==Creating a new page==
-----
New pages can be created by using Wikilinks or the URL method (see [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page MediaWiki.org's Help:Starting a new page]), however, it will not appear in any of the tables unless properly indexed. For this reason, we recommend using the method below.

==Using the Form==
tables=Infobox_Vita_Homebrews
Go to [https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/Special:Forms Special:Forms], select the appropriate platform for the project (e.g. DS, 3DS, Vita).
|where= type="Action"
 
|fields= CONCAT('[[',_pageName,'|',title,']]')=Title, description=Description, version=Version, author=Author(s), lastupdated=Last Updated
Enter the name of the project. This name will become the page's URL. For example, entering <code>A Homebrew</code> will create a page with the URL <code><nowiki>https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/A_Homebrew</nowiki></code>
|format=dynamic table
 
|rows per page=500
Tip: It is recommended to add a platform suffix to the page name (e.g. A Homebrew 3DS) to differentiate between homebrews/ports for multiple platforms.

Creating a new page

New pages can be created by using Wikilinks or the URL method (see MediaWiki.org's Help:Starting a new page), however, it will not appear in any of the tables unless properly indexed. For this reason, we recommend using the method below.

Using the Form

Go to Special:Forms, select the appropriate platform for the project (e.g. DS, 3DS, Vita).

Enter the name of the project. This name will become the page's URL. For example, entering A Homebrew will create a page with the URL https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/A_Homebrew

Tip: It is recommended to add a platform suffix to the page name (e.g. A Homebrew 3DS) to differentiate between homebrews/ports for multiple platforms.

Click Create or edit to open the form.

Form fields

The form is split into two sections:

  • The top section with predefined fields. Data entered here is indexed for query.
  • The input box below for the main page content (see Free text).

Donation URL Infobox Optional.

Once you have completed the form and the free text section, click Save page to publish.

Image

Images are displayed in the infobox and under Gallery View. Please use images with the recommended dimensions for each platform.

They do not need to be the exact size, but they should have the same width-to-height ratio to avoid misalignment.

Platform Dimensions
Game Boy 320 x 288
Game Boy Advance 480 x 320
DS 256 x 384
3DS 400 x 480
Wii 640 x 480
Wii U 854 x 480
Switch / PS4 640 x 360
PSP 480 x 272
Vita 960 x 544
Xbox 640 x 480
PC Any

The recommended dimensions for Game Boy and GBA are double the original resolution. This is because an extension we use requires image to be at least 250 x 203 or 320 x 200.

Type

Category of the project. A list of them can be found in here:

Pages with a matching Type name (e.g. type="Media players" without type="") will be displayed in the generated table.

Free text

This is the main content area. Use this space to provide description, features, instructions, credits, etc.

See MediaWiki.org's Help:Formatting for help with wiki formatting.
