-NorCon's wiki is set up to automatically generate a page for every character. New characters will receive a page within 24 hours of being approved.
+== Page Creation ==
-To simplify the process, these pages are pre-populated with information from your +sheet on game; you will not need to update things like rank, location, craft, dragon, PB, etc. (See: '''+help sheet updates''' on game for the options you can set yourself.)
+Page creation for characters and NPC is automated; new pages are created once an hour for both characters and dragons.
-Once your page has been created, however, you may like to add other details.
+Page content is initially taken from +sheet. Data includes:
-To do this, browse to your page and under 'Page tools' click 'edit with form.'
+* Rank
-You may also like to add your character to different categories - for example, to indicate where they were born, or other places they have lived.
+See '''+help sheet updates''' for information on how to set player-controlled values.
-Once you've updated your page, you may also like to add some icons. To do this, click 'Add New' and then 'Multi-Upload.' Icon names must be begin with ''Icon_<charactername>'' to show up on your character page. Character names can be in upper or lowercase, but must match the name of the page (nicknames won't work).
