Making a character page

So you want to make a wiki page for your character? Neat, here's some help. You may also want to look over Editing Help.

Step 1: Making the Page

Type the name of your character into the search bar exactly. If a page doesn't exist for your character, you'll be brought to a no-results page. Find the link to edit the page, or to create the page, they both do the same thing. Congrats, now you've got a big blank text field.

Step 2: Adding Templates and Categories

You'll want to apply some templates and categories to get your character page working right. Please pull the code that is listed on template:character. After copy/pasting the blank template code, fill in the information after the equals symbols on each line. Please do not include links or other wiki code into the input fields for Country or Race, as this will screw with the automatic categories. This text will be auto linked by the template in a way that does not mess with the categories.

You can skip filling things in if you want, but it will be left a blank field on the infobox. For a character portrait, you'll need to upload an image if you don't want the placeholder. The upload link can be found to the left of your screen. You don't need to do any fancy code once you've uploaded, just type the name of your file into the template in place of the placeholder's name. Remember your .png or .jpg tag.

You may need to apply a category if the character is a knight or noble. Check out Category:Ranks And Titles for the list of currently existing titles.

Step 3: Writing The Article

Please keep an impartial tone, one suitable for an encyclopedia. This isn't your story, its a 3rd person story about someone who happens to be you. Suggested topics include: character history, accolades and honors, inter-personal relationships, and more.
