Guide to Making a Character

Copy and past the following code into a page, replacing USERNAME with your username and filling in all known values.

Icons
In order to quickly identify pages on Project:REBIRTH an icon system is used, each icon refers to a particular aspect of the page and may be a link to more information on the topic. It's easy to use but one rule must be followed: global topics always take precedence: e.g. a character page (which is part of the codex) would have the icon template as the codex is the global topic, followed by occupation, then class.

Writer
If a page has been made by a specific person it may be tagged with the Writer template for identification and ownership purposes. If the character is a non-player character they can be tagged with instead.

Infobox
In order to quickly and easily show information character information is put into an infobox. Not all the fields need to be filled in, blank fields will not appear on the box so do not fill blank fields with "None" or "Unknown".
