Step One: Login

In order to make a page, you will need to be logged in with your forum ID and password.


Step Two: Make a Link to the Page

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.

  1. If you are logged in, you will see an edit button on Character Pages. Click on the edit button. You can click the edit button at the top, or the that's nearest the letter associated with your character's name (such as A for Agril). Doing so will take you to the wiki page editor.
  2. Once there, type in your character's name like this: [[My Character's Name]]. Be sure to type the brackets!
  3. Now, save and exit the editor.

Step Three: Create the Page

Now Character Pages will have your character's name in it as a red link.

  1. Click on that red ink. This creates the page for your character.
  2. Edit! 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.
  3. Before exiting the editor, be sure and include [[Category: Player]] at the bottom of your page. Alternately, you can use the Add Categories dropdown that will show up when you're in editing mode. This keeps the page editable. If you forget, don't worry too much--just page staff, and we'll fix it.
