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. |

Step One: Login
In order to make a page, you will need to be logged in with your forum ID. If you're having trouble logging in, please see the Wiki Help in the Getting Started section.
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. If you are logged in, you will see an [edit] 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.
Once you have clicked edit, you will type in your character's name like this: [My Character's Name]. Now, save and exit the editor.
Step Three: Create the Page
Now Character Pages will have your character's name in it in red. Click on this link. This will create the page for your character.
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.
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.
