Protector Wiki

Yeah, I had to go all over the place and even "reverse engineer" some of the pages given as exemple to make sense of it all...

1. Log in to the Ouroboros Portal - there's a link in the top right corner of every page. The site uses the Titan Key, which can be set up here.

2. Open the Help link (located in the "Navigation" box" on the left side column of every page) in a 2nd window / tab. Put aside the main window for now, you're gonna need it later.

3. On the Help page, select the type of Character template you want. (for my first page I chose "{{CharInfoH}}", short and simple). You can always change template later by editing any of your pages.

4. The Templage page will give you... a template (d'oh!) that you can use to create your page. Select the whole template with your mouse's cursor and hit CTRL-C (to copy it).

5. Go back to the main window, and in the search box type in the name of the character (and only the name) you want to create. If it isn't found (which should be expected...) you will get an option to "Create the page "<whatever>" on this wiki!". Click on the red "<whatever>" link.

6. Hit CTRL-V to paste the template you copied earlier. Fill it out (any field not labelled "(optional)" is, well, NOT optional and has to be filled out...).
N.B. The name of the origin and of the archetype must start with a lower case character !

7. If you want to put an image in your page, you have to upload it first - see the "Upload file" link in the Toolbox box on the left side of the page.

8. To put the page into categories, after the last line of the template, add the following:

[[Category:Hero|Villain|Rogue|Vigilante]]
[[Category:Archetype]]
[[Category:Magic|Mutant|Natural|Science|Technology]]
[[Category:Server Heroes|Villains|Praetorians]]
[[Category:Male|Female]]

replacing

"Hero|Villain|Rogue|Vigilante"
"Archetype"
"Magic|Mutant|Natural|Science|Technology"
"Server Heroes|Villains|Praetorians"
"Male|Female"

with the correct values for your character.

9. Don't forget to click "Save this page" when you're done ! (I know I did...)

10. To follow the wiki's guideline, you need to make a redirect from a page with the character' name only (which is what you have created) to a page that has both the character's name AND the server name. The simplest way is to go back to your page (once it is saved) and click on the "move" link at the top of page. Put in "Character (Server)" as the new name. Your page will be renamed, and the old name ("Character" only) becomes your redirect. It sounds weird, but trust me on this...

That's about it. There's probably some stuff I forgot, but with this you should be able to add your characters to the Ouroboros portal.
