Log Formatting

Firstly, if you are reading this page we'll assume you are logging an event or scene that you were involved with or ran yourself, so for that I'd like to personally thank you! Logging might be a chore but it makes OtherSpace look great (busy busy) and some players really appreciate being able to see what kind of fun everyone else is getting up to. Secondly, it's also possible you're reading this because you want to follow a consistent theme in the scenes you are logging. Thanks for taking the time to keeping things looking great and keeping the wiki looking consistent. Also, in a big way (a BIG way) my obsessive, control freak nature would like to thank you a third time. Mucho mucho <3's - James.

Formatting your Title

Obviously, it will be on you to invent an appropriate title for your log (and trust me, it will be on you, unless you want a poorly punned parallel film title). If your log is split into different parts, however, it's common syntax to use a colon and a alphanumerical designation, like so:

Title: Part 1
Title: Part 2

Of course, you can use comma's and Roman numerals if you like.

Title, Part 1
Title: Part VII
Title; Part Three-Hundred-and-Ten

...but I will chase you down and murder you.

Example InfoBox

Log Title

Summary: A summary of the events can be entered in this section.

Cast: People can be entered here.

Air Date: There is no specific date syntax, but the IC date is recommended.

Setting: Location

This is where the logs setting can be described. It is common for this to include a description of the room the event was held, but could also be used to hold an introductory pose.

Contents: Exits:
this is for the room contents this is for the room exit

Exploitable Infobox

You can copy and paste this into the top of your log.

[[Category:OtherSpace Logs]]
{{Infobox Log
|title = 
|summary = 
|cast = 
|air_date = 
|location = 
|setting = 
|contents = 
|exits = 
}}
