RedWarn 16.1 preferences
The RedWarn preferences menu as seen in RedWarn 16.1

RedWarn users can access their preferences by clicking on the More options icon at the top right of every page (unless modified) and then the preferences icon (). This opens up the preferences window, which is divided into several sections. Once you've made your desired changes you can either press the Save Changes button to save changes in that section or the save button in the top right (with icon) of the page to save all changes made.

edit

The preferences menu sidebar contains RedWarn news, a link to the Discord server and options to install or make Quick Templates.

On the Quick Template card, there are 3 buttons: "Install Quick Template Pack", "Get Packs", and "Create New Pack".

  • Install quick template pack opens up a new popup that gives you 2 options. One to "Install From Pack Code" and the other to "Cancel". If you continue by clicking "Install From Pack Code", an HTML alert will open prompting the user to enter a pack code for the pack they wish to install (see Wikipedia:RedWarn/Documentation/Quick Template).
  • Get packs opens the list of published quick templates in a new tab, which contains pack codes for quick template packs published by other users.
  • Create new pack creates a new quick template pack, only usable by the creating user. This template pack can later be edited and published.
