L4W Discussion Thread V

FourMonos · Aug 14, 2011

I'd like to ask the judges if my character review requests were received. One of them was sent quite a while back, so I just wanted to make sure they were on the list.

My newer character is more likely to finish his adventurer first, as dimsdale is a speedy DM.

Can someone please let me know if the review requests are in the queue?

Thanks

lets operate under the following assumption: I know nothing about wiki

step one go to L4W wiki page : check!
step two: On the left side there's a list of things to click on, look for "Create a new article" it'll have a pop-up asking what to call it yeah....not seeing that anywhere on the page, so instead i tried to start me own wiki (correct or no???)

I then opened the page I created as instructed (by the way, nowhere do you mention signing up/into the wikia site.) and copied the template, being careful to include only the portions between the "copy here" line, and also not including any of the banners on the right hand side (which was no small feat).

I saved ( I assume you meant publish - because there was no save button/prompt anywhere) and reopened the page, but now comes my question, when I try to edit, it shows the template, but says the template doesnt exist and wont let me edit.....

please help

Are you seeing a bunch of little things that look like jigsaw puzzle pieces? If so, click the button that says "source" in the upper right.

Welcome to L4W. We'll get you going. Can you post a link to your wiki page? I doubt you've gotten far enough to be in any of the categories yet. With a link, I (or one of the other players/judges) can see your page and guide you through the process.

It's admittedly complex and has been through many revisions, including a comprehensive migration from one wiki to another. We've tried to keep the instructions as accurate as possible, but we are all volunteers here, so we're certain to miss a lot.

Oy. Those instructions are from at least two wikis ago, and probably close to three years now. Someone should really update them to something vaguely modern....

Right, so what you've done is create a new wiki rather than add a page to the L4W wiki. Go back to the L4W wiki, and you'll find the "Add a page" button under the search bar on the right of the screen.

The LEB instructions are valid for Wikia. Feel free to modify.

where can I find the L4W: Power Template
and is it just c&p as well?

TwoHeadsBarking · Aug 16, 2011

You can find the various templates here. I do recommend copy-pasting whenever possible though.

about the fluff

I have my idea I would like to use, but it is kind of hard to be specific without worrying about stepping on someone else's story they may already have going. I poured over everything about the setting on the wiki, but please tell me I dont have to sift through every game...I don't think I could do it.

Do I just go with what I want, and see if it gets approved?
