Help With Adding Wikis to Portals
Hey Doom636! I try to check in on the Xenoblade Wiki on occasion; congrats on reaching on surpassing 2500 pages (which is mind boggling)! You're half-way to a red star. ;)

Anyways, I'd be happy to help. I remember going to Adan for the exact same help when I first started editing here. You're right, first go to Portal:Role_Playing_Games/Wikis, edit, and go into Source mode. Now each listing is in the format:

The first parameter, x, indicates the number of pages on the Wiki ("no" for >500, "yellow" for 500-999, "orange" for 1000-4999, "red" for 5000-9999, and "green" for 10000+). The second parameter, y, indicates the subdomain name of the Wiki ("pandorastower" or "laststory" for example). And the third parameter, z, indicates the subject matter of the Wiki ("Pandora's Tower" or "The Last Story" for example). Listings are alphabetical (minus preface words like "the"). Since the RPG portal is sort of off in it's display (because of listings that take up two lines) I'll go ahead and list them for you. But please feel free to list new ones you come across. -Revitalizer 21:41, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks heaps for that! I worked out that it had to be done there, but I pressed edit and it was just lines of templates which confused me. Then I went into source mode, and while I understood the stars and colours part, I had no idea what the y parameter was and I couldn't work out how it linked to the wikis. It made no sense to me.

Anyway, I get it now, and thanks again! J a k e ! 23:59, June 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I understand completely. :) It can seem a little obtuse at first. Anyways, no problem. I hope a few interested editors find those Wikis through the portals. -Revitalizer 19:57, June 5, 2012 (UTC)
