Help:Setting Up Teams

Introduction
There is no tl;dr because this process is very sensitive, and if you do even one small thing wrong, nothing will work. Please read the entire thing!

The general outline:
 * Upload 2 or 3 images. The first two are standardized, a big square image & a 60x25px image. The third is an optional "profile" image to be used only on the team's page in the infobox.
 * Decide on a short name & the inputs that you want available for the team (i.e. what you can write with  to make it work).
 * Tell the wiki what the team's inputs & variables are in Module:Teamnames.

Naming Files
When you set up a team, the cornerstone variable is the team's link. 99% of the time this is the same as the name of the team, the only exception is when there's a disambiguation in the team's page title. For example, if there were 2 teams called Evil Geniuses, you might have the link be.

For the rest of this section, we will refer to the team's like as. The square image gets uploaded at, and the std image gets uploaded at. If you do a profile image, that goes at.

Please note that while there is no space between  and , you still put spaces within   normally.

Examples:

Square Logo

 * Minimum dimensions: 150x150px
 * Square dimensions required
 * Transparent background
 * The logo should take up as much space as possible without being clipped anymore (so only 1 of the dimensions should have extra whitespace, to make it a square)
 * Write  in the File Description at Special:Upload when you upload the file

Std Logo

 * Dimensions are exactly 60x25px
 * Shrink the logo without stretching it, it's ok for there to be whitespace in one dimension!
 * Transparent background
 * Omit any non-graphical part of the logo such as the team's name printed below an image
 * Write  in the File Description at Special:Upload when you upload the file

Profile Logo

 * This is OPTIONAL!
 * No requirements on dimensions or transparency or anything
 * Image should still be the team's logo & part of their branding, don't decorate yourself
 * Write  in the File Description at Special:Upload when you upload the file

If You Don't Have an Image File

 * Type in your URL directly, for example https://lol.gamepedia.com/File:This_Is_A_Fake_Teamlogo_square.png. Press "Create" and then type  . Save the page.
 * Then do the same thing for std logo - type in your URL directly, for example https://lol.gamepedia.com/File:This_Is_A_Fake_Teamlogo_std.png. Press "Create" and then type  . Save the page.
 * Because profile logos are optional, there is no need to do anything for this file.

Adding Display Variables
This is done at. There is some documentation provided on that page. Please read it!!!! You will have to define four variables:
 * Link, the location of the team page
 * Long, the full name of the team
 * Medium, either the full name of the team or a partially abbreviated form; must be max 12 characters
 * Short, a short tag, should match Riot's abbreviation if possible - max 7 characters, or shorter if the letters are wide

You also can define some inputs. Read the documentation at that module for more information.


 * Even though the module displays the source code, you still edit it by pressing Edit, the same way as you would edit any other wiki page.
