| Whenever you add content in an adventure, you should try to give as much detail as possible on these pages. Other GMs may wish to make use of these people and places later on, and it is these pages they will use to ensure consistency with their version of the NPC or place and yours. This is also why it is important to accurately tag adventures, as it makes it much easier for later GMs to know what has happened up to now. It is always embarrassing to kill off a major bad-guy for the third time... | Whenever you add content in an adventure, you should try to give as much detail as possible on these pages.

| + | ===== Creating and Editing Pages ===== | ||
| + | If you have permission to edit a page you will see an "Edit" button in the top-right hand corner. All users have permission to edit their PC pages and Player Request pages. They can also edit anything in the "Resources" namespace, this is used for adventure summares, NPC descriptions, and Geography descriptions. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In order to create a page there are two main methods.\\ | ||
| + | You can edit a page and create a link to the page that you want to create. For example, if you were creating a new NPC page you would type: | ||
| + | [[resources:NPC:Example_NPC|Example NPC]] | ||
| + | The first half of this is the link to the page you are creating, while the second part (everything after the "|") is how the link will appear on the page. So for example, you might instead want to add a rank to the description, but not the page, incase your NPC gets promoted later: | ||
| + | [[resources:NPC:Example_NPC|Corporal Example NPC]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | The other method is to navigate straight to the page you want to create by typing the address straight into your browser. To do this for the above example you would type in | ||
| + | http://mementomundi.chaosdeathfish.com/resources:NPC:Example_NPC | ||
| + | |||
| + | In either case you will find yourself on a page stating "This page does not exist". Simply click the "Create" button in the top right hand corner, and start editing your page. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you want to experiment with editing pages you can use [[:playground:playground|the playground]]. While this is a good opportunity to experiment with editing the wiki. Traditionally this also doubles as a space for graffiti and humour. | ||

| ===== Tagging ===== | ===== Tagging ===== | ||
| The wiki uses tags to help cross index related pieces of information. For example, if someone adds an NPC member of the Graves family, then by adding the tag "family_graves" to the page, that NPC will be listed alongside all the other Graves PCs and NPCs on the Nobility page. As such, it is important to tag as thoroughly and accurately as possible. | The wiki uses tags to help cross index related pieces of information.
