hey guys it's hits um welcome to a quick
well not a quick a little series that I
start up with here tutorials um I was
going to upload a complete sketch to IO
Kai today which was about 20 minutes
long but you'll see why I didn't upload
there in a minute um I thought I'd just
say that the mouse hooking volume in
this video is intensely loud and I
apologize for that but yeah um let's
just get right into the video
mmm hey guys it's Hicks um welcome to my
first saturday upload I did record
something before this but the audio came
out pretty horribly and you couldn't
hear what I was saying half the time and
then I was like aw screw it I'll just
upload it anyway
halfway through editing um the file got
corrupted somehow so ensued I'm going to
record this if you don't know what this
is this is a platform called wiki yeah
and well here most of you probably know
about Wikipedia well here is a platform
where you can make your basically your
own Wikipedia about something this is a
little wiki that I started up last week
that I've barely done anything on but I
thought I'd do this just because yeah
it's it's it's a lot better than I used
to do so basically when you want to make
a wiki you'd make a wiki account which I
do then you click on start a wiki but
I'm not gonna do that but when you're
creating a wiki you can name your he
choose your wiki's with address scene
stuff like that which you can all change
later on and then you can start creating
it so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna if
you see up here it says add new page
when you click on that say I want to
create a page on I don't know tour
toriel
actually there then you can see that
here article toriel's not fun but not
editing torial so you see you can just
do a normal text like real is a bunch
done um let's say you wanted to include
here let's just go through the basics
first four years ago but you probably
want to start it off with a hidden so
you go up here and you choose the
subheadings and other kinds of things
I'm gonna go
toriel um then this is something that's
basically used on every single item
character or anything else wiki page and
infobox so I want to show you how to
create an it for box you just click on
that add new template thing and I want
to create one for an item so I'm gonna
go so that you can't change this thing
here up here that's it's it's not that
info box itself it's actually the
template that you're using for that info
box so you can change all this later on
um so let's see what would you use on an
item type and amount and then click on
the row section headers which look like
that um that you can add another title
and you can add in another image box um
so type amount and buy and sell and it
click on publish I'm going to hold the
spider Ison publish and now you can see
that item will come and they'll cancel
until I want to delete this
I might incident infobox and it's
character basically when you're in here
title editorial because that's a name
and then I haven't really set this up in
a way that's gonna work I don't actually
have an image of photo let me just
really quickly get one click on this
little image thing here this is for
uploading an image upload and toriel
sprite uploading and I'm gonna call it
or you the world apply changes and I'm
gonna put a bottle of captions but
basically that's just something that
goes underneath your picture but I think
it makes it luckily it's a species
Munster jinda female just story
literally a female doesn't it she say
but I'm gonna say she's a female so its
face jinda you know for siding that
ruins apply changes so now you can see
yet so that's better
a little factorials actual swipe your
eyes are closer together oh my god okay
guys follow us on widget shops there we
go there we go toriel overworld let's go
one and then we'll rename and all that
later and I'll show you how to do that
and that's good okay finally now we can
get into this so I'm not actually gonna
um do the full puffing out everything
but I will just show you some basics so
let's say toriel is ah and i want to do
monster but i'm Wikia you want when they
see the wood monster it's like home look
a pedia they're like ah I wonder I want
to know more about that so what I'm
gonna do
when I type in Munster
at all I'm gonna highlight it I'm gonna
click on this link you can see that
monsters there you go done or if you
want it to be an external link like
opening it up a new page or a new tab
you'd go HTTP colon double forward slash
the name of your wiki a smiling
undertale - fat fan top will here comm
forward slash wiki forward slash and yep
but I'm just gonna do a monster done and
you can see that now that's linked to
the patient wants us when they see then
they click on its gonna look at each
monster but instead of having to
highlight it and link up every single
time you can just press double square
bracket like this symbol so press it
twice and you can go monster on it done
or you can just press when that's done
double enter so it looks a lot easier it
means you don't have to use your mouse
then when I'm satisfied with my page
I'll get into more details with it and
later on I'll click on save page and you
need to make a brief summary of what you
did this really only applies on big wiki
so that people can see if you've done
something feds I'm gonna say started
toriel page save the page then I'm just
going to leave because I know that's
gonna save so now you can see that but
see down here we want that to link don't
we we want people to be able to click on
that and then look that so I'm gonna do
is I'm gonna click on edit again and
then if you go up here you see that this
is three lines if you click on that
there's all these options and I want to
click on source editor you can see that
there's all of this gibberish stuff here
that you probably won't understand too
well you can see title 1 Torrio image 1
toriel overall wander pengie species
monster so I'm gonna do is gonna place
square ahead at the start and then
double closing square bracket at the end
and that's going to link it and then
same for the ruins apply changes and now
you can see that those two things are
linked so I'm going to go save page I'm
gonna go added links and Torrie old info
box
so if page now you can see that if I
click on this I've got a page called the
ruins because this is really small here
but now if I go home you notice how I
probably add it quite a lot of that drum
out but I uploaded a ton of photos that
didn't work for toriel so what I'm gonna
do is I'm going to go into photos and
just wait here's all the photos I've got
so I've got the frisk photo of what the
over warden pedal thing that's my ICO
file which we'll get into later and my
word mark and but I want to delete these
wonders I'm gonna click on it mmm and
then I want to go click on that
drop-down bar right there
I'm gonna go delete and I'm just gonna
go delete you can't add like a summary
for why you delete it but I'm just gonna
click on delete and you can see that
it's been deleted and I also want to
delete the other one that I uploaded not
replaced delete delete and now those two
files will be gone um yeah and the last
thing I wanted to show you was if you've
created your wiki I just wanted to go
through a brief just something of the
theme is almost closed um so your theme
is quite important it's how you'll heal
up so you can see there's all these
preset ones but they're not very good so
if you go
customize I've got a black background
change that to a white one that's not
really going to matter I don't think
because here my things an image and I've
got it on tile so it'll keep on like in
a tile of it
but if I don't click on tile it's just
going to be one and click on tile and
I've got real quickly change this to
read um so I've got all my buttons which
I like this this this those as red the
links so the actual things that you
click on to link to something else I
read and the header is red which doesn't
matter too much and you put your word
mark so I've got a graphic word right
which I found on the internet and it's
come up there and then I've got my
failed one you can just do like a basic
text word mark but I've got this and
your favicon which is if you see up here
I'm just going to drag this down you can
see on my tabs of what this and you
notice how Google Docs has got one as
well all moans come up as a heart so
what I did is I designed a 16 by 16
picture or I found one on the Internet
and it was downloaded as a PNG you can
see it says dot ICO file so what I did
is I just put into a PNG or basic image
- ICO file converter and it turned into
another on now it's my um little picture
at the top of my screen of hi I'm Penn
the table you can see theme designer
under self and look here um so yeah and
if you have it with what you've got you
can become safe I'm done and there we go
so that guy's was just a real quick
little basic intro to look here I'll
make another one probably on Monday and
then on Tuesday and Wednesday I'll do
Hudson a Miku and in a root oh for the
horrible speed
series yeah but if you liked it drop a
like I'll probably add quite a few more
parts to the series for people who are
looking for tutorials on work here and
yeah subscribe and I'll see you in the
next video
