Wiki Creation Walkthrough

Thanks to the generous assistance of User:Darc, TowersWiki has the Template:LokiCharPage wiki construction kit available for use by our players. Of course, use of this template is not required: if you're good with MediaWiki and CSS, you're more than welcome to build your characters' pages from the ground up. For those who would prefer a slightly more plug and play experience, however, using the template is much easier. While the template itself provides some basic instruction, this page will show you the process step by step.

• For the purposes of this tutorial, we'll use Anne Bowesly, the Ventrue Prince of London, as our sample character. You can refer to her page as we continue through the process.

• First, you'll need a wiki account. One will be automatically created for you upon character approval.

• Once you have an account, log in (using the box in the upper right corner), and navigate to: https://towersmux.net/towerswiki/CharacterName -- in this case, https://towersmux.net/towerswiki/Anne_Bowesly. Use underscores (_) in place of spaces. If there's nothing there, select the option to create the page. If there is already content there, then you may need to choose a different name for your character's wiki page. Alternatively, if it's a page for a character who has been retired, idled out, etc., please speak to someone on staff so they can move the old page out of the way.

• One way or another, you should now have a blank editbox. Copy and paste the following:

         {{LokiCharPage 
         | fullname=Your Character's Name Here
         }}
         [[Category:Characters]]

Click "Save Changes", and you should see a very basic page with several red links. Now we'll need to fill in some content!
