Creating a Page

Creating a page is actually really easy, but considering all the buttons it is completely reasonable to be lost at first. Here we will just walk you through the basics on how to create your own page for this site.

## Walk Through

In the top bar housing the Wiki's title and navigation, there is a smaller bar next to the amount of pages consisting of three icons.

* For users who are logged in, select the icon that resembles a page with the bottom left corner folded.
* For anonymous users/users who are not logged in, the icon should appear the same but may also say *add* or *add page* instead. Regardless, the icon should be in the same spot.

Select this icon.

Next, a box will pop up asking to create the title of your page.

* If you are making a character page, it should be titled the first and last name of your character.
* If the text you enter shows up red or simply does not allow you to select *next* it is because there is already a page with this title.
* If you are creating a page for another aspect such as house, location, religion, side character, a background character related to yours, etc. please let the admins know beforehand to prevent any future hassle when they go to make a page.

After successfully creating your page, you will be taken to said page. It will not technically be created or saved until there is any text. With this in mind, if you do not want to type out everything just yet or come back to it later, you can enter something such as *to be written* and then click save. Once saved, the page is officially created.

   On every page, there should be a small button with a pencil and *edit.* Whenever you wish to add to your page, click this button and it will open the editor for you. This is especially important to know if you wish to create a page but not add to it immediately.

Another vital step to page creation is adding categories.

At the bottom of every page, there is a bar that looks like the image displayed. This is how navigation works on this Wiki and how a number of pages or articles will be located.

* The word *Community* is displayed because that is the navigation in which this page falls into.
* You can add multiple categories to a page. When adding them, make sure they are the appropriate one (i.e. characters should be tagged with *Characters* and their last name, which is also their house. Their last name/house will tag them directly under their house with other members who are also apart of that house).
* See: Viseris Targaryen and scroll down to his categories for example.

    By clicking on the *add category* button as displayed above, you will then be able to type in the category you want to add. Press enter when the word is complete and it will be added to the bar. Click save as you would when editing and you are done.

A few things to remember:

* Be sure that the tag you are spelling is spelt correctly. Otherwise a new category with your spelling error will be made.
* Check the tags you want to add your page to so that you do not miss anything and your page can be navigated with ease.
* If ever unsure, ask an admin! You can contact us via Instagram DMs or leave a comment on the Help page.

## Other Ways to Create a Page

There is a few other ways to create a page. However, the ways listed are not as open and free as the previous walk through. For the sake of keeping things less complicated, we are only going to go over the main alternative.

Sometimes you may notice red text. This means that the text is a link but has not been linked to an existing page or external link.

* By clicking on the red text, you will be brought to the same editor used for creating pages. Just like the last few steps in the walk through, add some sort of text and click save. Both the page and link will be made.
* However, this alternative is for creating a direct link and will often name the page after the link rather than allowing you to title it. This is why we recommend using the walk through method unless you are editing a page such as Religion or Baratheon for example.

When editing other pages aside from your character, you are more than welcome to use this linking method. Often, this link method is used on pages providing information and mention something such as a location or house. The link allows readers to go to that page and read up on the item rather than guessing what the first page is about. References of this can be found throughout this page as well! See how Viseris Targaryen, Help, Religion and Baratheon were linked above?

If you are unsure how to create a link when typing:

* Highlight the word you wish to link to a page.
* Select the link icon in your editor toolbar then select the page with that word and it will link. Select done.
* If the word becomes red, it means there are no existing pages with that title. Just click done.
* When you save your page, the word will remain red. Click that red word and follow the steps explained with the linking method!
