Help:Player Character Pages
From Wiccana AoC Server Wiki
Player Character pages are articles on the wiki about characters played by players in the game world, and are written in a neutral point of view. Characters on this wiki are listed on the Characters page.
[edit] How To Add a Player Character Page
Adding a player character page to the wiki is a three-step process.
- Create a new page on the wiki. The simplest way to do this is to use the "Create article" button on the Main Page. Type the full name or commonly known name of your character into the Create Article box. Hit the "Create article" button.
- The page after hitting the button will tell you that you are creating a new article. Find and click the button called "Character Page." Essential tools for placing the character on the wiki will be automatically printed for you. Follow the directions given on the page and fill out the list of fields, and add in any other information you wish.
- Click the Show preview button below the text box to see how your page will look. When you are done, click the Save page button.
You are done! The character has been added to the wiki and may be easily found using the Characters page. If you want to do more, feel free to edit the page further for formatting, links to other characters and stories on the wiki, or further information about people or things in the story. Make it look nice--it's yours!
[edit] Modifying Others' Character Pages
Character pages (as well as story pages) are special on the wiki. Anyone is allowed to edit a character page for appearance, coding, basic grammar, spelling, or punctuation, so long as the original style or intent is not lost. However, because they are the creations of one person or a select group of people, only the author(s) may make significant changes to the story page, unless the author(s) give permission to others. The author also reserves the right to revert their pages to their previous forms, unless a moderator deems the change to be necessary for the wiki.
Remember that you can use the Cleanup and Proposed Article Change templates to help edit pages if you are unsure of making the changes yourself, or believe the page needs significant changes.
