Welcome to the Tony Chase Wiki! If you are reading this, you are likely interested in editing or contributing to the wiki. Thank you for your willingness to help; If you have any further questions or need assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to the community. Happy editing!

General Rules and Guidelines

Before diving into editing, take a moment to read the brief but crucial Rules.

Neutrality
- Try keeping your writing unbiased and preface if something is debatable. Keep in mind this is not irrespective of the truth.
- Avoid expressing personal opinions (this is allowed most times if it's in a joking manner).
- Always cite your sources. Unsourced content may be subject to removal. (If you are unable to source, e.g., deleted or lost video, please add the template "More Citations Needed").

Provide Detailed Information
- More details enhance the quality of the content. However, consider readability.
- Include comprehensive information about incidents, including full transcripts, descriptions, comments, etc. This ensures a complete understanding of events.
- This rule applies solely to Tony Chase. Refrain from delving into the personal lives of his family, friends, or professionals involved in helping him. Respect their privacy.

NSFW Content
- Tony Chase has been associated with NSFW content. Document it here, but never upload or embed explicit material.
Language Usage
- Cursing is acceptable in articles, but maintain professionalism and relevance.

New Pages

Before creating new pages, take a look below and make sure you understand these guidelines.

Content Adequacy & Relevance
- Creating a page more every minute topic on Tony can be confusing and a misuse of resources. Try your best to include information in other articles before making a new one.
- Here's a checklist for making a new article. If none of these are true, then please feel free to make a new article:
  - Is this content already in another article?
  - Can this content be in another article?
  - Is there enough content to warrant an article?
  - Is this topic relevant enough to Tony Chase warrant its own article?
- If content is in another article, keep in mind you can make redirect pages that redirect a search to a certain section of another page. This can be done with:
  - #REDIRECT [[target page]]

Categorization & Consistency
- Here's the template to assign a category:
  - [[Category:Example Category]]
- Categorizing helps organize this wiki
- Keep in mind that some Amboxes and Infoboxes automatically assign categories

Titling Pages
- Follow APA formatting rules when naming articles
- Try optimizing titles for search rather than style

Infoboxes, Amboxes, and Templates

How to insert a template

First, click on **insert** then **template**

Infoboxes

An infobox is an informational box used to quickly and concisely present information about a character. While these are specifically designed to be open-ended, there are some general rules/guidelines with them:

Keep it concise
- Infoboxes are meant to quickly present information, being overly wordy can nullify the whole point of an infobox
Keep in mind there are only for characters/organizations
- While an infobox for other characters/organizations might exist in the future, there aren't any as of now.

Adding parameters

On the right of this, you can see parameters. This are variables that present information about a character.

The use of these are pretty self-explanatory, but one thing to keep in mind is to not leave parameters blank. If you do not need a parameter, disable it by unchecking it (pictured to the left)

Amboxes

Amboxes (article message boxes) are disclaimers that go on articles that are meant to quickly display warnings about articles or context about the information in them.

Here are all of the currently existing amboxes and their respective code:

{{SpecialMessage|Text=This is a special message for added context}}

{{CW}}

{{Doxxing}}

{{Stub}}

{{More Citations Needed}}

Video Embeds

There are three different embed templates, ArchiveVideo, YoutubeVideo, and Html5media. Unforunately, the {{YoutubeVideo}} template does not work. Luckily, the <youtube> tag is functional, so if Youtube embeds are required, it is highly suggested that you use the <youtube> tag instead of the {{YoutubeVideo}} template.

Updated 10/24/2024

When it comes to embedding content from the tony chase archive, please use the template and if possible always use archived content instead of the YouTube alternative.

ArchiveVideo

Code example: {{ArchiveVideo|videoURL=https://tonyy.us-southeast-1.linodeobjects.com/tonyy.us-southeasssssssst-1.linodeobjects.com/TonyChaseArchive/Youtube/20210101-they%20claimed%20they%20are%20prettier%20than%20me%20and%20claimed%20their%20penis%20was%20better%20than%20mine%20and%20plus.mp4|title=they claimed they are prettier than me and claimed their penis was better than mine and plus|alignment=center|width=640|height=360|caption=Tony Archive videos can also be resized/change alignment, just like YT videos}}

they claimed they are prettier than me and claimed their penis was better than mine and plus

Tony Archive videos can also be resized/change alignment, just like YT videos

Youtube

Code example: <youtube alignment="center" width="640" height="360">QLNRiGS73O8</youtube> They can also be resized/change alignment.

Html5media

Code example: {{#widget:Html5media|url=https://tonyy.us-southeast-1.linodeobjects.com/tonyy.us-southeasssssssst-1.linodeobjects.com/TonyChaseArchive/Youtube/20201003-video%20games.mp4|width=640|height=360}}

Other Templates

Template: Quote

	“	Text	„
