Help:Article Conversion

With the conversion to the new Portable Infobox format and the merge with Beywiki, many articles are in need of being converted. Below, you will find a number of guides to help make your conversion experience smoother.

How to: Create a new article using a Page Layout
Beyblade Wiki now supports article creation using layouts that we have prepared in advance. These layouts follow our new Standard of Editing and we expect all articles, new and old, to follow these layouts.

Upon page creation, the New Article Text at the header of the editor will update to include our import buttons:



Clicking any of these buttons will automatically import the layout you have selected, complete with categories and templates. All you need to do is fill in the gaps!

How to: Convert older infoboxes to our new style
Over the years, Beyblade Wiki has used multiple different infoboxes. With the introduction of Wikia's Portable Infobox system, we're moving away from all of our old templates and towards newer templates. However, these templates use renamed variables and will require you to enter them in the new format.

Examples
We recommend that users visit our Article Layouts list for quick reference on the layouts of these templates, or the dedicated pages for each template:


 * Template:Character Infobox
 * Template:Beyblade Infobox
 * Template:Part Infobox
 * Template:Location Infobox
 * Template:Episode Infobox
 * Template:Chapter Infobox
 * Template:Season Infobox
 * Template:Tournament Infobox
 * Template:Special Move Infobox
 * Template:Misc Infobox
