Transcripting is text-intensive so I find the classic editor source mode works best. The core template of transcripting is {{Talk }} and its subtemplates. See here for a list of all Talk subtemplates .
Example usage [ edit ]
Wikitext
Output
{{Talk/Aiken|text=Test 1}}
{{Talk/Rain|text=Test 2}}
Use the following syntax to depict multiple characters talking at once (such as in 518: Smexy ):
Wikitext
Output
{| class="parallel-talk"
| {{Talk/Aiken|text=Test 1}}
| {{Talk/Rain|text=Test 2}}
|}
Ky(lie) [ edit ]
Since Ky(lie) is genderfluid , the dialogue box used depends on if they're a guy, girl, or androgynous during the situation.
Wikitext
Output
{{Talk/Ky|text=Test}}
{{Talk/Ky|mode=boy|text=Test}}
{{Talk/Ky|mode=boy?|text=Test}}
{{Talk/Ky|mode=girl|text=Test}}
{{Talk/Ky|mode=girl?|text=Test}}
{{Talk/Ky|mode=androgynous|text=Test}}
{{Talk/Ky|mode=androgynous?|text=Test}}
To depict Rain normally, use the following template:
Wikitext
Output
{{Talk/Rain|text=''Test''}}
Since her text is generally italicized, italicize all of her text too, unless if she isn't using her female voice, such as when she is boymoding or if she is in extreme distress (e.g. 309: Not Like This ). If she only partially uses her femme voice in a piece of dialogue, itaclize the femme part only, such as in 76: Voice .
If she is shown before transitioning (like in 2: Prologue 2 ), use this template:
Wikitext
Output
{{Talk/Ryan|text=Test}}
If she is boymoding (such as in 254: Get It ), then use this template:
Wikitext
Output
{{Talk/Ryan2|text=Test}}
Other characters [ edit ]
Wikitext
Output
{{Talk/Other|name=Frances|text=Test}}
{{Talk/Other|name=Frances|link=Fara Bryer|text=Test}}
{{Talk/Other|name=Frances|image=Fara headshot.PNG|text=Test}}
{{Talk/Other|name=Frances|link=Fara Bryer|image=Fara headshot.PNG|text=Test}}
Unknown characters [ edit ]
Wikitext
Output
{{Talk/Unknown|text=Test}}
{{Talk/Unknown|name=Someone|text=Test}}
Common questions [ edit ]
Why does text that starts with a colon have it disappear? [ edit ]
: is actually used in wikitext to indent lines. To prevent this behavior, wrap the line, word, or the first colon with <nowiki>, like so:
Wikitext
Output
{{Talk/Rain|text=<nowiki>:hic:</nowiki>}}
