In order to make a page, you will need to be logged in with your forum ID. To login to the wiki, use your forum username and password. If you can't seem to login, check to be sure you can login to the forums, as your account may not have been approved yet (check: did you apply with your character name so we know who you are?). If you can log into the forums, try clearing your cache or changing your forum password. If neither of these work, please page Lolth, our serverwiz.

To make a character page, you will first make a link to the page. This is the way wikis work--it prevents "lost" or unlinked pages. What this means is that the first thing we will do is make a link on [[Character Pages]]. If you are logged in, you will see an [<nowiki>edit</nowiki>] button on that page. Click on the edit button that's nearest the letter associated with your character's name (such as A for Agril). This will take you to the wiki page editor.

You can put anything on this page that you wish, so long as it's related to your character. You may even upload an image, share part of their backstory, and so forth.
