Editing the Wiki

Do not be afraid of making mistakes! The editor is very easy, don't need to know a mark up language. If you can format a Microsoft Word doc, you can do this. It is possible to edit on ones phone, but it is easier on a desktop computer.

How to add your character's biography to the wiki: (this is just one method)

1. Go to 'character template page' (https://beholdersgrove.fandom.com/wiki/Character_Template)

2. Edit. (On desktop website it is a button which has an image of a pencil with the word edit.)

2.a If you do not see this however, please make sure you are logged into Fandom.

3. Change to 'Source Editing' found at the top of the page under the drop down labelled 'Visual Editor'.

4. Copy this entire source page.

5. Create a new Wiki page. (It looks like a semi folded piece of paper when you are out of the editor in the top right).

5.a Make sure the page name is your Character's Name.

6. Click on Edit, then view source as you did within the Character Template page.

6.a Paste in the Copied Source from Character Template

7. Edit the page to your liking. You can add as much stuff as you want. Experiment!

7.a You can find the fields of the Infobox and what it can do here: (https://beholdersgrove.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Infobox_character)

7.b Some things can only be edited through Source. So if you are struggling to edit something in the Visual Editor, try changing to Source and following the formats within.

7.c To add an image, or replace the portrait in the Info box. Click on media (it looks like a small image of mountains) and upload your file. Take note of the name and file format, then replace Placeholder.png with your file's name and format via source.

Top tip:  you can copy other people's page, how they've got it formatted. :) info boxes are a neat thing to have.
