Maintaining Characters on the Wiki

I notice that Jedion and Terl have posted their characters to the wiki. I've been advised this is the best way to maintain characters. Please everyone set up a wiki for your character. That way, I can just go in and award xp, etc. It will assist with the game.

When you get on the wiki (you need to login to it much like you do the forum) by registering under the User Control Panel, go to Game Resources--the complete old school campaign. You can put your character in there. Here's the link below.

Also, I am thinking on your character posts could be where you describe how XP is being spent, the. Go into the wiki to make changes. Will that work? Any thoughts?

How can you get permission to edit, there isn't anything I do is there? I am learning here. Are you sure you are in the group?

You two, as well as OnceFarOff, should be able to edit the wiki now. I added you to the wiki group. There were instructions on the front page of the wiki on how to do it yourself but I saved you the trouble.

Okay I followed the UCP instructions and it said I'm already a user. I went to the wiki page and clicked my character and then hit the edit page button and got this message:

Are you logged on to the wiki? You do have to log in separately from the forums but if you tell it to remember you, you won't have to do it again. (At least for a while.) Otherwise, I'll look at it more in the morning.

I saw that, it's not showing up in there as it is laid out. Perhaps Terl could help. Just a formatting issue I think

Yeah, I'll take a look. I really need to install a wysiwyg editor into both the forums and the wiki but have never gotten around to it. Right now you just have to use standard wiki markup (the wiki runs on the same engine as wikipedia) to do the formatting.

Ok mine's done. @Jedion - can you change my character's name on the wiki - it's "Famm" not "Framm" - I didn't see how to change that field. Thanks.

Happy New Year to all.
