Media

How can I upload an image?

The page Special:Upload allows you to upload one image at a time. If this is insufficient, use the page Special:BatchUpload. Please be mindful of the fact that this is an independent wiki with limited server bandwidth, and large batch uploads can strain our infrastructure. If you start noticing lag or errors, please upload your files one at a time.

Templates

How can I create an infobox?

Piñata Journal's infobox template is very robust and extensible. The most basic infobox can be created using the following template text:

 {{Infobox
| name          = Example
| image         = Question mark icon.png
}}

This creates the following infobox:

Infoboxes can also accept parameters for journal descriptions that will appear below the image. See below:

 {{Infobox
| name          = Example
| image         = Question mark icon.png
| journal_entry   = Example journal entry
}}

Infoboxes can also surface journal entries from multiple different games. See below:

 {{Infobox
| name          = Example
| image         = Question mark icon.png
| journal_vp1   = Example VP1 journal entry
| journal_pp   = Example PP journal entry
| journal_tip   = Example TIP journal entry
}}

Example

Infoboxes can also take parameters beyond the usual journal entry text:

 {{Infobox
| name          = Example
| image         = Question mark icon.png
| example_parameter_1 = Example parameter 1
| example_parameter_2 = Example parameter 2
| example_parameter_3 = Example parameter 3
}}
