# Info for wiki-ers For meta about the glowfic wiki, including the opt-in list. # Author Opt Ins This is a list of authors who've opted in to having their content included on the wiki, who have declined to have their content included, or who have more complicated preferences than a flat "opt in / opt out". Each author's own words are in the last column and are what count; the other columns summarise them, and say ''unconfirmed'' until the author has checked them. When you edit a page about an author's characters or threads, the editor shows their preferences here as a reminder. To add yourself or change your entry, edit this page (see [[Template:Author opt-in]] for the fields). {| class="wikitable sortable optin-table" ! Author !! Public threads !! Logged-in only !!

These are subject to change, of course, and they're not absolutes - content can be organized other ways. # General Conventions This is a list of conventions about organizing the wiki. These are subject to change, of course, and they're not absolutes - content can be organized other ways. **Tagging** Most content should ideally be tagged. The emerging convention is for the tag to be a category, e.g. "author", and the tag value to be a specific instance of that category, e.g. "Alicorn". Authors, continuities, settings, and threads should be tagged with the authors involved. Everything can have multiple tags, including multiple tags from the same category. Some tags have specific pages on them, listing conventions and some common values. These are also in the 'Conventions' chapter. A list of all top-level tags currently being used is [here](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/tags), though note it doesn't currently give values used for those tags. (And of course some of these might be mis-tags or typos at any given moment.) **Important note:** Tags applied to a continuity should be usually applied to the top-level book for the continuity, not its subpages, so that what comes up when people search the tag is the continuity name. We don't want the search results for relationship=het to be twelve different pages all named "Reference"! Suggested tags include: - author (value: author name) - template (value: template name - author) (author should be noted in case of template name collisions) - group (value: group name) (generally for grouped templates or grouped minor characters) - character (value: character name (screenname)) - facecast (value: actor name) - circumstance alt (value: canon character name) - category (value: continuity, thread, setting, etc) - setting (value: setting name) - [setting-type](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/info-for-wiki-ers/page/tags-setting-type) \[on setting pages only\] - [character-trait](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/info-for-wiki-ers/page/tags-character-trait) \[on character/template pages only\] - [relationship](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/info-for-wiki-ers/page/tags-relationship) - [genre](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/info-for-wiki-ers/page/tags-genre) **Author Shelf** The convention for Authors is for each Author to have their own book. An Author may or may not have category-less pages like 'About X'. Common Author chapters are templates, with instances as alts within that template. ('Minor Characters' should probably be its own chapter). Other suggested Author chapters and category-less pages: - Related solo works by this author - List of settings this author writes - Recommended threads and continuities Note that page content can be mirrored between pages ([https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/user/reusing-page-content/](https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/user/reusing-page-content/)). Typically, things like "threads" and "settings" go on other shelves, but major examples could reasonably be mirrored (with the base example in the proper shelf). Information about a template as a whole, such as history, clusters, and attractors, can go in a "About (Template)" page within the template's chapter. One can also add a short (2-3 items) list of good introductory reading material for that template, suitable for getting to know what the template is like. **Continuity Shelf** The convention for Continuities and threads is for each major Continuity to have its own book, with subcontinuities in chapters and notable threads as pages. Subcontinuities might also have a summary page, a notable characters page, a related reading page, etc. We have not figured out a set convention for notable Sandboxes yet. **Settings Shelf** Generally, setting base pages should go over here, not in Author books, given that many settings have multiple authors involved. Fandom settings should get their own Book for the original fandom, with different takes (and common setting facts) in chapters. Settings or takes can be tagged with the involved authors. It's suggested for minor original settings to go in the "Original Settings" book, possibly with chapters by author for simple solo settings (e.g. "Kappa's Settings (Chapter)") and a page for each setting. Individual original settings that are more complicated than a single page, but not as complicated as a full book, can also have their own chapters. Simple collaborative settings can go in a "Collaborative Settings" chapter if the authors wish. # Tags: character-trait This is a list of conventions specific to the [character-trait](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bcharacter-trait%5D) tag, including a list of in-use or suggested values. These tags should ONLY be used when tagging templates or characters. This page is a WIP. In general, if a template is tagged with a trait, then characters within that template do not need to be also tagged with the trait (for example, Bells are tagged as worldfixing, so Demon Cams don't need also be tagged as that). When adding values, please also link the search for that specific value. #### Values (personality) - [murderfun](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bcharacter-trait%3Dmurderfun%5D) - [worldfixing](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bcharacter-trait%3Dworldfixing%5D) #### Values (queer) - [nonbinary](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bcharacter-trait%3Dnonbinary%5D) - [genderfluid](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bcharacter-trait%3Dgenderfluid%5D) - [trans](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bcharacter-trait%3Dtrans%5D) - [asexual](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bcharacter-trait%3Dasexual%5D) #### Values (uncategorized) - [plural](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bcharacter-trait%3Dplural%5D) (for characters who are part of or represent a plural/ multiple system) - [nonhuman](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bcharacter-trait%3Dnonhuman%5D) # Tags: genre This is a list of conventions specific to the [genre tag](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bgenre%5D), including a list of in-use or suggested values. Most instance of genre should be attached to stories; see [character-trait](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/info-for-wiki-ers/page/tags-character-trait) and [setting-trait](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/info-for-wiki-ers/page/tags-setting-trait) for categorization tags for characters and settings respectively. Many book genres like 'science fiction' are currently categorized as setting-traits. When adding values, please also link the search for that specific value. ### Values ##### Setting Interactions - [peal](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bgenre%3Dpeal%5D) - [single-setting](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bgenre%3Dsingle-setting%5D) (for when a fic takes place entirely within a single setting that its characters are native to) - [cross-drop](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bgenre%3Dcross-drop%5D) (for when a character is dropped, moved, or travels to another setting) ##### Plot Styles - [timetravel](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bgenre%3Dtimetravel%5D) - [peggy sue](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bgenre%3Dpeggy+sue%5D) (timetravel where a character travels back to their own past, landing in their own (or sometimes someone else's) body) ##### Other Genres - [angst](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bgenre%3Dangst%5D) - [romance](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bgenre%3Dromance%5D) - [gen](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bgenre%3Dgen%5D) (for works that aren't romance-genre; gen works can have no ships, or ships but a non-romance-centric focus) - [pre-ship](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=+%5Bgenre%3Dpre-ship%5D) (for when a fic ends or is abandoned before the main ship gets together) - [hurt/comfort](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=+%5Bgenre%3Dhurt%2Fcomfort%5D) - [hurt no comfort](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bgenre%3Dhurt+no+comfort%5D) - [fluff](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Bgenre%3Dfluff%5D) # Tags: relationship This is a list of conventions specific to the [relationship tag](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Brelationship%5D), including a list of in-use or suggested values. The value of a 'relationship' tag can be either a specific relationship or a 'relationship type' (e.g. 'femslash) that's notably present. Note: whether a thread/ continuity/ etc is romance-centric or gen should be tagged under genre. When adding values, please also link the search for that specific value. #### Values by Relationship Type Guidelines: - If one or more characters in a relationship is genderfluid, then use all applicable types (e.g. a female character dating a male/ female genderfluid character can be tagged all of 'femslash,' 'het,' and 'nbslash.') - Polyamorous ships should be tagged with 'polyamory' and then whichever slash type fits the links in question (e.g., a male character dating a female and a male character can be tagged both 'het' and 'mascslash'). Characters involved do not all have to be dating each other. - Tagging here should be by the characters' genders as actually instantiated in the thread, not by their template-norm gender. - Nbslash can be tagged for any relationship where one or more characters is nonbinary The values: - [femslash](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Brelationship%3Dfemslash%5D) - [het](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Brelationship%3Dhet%5D) - [mascslash](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Brelationship%3Dmascslash%5D) - [nbslash](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Brelationship%3Dnbslash%5D) - [polyamory](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Brelationship%3Dpolyamory%5D) #### Values by Specific Relationship **Guidelines:** - The standard format is "relationship: Template A/ Template B" - Tag characters by their template in alphabetical order. Only list them here if the standard tag doesn't follow "A/ B" in some way (out of alphabetical order, non-A/B ship name, etc). - If a relationship has a ship name in a format other than "Template A/ Template B," the standard value is "ship name (Template A/ Template B)". - Characters without templates can be tagged by just their character name. - Authors of the characters in question don't need to be specified unless there's ambiguity. - This can include tags for canon-character relationships which apply regardless of which authors are involved or if some characters are circumstance alts (e.g. "Wangxian"). Those tags can be listed here even if they're in the standard A/B format, since they're inherently unusual. - Add ships to the list in alphabetical order within their category. This list is WIP, though (by intent) not all relationships will be listed on it. ##### Glowfic Characters/ Templates - [murder gfs (Ellie/ Fate)](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Brelationship%3Dmurder+gfs+%28Ellie%2F+Fate%29%5D) - [power couple (Lily/ 2B)](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Brelationship%3Dpower+couple+%28Lily%2F+2B%29%5D) ##### Canon Characters - [Wangxian](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/search?term=%5Brelationship%3DWangxian%5D) # Tags: setting-trait This page is WIP.

