Character Page Tutorial

So you want to make your own character page, and you want to use the same nifty layout you've seen on most of the other pages, eh? Well, luckily, it's not that difficult.

For our examples, let's say your character's name is Bob -- that's the name you log in with -- and his full name is Robert Quincy Roberts.

• First, create your own page one of the following ways:
  • Search for your name (in this case, 'Bob') in the search box to the left, then click on 'create this page', or
  • Paste http://www.masq.org/index.php?title=Name&action=edit into your browser, replacing "Name" with your name -- i.e., http://www.masq.org/index.php?title=Bob&action=edit

• Paste in {{subst:PC|Full Name}} -- in this case, it would be {{subst:PC|Robert Quincy Roberts}}

• Click the 'save page' button at the bottom of your page.

Okay! You've completed step one. You'll probably notice that instead of the nifty array of information, though, your page has a lot of links to things like Bob/Infobox. That's what we'll do in step two.

• Click the edit tab on your own page. Scroll down, and you'll see a list, "Templates used on this page", and below it each of your sections, with its own (edit) link behind it.
• Click (edit) behind Name/Allies.
• Paste in {{subst:Allies}}
• Save the page.
• Click back to the edit tab of your main page.
• Repeat the above for each subpage, pasting in the following:
  • Name/Description: {{subst:Description}}
  • Name/Gallery: {{subst:Gallery}}
  • Name/Infobox: {{subst:Infobox|Name}} (i.e., {{subst:Infobox|Bob}}
  • Name/Introduction: {{subst:Introduction|Name}} (i.e., {{subst:Introduction|Bob}}
  • Name/Playlist: {{subst:Playlist}}
  • Name/Quotes: {{subst:Quotes}}
  • Name/RP Hooks: {{subst:RP Hooks}}

Be sure to go back in to your Gallery page and change the names of the images -- i.e., Name1.jpg to Bob1.jpg, and so on.

If all's gone well, you've created your page! Now get to editing in the proper information!
