Adding your character to the Wiki
Hello, and welcome to the Blade Company Wiki! Suppose you want to add your character to our assortment of members, how do you do it? This page will help walk you through the steps required in order to create a character and begin writing out their descriptions, histories, storylines, plotlines, or really anything related to their RP.

Add your character to the Characters page
When adding a character to the Characters page is simple. Detailed below are the steps: That's all that's needed in order to add your character to the list.
 * 1) Click on the 'edit' button beside Charr Members.
 * 2) Add a * to create a bullet point.
 * 3) Place double brackets at the start of your character's FIRST name as such: character name goes here, then add their last name.
 * 4) Click on the blue 'Publish' button in the top right corner of the screen. You can also use the preview button to ensure you wrote everything correctly to match the page formatting.

Editing your character
Many pages on the wiki have a certain style to them when it comes to characters, a few examples: Treyo, Sektus, Synark. Most notably is how the way the side 'infoboxes' are constructed. This is an easy process to go about as fancy as they look: It's as easy as that to add a template to your character's page. Though, that was just a summary of your character's physical apperance, key names, and other useful information about them. Suppose you want to add various catagories that will allow you to link through the page; each with different subsections. This is likely the easiest part of editing:
 * 1) Click on your character's first name on the Characters page, this will bring you to a blank page which will allow you to create and edit your character.
 * 2) Once you're on the edit screen, click on the link in the bottom right corner of the screen just below the puzzle icons that is indicated by 'Add other templates'.
 * 3) This will bring you to the Template editor. In the search box, type: Test Template
 * 4) Select the first result and then click on insert. This will bring you to a screen that will allow you to manage your character's infobox painlessly. Just fill in the blanks. (Note: You do not have to fill out every box in order for it to work. It will omit anything that doesn't have any text within)
 * 5) If you uploaded a picture to the wiki, you can add it to the infobox as well by typing the following: Imagenamehere.jpg   (Adding a picture to the wiki is detailed below under the catagory: Uploading an Image)
 * 6) When you are finished, click on the 'Ok' button in the bottom right corner of the box used to create the template.

This is a heading 5 example
Headings allow you to organize topics of interest for your character, example being Past History, Present History, Plotline Details, or Physical Description. Each can be divided using Heading 2 through 5, each is dependant on how you want to organize your page. Listed below are the few steps to use in order to make a heading:
 * 1) Upon editing your character's page, click on the 'format' dropdown along the top of the bar.
 * 2) Choose the type of heading you want to use for your page to organize your information.
 * 3) Type out the heading title, then press 'enter' on the keyboard. That will skip you to the next line and return your formatting to 'normal text' automatically.

Uploading an Image
