The Ouroboros Portal

Hey all, some of you already know about this site, it's not exactly a secret or anything, but I wanted to post a more general announcement about it being live.

A while back, we started having discussions over at the Paragon Wiki about creating a new wiki to hold player-generated content, such as character backstories, supergroup pages, player info pages, and so on. After the Mission Architect, it also seems like a perfect place to put your mission storylines, kind of a player equivalent to the Paragon Wiki's mission description system.

We decided to call the site "The Ouroboros Portal." The intention is to convey the sense that it is a library of information about all things Paragon City that you won't find in the normal encyclopedias (i.e. the Paragon Wiki, which contains normal game information). Who better to maintain such a reference than those who have access to the space-time continuum? To help prevent typos, we shortened the official URL to:

OuroPortal.com

(If it helps to remember that it has a U in it, think of it as "Our O portal.com".)

Please note that like all wikis, everyone has access to edit your pages, so if you create, for example, a supergroup site, you don't have to personally maintain the entire thing yourself. It also means that there is potential for griefing. If that happens, let us know, and we'll determine what action, if appropriate, to take. If you click on "My Preferences" at the top after logging in, you can enter your e-mail address and then tag pages to be on your watchlist so that you're notified if any are updated.

As for the content of your pages, it's pretty much up to you. Here are some guidelines that might help:
<ul type="square">[*]As part of the Titan Network, like the Paragon Wiki, the Ouroboros Portal uses your Titan Key to log in. If you don't have one, register one for free. You don't need to create a separate account for the Ouroboros Portal.[*]Please note the Article Guidelines. We're a little more lenient with topics such as language and adult material than the forums here, but this is not an adult site. Think PG-13 here. No nude pictures, some strong language, some sexual content, but nothing too over the top. The administrators of the site (including me) reserve the right to delete anything we feel is inappropriate, but we'll try to err on the side of letting you have your space. Don't abuse it![*]Please be sure to always indicate which server(s) a character is on! One easy way to do this is to be sure to put a [[Category:Infinity Heroes]] (or whatever server your on) at the bottom of your page. If a character is on multiple servers, put one category tag for each server.[*]If a character page exists for someone on a different server for a character you want on there, do not delete their page. Instead, please see the Name Collisions article.[*]The Paragon Wiki and the Ouroboros Portal are linked in some cool ways. I'll discuss that more later, but for now, you can link to a Paragon Wiki article by putting "paragonwiki:" in front of an article name. For example, to link to the main page of the Paragon Wiki, include the tag [[paragonwiki:Main Page]]. If you want to use an image in the Paragon Wiki on your page, you don't have to do anything special, just use the tag that you'd use on the Paragon Wiki. (E.g. [[Image:Archetypeicon defender.png]])[*]If you're unfamiliar with wiki markup, check out the Paragon Wiki help page to point you to some good resources. If you have any questions, feel free to post a message on the Ouroboros Portal forum linked below.[/list]Please bear in mind that as a new site, we're working on processes and procedures to make it better. Bear with us, especially at first, as we try to nail things down and standardize ways to best server everyone. If you have any questions or problems, please drop by the Ouroboros Portal discussion forum.


We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

After watching the Red Dwarf episode I've never had any trouble remembering how to spell Ouroboros. They thought it was a wierd way to indicate what they wanted his name to be, "Our Rob or Ros."
