Player Info Pages on the Wiki
Posted: Tue Oct 23, 2007 1:58 pm
For a good example see:
http://www.arkaz.com/wiki/Sonja_Pyre
Now here's how it works.
Goto the wiki and create an account if you do not already have one. After that log into your account.
To add your entry (The Easy Way) goto Sonja's page
in the URL bar change Sonja_Pyre to your character's name...for example if you character is called Bob Bobber change it to Bob_Bobber
once you get the page loaded you'll be to an empty page that says there's nothing there..click on edit.
When the edit window opens paste in this default template.
For now don't worry about things like adding links and such. I'll clean it up later. For now I'd like to handle linking to other pages because I want to make suer we keep the format the same on everything.
Now you'll notice Sonja has a picture. If you'd like to add a picture of your character do the following.
1) take a screenshot
2) crop the screenshot
3) resize to make sure it's 135 × 207 pixel (Or Close)
4) save the picture as a gif or jpeg
4) log into the wiki and click upload file
5) browse to your file
6) name your file (Use your characters name)
7) click the upload button.
8) make sure there aer no errors (Ignore the error if it's just a autorename error)
9) in your character bio find the line:
| image =
10) change it to (For Example Sonja's Pic):
| image = [[Image:Sonjapyre.gif]]
That's it
Once you are done editing click preview to make suer it looks okay then save it.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask either me or Thor.

The top section (Player Info) is what builds the little box at the top with all the information in it. Under History put your players history{{Navi|World|Characters}}
{{Player Info
