT button:
2) create an infobox to display the database
I made a second template where I copied the source text starting with "infobox":
https://die-ultimative-dc-datenbank.fandom.com/de/wiki/Vorlage:Template_test_04
I think at least here it's not ok that I don't see anything after finishing the edit.
3) create pages
I created
https://die-ultimative-dc-datenbank.fandom.com/de/wiki/Test_04
and managed after several times trying to link the two templates to this page.
I changed
{{Comic
| switchword = Black Lightning Vol 1 1
}}
into
{{Template_test_04
| switchword = Black Lightning Vol 1 1
}}
and pasted this text into the source text editor. Not much to see on the page but I think the reason is that my template pages are not right.
I understand that we need these three texts to create pages. The third text has to be put into the source text of the page itself and accesses the text on the second template. The second template accesses the first template.
I'm not sure if you can see the source texts on my three pages or if you need administration rights to do so. If you need administration rights we either have to wait for my friend to respond or you have to guide me to give you administration rights.
I want to apologize for being such an absolute beginner but I find the way how wiki works very unlogical. For example, creating a new template was only possible for me after I clicked on everything I could find on the page. When I finally found the hidden command it makes absolutely no sense to hide it there. Especially if it's a command which is apparently needed to create pages.
