Familypedia:Wikia tour creation and improvement

Main Page creation
Your first substantive page (found from "Continue tour") should be Project:Wikia tour/Main Page. First paste in the following:

Main Page editing
Then edit the various fields of this template you just pasted in. The "namespace" and "page" refer to the namespace and page of the page this tour stop is viewing. For the Main Page, this is usually blank (ie "main") for the "namespace" and "Main Page" for the "page".

The "next" variable is the exact page name of the next stop in your tour. This does not have to be "about us". Change it to whatever you like. For example, you may want a featured article there, so change it to "Featured". (For an ultra-short mini-tour, make "next=End"!! But you'd better add a bit before linking to the main tour.)

The "commentary" is a description of the current stop. It can have links, paragraphs, and images, BUT NOT TEMPLATES.

Now more, one at a time
Click on the "continue tour" link and paste . Replace the stars with the correct variables (using the guidelines for "Main Page editing" above). (Namespaces other than "main" can be used, but "Category" will not display articles and subcategories at present.)

Keep doing this until you reach the end of the tour. ('No need to do them all now'; insertion of other pages later is fairly easy; several of our tours started with only the Main Page and one or two others.)

Last one for now
You should use "next=End" on the last page.

Your internal tour should now work. Try it. Link to it from your Community Portal or wherever (even from other sites).

Inserting new pages

 * Decide where you want one or more
 * Follow the "Now more, one at a time" paragraph above after you have modified the previous page (preferably copying its "next page" link for reuse below) to point to your (first) new one.
 * Your last new page needs to link to the next one in the chin - the link you replaced above.
