Character Creation Help

For those not familiar with Wikipages or how Fandom works, we're going to give you a simple step by step process on how to make a Wikipage.

## Step 1: Creating the Page

First off, you've probably noticed these set of buttons on the top right of the website. You'll wanna click the button to the far right that consists of three dots in a vertical line. Depending on your account, a few options may pop up, but to create a page, you're going to want to click with **Add new page**.

Once you click that, a new prompt will pop up asking you to decide a title for the page. When naming the page you're going to want to name it after the character. And for those of you who might be confused because the roleplay is anime themed or that the setting is in Japan, don't over complicate it.

Naming the page should be First Name then Last Name. Simple, right? Once that's all taken care of, click the ***NEXT*** button and it should open up a blank Wiki page with the title you selected.

## Step 2: Putting The Template on Your Page

When you reach this step, have a visible blank page that you can edit. But before you edit you may wanna make sure you have the necessary tables and tools needed to edit the page. Some might expect this to be a somewhat complicated process of recreating tables, inserting code, and possibly some googling of HTML code. But, believe it or not adding a template is very simple.

On the top bar, to the left of the gear wheel, you'll see a warning icon. When the wikia opens your new page for you, it should create a drop down that shows you available templates to use. When you click one, it should open up a new tab or window filling out the page if the template you've selected.

After this, you'll notice that the page looks a little different then most Wiki pages you've seen and this is a simple fix. Above the topbar on the right, there should be an eye icon. Next to that icon should be the words Source Editor. Click it, and you'll see another drop down to select from. Your going to select Visual Editor and click on it. After that your page should look exactly like the Character Template Page.

From this point, you can either begin to edit the page and put the information in about said character. The directions and guides for what you need to put in each section are already on the template itself.

Or if you're worried your internet might crash or the browser might glitch out. You can go ahead and click the save button, found on the bottom right of the editor. And don't worry, you can edit the page again even after it's saved.

## Step 3: Helpful Information

### Infobox

An infobox is that long table on the right that contains information about your character. To open the infobox is a very simple and easy to understand process. The first step, click the infobox.

    This won't open it up, but it will highlight the infobox and bring up a button that says User/NPC Infobox Template. Click that button and the infobox will open up to be edited. From there you can see every line of the infobox and plug in any information you need to. A neat trick to remember is that if you keep any particular line blank, it won't show up on the infobox.

### Image

The image section of the infobox, labeled image1, will likely need some explanation before you put your desired picture in. The first thing we need you to know is, do not click that yellow button next to it. Instead what you wanna do is view the text inside of it.

> {{Tabber|option1=Casual
>
>

> |[[File:NoPicAvailable.png|270px]]
>
>

> |option2=Hero|[[File:NoPicAvailable.png|270px]]}}
>
>

Here you see how the infobox displays two images, with one labeled casual as in how they normally look and one labeled hero, as in their costumed appearance. What you want to do is replace the image names in that string of text with the names of images that already exist on the wiki. In other words replace **NoPicAvailable.png** with any other image that's already on the wiki.

If you don't know how to get your image on the wiki, just look at this image.

## Step 4: Ask for Help

If you have trouble with anything along the way of this, or need help setting up something you don't know how to set up, feel free to message or ping any of the wiki mods on the discord server for help.

Once you finish editing your page and putting in all your relevant character information in after finishing this process, you should be good to submit it and wait for feedback. Hopefully all this helps you, and we look forward to seeing all the interesting characters and quirks you come up with to join into the roleplay.
