HowToProfile

A handy-dandy FAQ page on how to create and edit profiles for our nice [MMFR] wiki!

Short and probably confusing method:

 * 1) Create the page you want.
 * 2) Copy the code from the pastebin link, paste it into the new page
 * 3) Fill in page
 * 4) Profit Publish
 * 1) Profit Publish

1. Create the page
You can do this by hitting the handy "Add New Page" button in the top right corner of any page.

Put in the character's full name - including any appropriate punctuation marks - as the page title. This should be the character's 'proper' or full name, not necessarily their in-game display name - i.e. I'd enter "Phineus", not "Phineus The Pwwka."

Hit the Next button and proceed to editing.

2. Add the Profile Template code
You can simply go to this pastebin link and copy the code.

3. Fill out boxes
This is the fun part, right? Pretty straightforward WYSIWYG editor, except for that sidebar/infobox - that gets a little weird.

Make the profile as detailed (or not) as you'd like - feel free to put in short info, you can always come back later and add more detail! Or update it to reflect new developments, etc.

3b. Where the sidebar gets a bit weird
Anyway hit Apply Changes again when you're done editing and marvel at your shiny new info bar.



When you are done with editing the whole thing, hit the Save Page button.

This brings up a mildly annoying prompt to enter a summary - leave it blank and just hit Save Page again.

4. Enjoy your shiny new character profile!
Proofread that thing but basically you're done. Yay!



Feel free to also add categories if you want - that's at the bottom of the profile page, just click and start typing. All profiles should at least go in the . There's also ones for species and factions.

or just leave it and I'll come along later and add profile links and categories lol

AND OF COURSE if you have any questions or get totally fucking lost beyond this, hmu