Wishlist suggestions: - meta page displaying all tags that've been used, automatically updating (sorted by tags and tag values?) - [https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/pull/1354](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/pull/1354 "https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/pull/1354") I can bring this feature in if this solves your issue - Asterisms - Update: That PR is \*not\* sufficient, [/tags](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/tags) exists but needs more work. - Asterisms - A way to grab existing metadata on threads and characters (Setting, character lists, nicknames...) from the constellation, maybe by entering the relevant url, rather than needing to hand reenter it. - Would it be sufficient to have this as a separate webpage rather than integrating it into this interface? - Asterisms - A way to edit just the tags on a page. - This is underspecified, what does this do that Edit Page doesn't? - Asterisms - I meant like... a quick-edit button for tags? without leaving the actual page. It's definitely not a must-have, though. -Manya - A way to tag many things at once. - Would something like "do an exact text search on all pages and add tag:value if string is found" be sufficient here? - Asterisms - hm, I was mostly thinking of like... "tag all pages in this book/chapter with tag:value", but that might work - Manya - a pop up when activating a template for a page that warns you it'll overwrite anything already typed into the draft - A template for Table of Contents or other fic-navigation stuff. (-Cakoluchiam) - [Example ToC](https://glowficwiki.noblejury.com/books/planecrash/page/table-of-contents-fan-made "Planecrash Table of Contents (Fan-made)") - Include in template: - Source of the ToC (e.g., glowfic.com thread list, or fan-made) - List of contributors - Open text field (e.g. for describing the rationale behind the ToC) - At least 3–4 levels of hierarchy: (names customizable) 1. Continuity/Series/Book (could be relegated to the title/header of the wiki page maybe?) 2. Volume/Thread/Book (in the sense that in print it would be one bound volume, like a novel, ~50,000–150,000 words) 3. Act/Section/Book (in the sense that a physical book often has multiple "Books" denoting thematic or temporal shifts, ~10,000–50,000 words) 4. Chapter/Scene (in the sense of an easily-digestible/narratively-contained chunk one could read in a sitting, ~1,000–8,000 words) - Author(s) for each entry - Alts/templates (I don't know if this should be per entry or at the top of each page? Maybe spoilered? -Cakoluchiam) - Word count for each entry - Spoilered summary for each entry - Non-spoilered summary/indication of where the section ends, to assist read-alongs - Standard icon/indicator/format for tag permalink on glowfic\[dot\]com - Standard icons/format for permalinks to external sites (e.g., projectlawful\[dot\]com) - if the total content of a Page is less than some reasonable amount (idk, 250 words?) display it in its entirety on the Book view so that they're more readable as single multipart documents? -Nym Wishlist suggestions considered completed: - Add Another Page button from an existing page - New Page button added below Edit. - Asterisms 14.01.2021 # Main Page The Glowfic Wiki is a reference for [glowfic](https://glowfic.com), the collaborative fiction written post by post on glowfic.com. It collects the continuities, settings, characters and authors behind the threads, so you can find out who someone is, catch up on how a setting works, or see where a story fits. Anyone in the community can help. New to editing? Start with the [editing conventions](http://127.0.0.1:8472/books/info-for-wiki-ers/page/general-conventions), and check the [author opt-in list](http://127.0.0.1:8472/books/info-for-wiki-ers/page/author-opt-ins) before writing about someone else's characters. # Main Page/Featured **[Effulgence characters](http://127.0.0.1:8472/books/imports/chapter/efflugence-characters)** — 389 character pages from the old Effulgence Fandom wiki now live here, along with the Effulgence and Incandescence world pages. Many are stubs: if you know a character, help fill them in. # Using templates and wikitext This page explains the two ways to write pages on this wiki, how '''templates''' work, and how to pull live information from [https://glowfic.com glowfic.com] into a page. See also the [[General Conventions|editing conventions]]. == Choosing an editor == Every page can be written in one of two editors. You can switch at any time from the '''Editing Page''' menu at the top of the editor. * '''WYSIWYG''' (the default): edit the page as it looks, with a toolbar for formatting, links, images and tables. * '''Wikitext''': write MediaWiki-style markup, like on Wikipedia or Fandom. Choose ''Switch to Wikitext Editor''. A live preview is shown beside the text. Switching converts the page; nothing is lost, though complicated formatting may come out slightly differently. == Wikitext basics == {| class="wikitable" ! You type !! You get |- | ''italic'' || ''italic'' |- | '''bold''' || '''bold''' |- | == Heading == || a section heading (also listed in the page's Contents) |- | [[Isabella Cullen]] || [[Isabella Cullen]] |- | [[Isabella Cullen|Golden]] || [[Isabella Cullen|Golden]] |- | [https://glowfic.com glowfic] || [https://glowfic.com glowfic] |- | * item / # item || a bulleted / numbered list |- | [[Category:Witches]] || adds the page to [[:Category:Witches]] (shown at the bottom of the page) |- | #REDIRECT [[Isabella Cullen]] || (as the whole page) sends readers on to another page |- | Text.Source. || a footnote, listed at the end of the page |} === Links === [[Title]] finds the page with that title anywhere on the wiki, or a book, chapter or shelf with that name. If several pages share a title, readers get a list to choose from; if a title matches character names (like [[Bella]]) the wiki lists those characters automatically. Links to pages that don't exist yet show in red — follow one to create the page. == Templates == A template is a reusable piece of a page, like an infobox. Templates live in the [[:Templates|Templates]] book; each template's page shows its parameters, an example and where it's used. Use one by writing its name in double braces, with parameters separated by |: {{Character Infobox | full_name = Isabella Marie Swan Cullen | known_as = Bella | world = [[Aurum]]}} Changing a template updates every page that uses it. To write your own, create a page in the Templates book and use {{{name}}} where a parameter goes ({{{name|default}}} for a default). Notes for other editors go on a page called ''Template name''/doc. Templates also work in the WYSIWYG editor: type the call (like {{Stub}}) as ordinary text and it is filled in when the page is shown. In WYSIWYG pages you can also include another page with {{@123}} (its id), and pass it parameters: {{@123|name=Bella}} fills {{{name}}} in the included page. == Live information from glowfic.com == These blocks fetch information from glowfic.com and refresh it daily. In the WYSIWYG editor, use the '''Glowfic''' button on the toolbar; in wikitext, type them directly. === A continuity's threads === {{#glowfic:board|38|limit=5}} — the number is the one in the continuity's glowfic.com address (glowfic.com/boards/'''38'''). Every continuity book on this wiki has a ''Threads'' page built this way. {{#glowfic:board|38|limit=5}} === A character === {{#glowfic:character|luminous_regnant|limit=3}} — by screenname or id. Shows their icon, aliases and threads they appear in. {{#glowfic:icon|luminous_regnant}} gives just the icon, handy in infoboxes. {{#glowfic:character|luminous_regnant|limit=3}} === An author === {{#glowfic:user|Alicorn|limit=3}} — by username or id: moiety, character templates and recent threads. {{#glowfic:user|Alicorn|limit=3}} === A single thread === {{#glowfic:thread|219}} gives {{#glowfic:thread|219}} == Lists that keep themselves up to date == Information written into templates can be queried. For example, every character whose Character Infobox says template = Zevi: {{#query: Character Infobox | where = template=Zevi | fields = known_as, world, wb | labels = Goes by, World, Writer}} {{#query: Character Infobox | where = template=Zevi | fields = known_as, world, wb | labels = Goes by, World, Writer}} Conditions: field=value, field!=value, field~=part, combined with ;. Other options: format = list, links or count; order = field (add desc to reverse); limit; exclude = current to leave out the page you're on. [[Category:Help]]
