How to Make Character Pages

1

Login. If you do not have a login, you may +request one from staff.

2

Add your character's name to Character Pages like this: [[My Character]]. Save, then click on your name (which is now in red). Be sure and do this from Character Pages (or your character will not show up).

3

Copy-paste the below template:
{{CPHEADER-START}}
My Character Name Goes Here
{{CPHEADER-END}}
 
 
{{CPSUBHEAD-START}}About My Character{{CPSUBHEAD-END}}
 
TYPE STUFF ABOUT CHARACTER HERE. 

[[image:my character.jpg|thumb|right]]
 
 
{{CPSUBHEAD-START}}Roleplay Hooks{{CPSUBHEAD-END}}
* Roleplay hook
* Roleplay hook
 
 
{{CPFOOTER}}

(You can see an example of what it looks like over here.) If you remove the CPFOOTER, you will need to add [[Category:Player]] or you will be unable to edit the page later.

4

If you'd like to link your character's page to temples and organizations they're tied to, select a category under the "Add Categories" section, below the editing window. Then click "add."

What this does for you is: if someone clicks on the Gileans link for example, they'll see your character listed.


Advanced Character Pages

We've made the advanced templates as copy-paste as possible. However, because they are advanced, staff does not provide support for these templates. Proceed at your own risk. If you like to tweak and customize, these are the templates you want to use.


1

Login. If you do not have a login, you may +request one from staff.

2

Add your character's name to Character Pages like this: [[My Character]]. Save, then click on your name (which is now in red).

3

Select a template you would like to use from the list below. Please note that staff does not provide support for these templates, so you must be somewhat comfortable with HTML and CSS before proceeding. The art used below is mostly from Paizo, with a few exceptions for clipart and so on. You may always substitute your own.

4

Click on "Edit" just underneath the wiki's navigation bar to view the template's source.

5

Place your cursor into the edit window and select all of the text. Use control-c to copy it. DO NOT EDIT THE TEMPLATE DIRECTLY.

6

Paste the code into your character's wiki page.

7

Fill in the template with your character's information. If you'd like to link your character's page to temples and organizations they're tied to, select a category under the "Add Categories" section, below the editing window. Then click "add."

What this does for you is: if someone clicks on the Altheans link for example, they'll see your character listed.


Help Others Find You

If you'd like to add your character to different listings (such as Altheans, Wand Crafters, and so on, follow the below steps. A complete list of categories may be found here, if you'd just like to see what's out there.

  2. Click "Edit."
  3. Use the dropdown menu to select a category you'd like.
  4. Click "Add."
