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).

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.)

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 Altheans 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.

6

Paste the code into your character's wiki page. DO NOT EDIT THE TEMPLATE DIRECTLY.

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, check this out.


Character Page Modules

Add Graphics
To Add This Paste This
{{{1}}} {{ScrollBlank}}
{{{1}}} {{ScrollWriting}}
Line fancy01.png
{{LineFancyO1|300px}}
Line fancy02.png
{{LineFancyO2|300px}}
Ghoulish cp line.png
{{LineSkulls}}
Cp mod dice goblin.jpg {{DiceGoblin}}

Advanced Tip: You can adjust many of the image modules by adding a tag. For example: {{ScrollBlank|center}} or {{LineFancy|100px}}. Each module takes one tag. Available tags are: left, right, center, <size in pixels>. Lines come pre-centered.
