How to create a new page

Step 1
Creating a new page can be done in one of two ways.

Method #1:
You navigate to the page that you want to create. Let's say you want to make a page for your character 'Billy Joe Noodles'. Just remove everything past /wiki/ and write out 'Billy Joe Noodles'. The resulting URL will look like this: http://sevenkingdomsrp.wikia.com/wiki/Billy_Joe_Noodles

From there, click on the option 'create article' and then you can get started.

Method #2:


Click 'contribute' at the top right hand corner and follow it up with 'add page'. From there, I recommend that you pick the 'blank page' option.

Step 2
Now that you have your article started out, you can begin exploring how to edit. You can find basic templates to get you started right here.

Due to the nature of wikia, I recommend familiarizing oneself with using source mode. Source mode is a toggle-able option that you can access. You can edit articles from either interface but getting used to source mode is recommended due to the 'visual' edit UI's limitations.



Step 3
Now, you can truly begin to edit. There is one very simple way to do it:

Copy pasting from one of the base templates available here is by far the easiest method to get started. Simply open up either the example character or faction page, click 'edit', then 'source' and copy everything there.

Now, move back to your own page in another browser tab, click 'source' and then paste everything into that page. From there, you can begin moving things around at your leisure and fine tuning things.

As of right now, the infoboxes can ONLY be edited via their source. Thankfully, this is easy to do, just fill in the information with your own character's info (replace their age, origins, title, etc).

After you've edited the infobox, you can swap over to visual edit mode if you'd like to get a better perspective of what your page looks like or simply because you prefer the other interface.

Step 4
Tweak your pages as you please. Add screenshots, add quotes, stories, etc. One cool thing about wikia is that you can make something called sub-pages, which is very handy for when you don't want a story directly on your character page. Simply follow your URL up with something else to create a sub-page. You can then link that sub-page on your main page if you'd like to show off your stories in its own little category that isn't your bio.

The URL would look like: http://sevenkingdomsrp.wikia.com/wiki/Billy_Joe_Noodles/Private Diary
