Deleting pages
- Currently users cannot delete pages. Please ask an admin to delete a page in #starbase-wiki in Discord or contact us otherwise.
User page template:
You can use this template when creating your user page. It creates an infobox where you can add a picture, and other information as well. Copy and paste it to the beginning of your user page.
{| class="infobox" style="float: right; clear: right; margin: 0 0 1em 1em; width: 300px;" |- | style="text-align: center; font-size: 90%;" |[[ADD THE IMAGE PATH HERE (Image:FileName.jpg)]] |- | {| style="width: 300px; margin: 0 auto;" |- ! colspan="2" style="background-color: #5794D5; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;" align="center" | <span style="color: #FFFFFF;"> TITLE </span> |- style="vertical-align: top;" |'''TEXT ON THE LEFT'''||TEXT ON THE RIGHT |- |'''NEW LINE OF TEXT'''||TEXT ON THE RIGHT |- ! colspan="2" style="background-color: #000000; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;" align="center" | <span style="color: #FFFFFF;"> NEW TITLE </span> |- style="vertical-align: top;" |'''TEXT ON THE LEFT'''||TEXT ON THE RIGHT |- |'''NEW LINE OF TEXT'''||TEXT ON THE RIGHT |- |} |}
