Help:Directory of Alliances

Adding an Alliance

Adding an alliance is a 2-step process. First add your alliance to the Directory of Alliances page like this (preferably in alphabetical order):

{{alliance|Your Full Alliance Name}}

Save the page, and you will see a link on the page like this:

Your Alliance Name/information

In another tab/window, go to template:alist and copy the default example to your clipboard. Navigate to the link for your alliance information, and edit the page. Paste the empty template into the new page. Adjust to your needs and save. Your alliance should now be listed.

Adding/Removing Contacts

This section is a template inside a template. The format is as follows:

|contacts  = 
{{alist contact|title=|name=|forum=|icq=|gtalk=|msn=|aim=|skype=|email=|note=}}

The fields for alist contact are straight forward. title and name are mandatory fields, all others are optional. There is no limit to how many contacts can be listed. If contacts is to be left blank, then remove the <!-- contact list --> comment.

Example:

...
|contacts  = 
{{alist contact|title=FA|name=somedude|forum=10|icq=555-555-555|gtalk=|msn=|aim=|skype=|email=|note=prefers ICQ}}
{{alist contact|title=President|name=Anotherdude|forum=666|icq=555-666-555|gtalk=|msn=|aim=|skype=|email=|note=}}
}}

Forum PM Link

This is the only field which may need a little explaining. The value of forum is a numerical value which corresponds to a user's forum ID number. This number can be found by going to the forum user list (must be logged in) and finding the user you want to link to. Click on their name; The URL in your browser will contain a string like: ...?forumset=Earth&memberid=1234. This number is what you want to enter in alist contact, ie: forum=1234|
