Page Creation
You do not need to worry about creating your character's wikipage. This will be done by staff upon approval.
Filling out Information
Staff will fill out your profile information upon approval. As a player you do not have access to editing this information, however you can update and edit the Contacts tab.
If you have not already done so, click on the 'create it now' link on the Contacts tab. This will create this section and allow you to edit it. If you wish to update it at a later time the address to this page is: http://hoffmaninstitute.wikidot.com/contacts:<pc-name>
Uploading Images
Image files are typically uploaded to the wiki in order to be referenced on a character page. To add an image:
- Scroll down to the buttons at the bottom of the page and click on "FILES" (in the center of the row)
- Then select "Upload a file from your computer"
- Browse to the file in question, and
- IF the original filename does not match what you cited in the wikipage:
- Select "switch to our old uploader" instead of "Select Files"
- Browse to the file in question
- When renaming the file remember:
- You must include the extension, e.g. Grace.jpg
- Filenames are case sensitive; Grace.jpg and grace.jpg are two different files
- Filenames cannot contain spaces
Once the file has been uploaded, you should be able to hit refresh and see it displayed at whatever point the wikipage references it.
Tricks and Troubleshooting
Hide Line in TOC
The Table of Contents is generated from headers. Headers are lines prefixed with one or more + symbols. If you want one to be left out of the TOC, put an * right after the last +, e.g. '++* Title Text.
My contact images show up on the page, but not in the Contacts tab. Help!
Images on your contacts page require the FULL location link so that they can be found by your profile page. The full link is:
