Help:New Character

Create a Character Page
Probably the easiest method is to navigate to where you want your character page. Typically you will want the page to be named after your character's exact in-game name, not your full in-character name. You can either click on a red wikilink of your character's name on another page (assuming they've already been listed elsewhere), or type the name into the navigation bar as http://kirintor.wikia.com/wiki/Charactername. Other ways to create a new page are described in Help:New page.

You should now have a standard MediaWiki edit window that looks something like this:



Add a Character Infobox

 * 1) Open Template:Biobox in another tab/window.
 * 2) Select the empty template in the Usage section and copy it into the edit window.
 * 3) Fill in the two required values: faction (Horde or Alliance) and game_name (your exact in-game character name).
 * 4) Delete any fields you do not wish to display/use.
 * 5) Fill information in the remaining fields - try to keep these short!
 * 6) Use the Show preview button to check your formatting and links

The infobox will always float on the right-hand side, no matter what other sections you put into your character's page. For a more detailed description of all of the infobox fields, see Template:Biobox. You can use links and text formatting in the infobox, but remember that it is meant to be a readable summary of your character, with the more detailed descriptions in the page body.

Your character page in the edit window should now look something like this:



Add More Information

 * 1) Look at Character Sheet Template for ideas of what should go into a character page
 * 2) View other characters' pages (see Category:Characters for a list) to get ideas.
 * 3) Start with some basic sections like these, and fill them out:

Stories
Your character page in the edit window should now look something like this:



Automatic Story List
Template:Storybox automatically categorizes your stories if you use it on a story page; you can automatically list your stories on your character page (instead of maintaining it manually) by adding the following code to your stories section (replacing "charactername" with your character's name): This is an automatically generated list.
