Contributor's Guide/Character Edits

Making a new character page
Substitute CHARACTERNAME for the character's actual name, as it appears in-game (use the name that appears in the "Characters" main menu, not the name that appears within research journals, if those two names differ).

1. go to and click "create this page" 2. go to the 2nd-newest character's page --> "edit source" --> copy/paste everything into the new character's page 3. change all the text so that it fits with the new character

This will create the main page with the wrong images or missing images. All the other subpages will be blank. Upload the necessary image files, and put links into the "Edit Source" space as needed.

To add info to the other tabs, you'll go to:
 * : add the in-game tips.


 * : add any trivia from Medium/Blog posts. Avoid adding trivia from locked research journals.


 * : We're allowed to add the basic profile, as well as the requirements for the other quests. We cannot post the texts of the other research journals.


 * : This page will contain all image/audio/video files for the character, including files that are already on the main tab.

Other tasks for new characters

 * If you have admin permissions, edit this part of the front page.
 * Go to Characters and add the new character to the "playable characters" and "test subject table" sections.
 * Every time a new character is added, some of the other characters get a permanent discount. Remember to edit those characters' prices, both in the "test subject table" and on their character pages.
 * Go to Template:Character_Navbox and add the new character to the appropriate rows.
 * Skins will automatically update once you put the skins data into the Skins templates on the first tab of the character's page. If the results are not appearing, it may be due to one of two things:
 * In the top bar, go to "More" --> "Purge" (this will force the page to refresh to the newest possible version of the page. It does not remove any data from the page). This will usually resolve the issue.
 * If some skins still are not appearing, it's possible that one of the queries on Skins has hit the limit of 100 results. Go to "Edit Source" and move 1-2 characters from the first query to the second query (or from the second query to the third query).
 * Skills will automatically update once you make the edits on the first tab of the character's page.

Changes to existing characters

 * Stats changes: Edit the stats section of the main tab as needed. Remember to edit all 5 tables.
 * Skills changes: Edit the skills section of the main tab as needed.
 * Mastery changes: Edit both the character page and Template:Character_Navbox.
