Story database

From SporeWiki, the knowledge base dedicated to Spore

Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about the community surrounding Spore, and not necessarily about the game itself.

Welcome to the SporeWiki Story Database. Here will be the full listing of all fanfic stories created by fans of Spore. If the stories are simply involving one of the creatures in the creature database, then it should just stay within that's creatures individual page.

[edit] Story List

See also the Fanfic stories listing.

[edit] How to add your story

There are a few steps to adding your creature to the database, if you have questions, post them on the Talk Page.

[edit] Add links to the list

If you'd like to add your creature to the database, simply edit this page and type this in one of the bulleted lists below, where Creature Name is your the name of your particular creature:

*[[Creature Name]] ([[Creature Name (Concept)|C]]|[[Creature Name (Game)|G]])

This will create 3 seperate links that look like this:

Each of the links serve a different functions and are created based on the SporeWiki:Seperation of Creations policy.

[edit] Create Portal Page

The first link is what's known as a Creature Portal. Creature Portals are a kind of disambiguation page that links to the Concept version of a creature, and the In-Game version of a creature. There is a standard format for these pages that looks like this, where Creature Name is your the name of your particular creature:

''This is a Creature Portal page for the '''Creature Name''' creature.
For more information on this creature, see:

*[[Creature Name (Concept)]]
*[[Creature Name (Game)]]

[[Category:Creature Portals]]
{{disambig}}

Depending on whether you are adding a Creature Concept, such as the Kazea or an actual in game creature like the Willosaur, you will follow the appropriate link that is on that page.

[edit] Add Info to your Creature Page

First of all, every creature page should have an infobox about the creature. To add the infobox, add this text to the very top of your creature's page and fill in the blanks. If you don't know any of these just put "N/A" for the parameter. You can also change the backcolor to whatever you like as long as it allows the text to be visible.

{{CreatureCreationInfobox|backcolor = #9999DD
|name = CreatureName
|image = N/A
|locomotion = how your creature moves
|environment = where your creature lives (water/air/land/more specific)
|diet = See [[Diet]]
|size = How big is it
|lifespan = How long does it live
}}

Directly after that, you can add all the information you like about your creature. You might want to look at the SporeWiki Manual of Style for some hints on how to set it up best.

When you are finally done, you'll need to add your creature to the appropriate category, and add the creature database template that will list all of the creatures on sporewiki for easy navigation between them.

If you are editing an actual in game implementation of a creature (if the page you are editing is of the form "Creature Name (Game)") then add this text to the bottom of it's page.

{{creaturedatabase}}
[[Category:Creature Creations]]

If you are editing a creature concept (if the page you are editing is of the form "Creature Name (Concept)") then add this text to the bottom of it's page.

{{creaturedatabase}}
[[Category:Creature Creation Concepts]]

[edit] Add your creature to the creaturedatabase template

This isn't required, and if you don't understand how to do this then don't worry, someone will come along and do it for you. You an make sure of that by editing in a note about it on your creature's talk page (discussion tab at the top). But if you wish to edit in your creature, simply find the section on the {{creaturedatabase}} template that it belongs in and add it in the same form that you added your creature to the list on this page. There is an "Edit" link on the template itself for an easy way to make additions.

If you have questions on formatting of any kind check out the editing page, or you can simply ask a question on this articles Talk page (the "discussion" tab above also). So show us your ideas, and have fun!.

[edit] Creator Userbox
