Help
I thought it might help to put up resources on how a wiki works, and how mediawiki specifically works.

For JKR's question, I believe what we need are infobox templates made, but I don't know what if any the current wiki has. The only template I've seen so far is Template:Trivia, and I'm not sure why that exists...either way, I'm writing two infobox templates, one for comics and one for characters.

Okay, I finished designing the infobox for comics, let me know if there's anything I should change or add. I'm not entirely sure what to include in the character infobox, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

I've been messing around with AP aspects, filling out timelines for some characters, issues, and character thumbnails. First, may I suggest that some differentiation be made for the character thumbnail grouping and the more expansive individual pages. While the more expansive listing can be reached through the "Cloud" you have to drill down through the Ay Papi page to find the thumbnails.
More importantly, I've kind of stumbled around learning Wiki style and techniques, and find there are many variations. Is there a style book, set of instructions, etc that is used in JAB Wiki? For instance, how do you place and wrap text around images? I've found one way, but ...
Cheers

I'm not sure about a style book, perhaps there may be one for JAB's wiki, but like you most of what I did was learn by going to MediaWiki. I think that is a good starting point, however, it would be good to setup a how-to page in the wiki for others to follow.
