User blog:Avnore/Property Templates

hi, av sucks so she's publishing this way before it's done. also can't explain for shit but i tried, sorry ;;

"How do I make a property template?"
—A common question from new users, and an important one at that. After all, property templates are a great way to digitally piss on your territory while also showing off your 2D waifu in a place where your family can't see and shake their heads at while thinking about where they went wrong.

But aside from saying "Hey! I own this page," property templates are also useful for a variety of other things. For example, you can run over a few personal rules, such as if and how your characters can be used in media such as fan-fictions, along with other things within the same vein.

Something to take note of...

 * Even if you have a "Do not edit this page" template, people still technically have the right to edit your pages, but only to fix grammar mistakes/categories/etc.
 * However, editing pages that have such a template without permission is often considered rude.

Examples
A few examples to start us off: (Yes, you're allowed to take and modify the linked codes to your specifications =D)

Transparent Background + No Border + Image
My personal preference and the kind I'm currently using.

rounded corners coming as soon as i figure that out :(

"ok av but you didn't answer the fucking question"
Anyway, assuming you're new to all this, it's best to begin by copying one of the above examples, or someone else's (as long as you have permission!)


 * 1) Go to Special:CreatePage. For the title, type Template:whateveryouwannanameyourtemplate. For example, my main property template is Template:AvnoreOC. Try to choose something easy to remember. If you don't like it anymore, you can always rename the template like any other page, but if it's on a lot of pages I believe you will have to switch out the out template name for the new one individually. I've never had to do that, but I bet it'd be a pain @_@
 * 2) PASTE THAT SHIT (in source editor) (see: https://imgur.com/a/m5WYT)
 * 3) Modify accordingly :D

And by "modify accordingly," I mean...

Personalizing your template
(It's really fun, I swear.)

FAQ
For any other questions, please add me on discord (tag in the aka section of my userpage), ask on my message wall, or send to my curiouscat.me if talking to people is a little intimidating. It's okay, I don't think I'm that scary. (Actually, am I? That would hurt...)

Also, googling won't hurt. Believe it or not, I'm actually really, really code-illiterate, and a more experienced coder could probably condense all of those examples up there into something better than the spaghetti code that it currently is. There are lots of great online resources, too.

My template moved the sidebar down to the bottom of the page!
You probably have one or more unclosed tags. Refer to jona.ca's unclosed tag finder for a little help, and close them from there.

If that doesn't work and you've tried several times, drop me a message. I'm lonely.

How do I change the color of links?
Avnore Replace "http://yandere-simulator-fanon.wikia.com/wiki/User:Avnore" with the page you want to link to, change "#f0adb7" to a hex code or color name of your choice, and replace "Avnore" with whatever text you want the link to appear as. The example above will look like Avnore.

(Honestly I used to use kisekae for this :9)

What does "link=" do?
Left one has link=, right one doesn't. Click both and see? Also, the value after the = can be changed to any link really. For example, this next image has link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdMZgpzxEPw, it'll link to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdMZgpzxEPw when you click it instead of the actual image.
