=='''Redirect Help'''== | |||
A redirect page is a page that simply will put someone to a different page. For instance, the page "IAF" and "I.A.F." both redirect to the "Iwagakure Air Federation" page, because they are simply alternate names for the same idea/organization. | |||
To redirect to a page there are two simple steps to do so. First, create the page that you want to redirect from. In the above example, this would be like creating the page "IAF". Secondly, put the following line of wiki code into the page, making sure that the name of the page is the correct name of the page that you want to redirect. | |||
<nowiki>#redirect [[Page Name Here]]</nowiki> | |||
And that is it! If a person tries to go to your redirect page, they will be sent to the main page instead. Make sure that the above line is all you have in the page. | |||

General Help
Check out this link for a tutorial on how to use a wiki:
Check out this link for a list of formatting options that you can use on the wiki:
Category Help
A category is a tag that you can place on a page that you create to make it easier to find. For instance, all Player Characters have their own category called "PC". As well, all Non-Player Characters have their own category called "NPC". In order to add a category to a page, you simply have to put the following tag at the bottom of the page.
[[Category:PC]]
Of course "PC" can be replaced with any number of category names, and you can even make up your own categories by putting in a new word in this area. A full list of categories can be found on the left hand navigation under "Categories". As well, there is a helpful article on categories that you can find below in case you want additional information.
Redirect Help
A redirect page is a page that simply will put someone to a different page. For instance, the page "IAF" and "I.A.F." both redirect to the "Iwagakure Air Federation" page, because they are simply alternate names for the same idea/organization.
To redirect to a page there are two simple steps to do so. First, create the page that you want to redirect from. In the above example, this would be like creating the page "IAF". Secondly, put the following line of wiki code into the page, making sure that the name of the page is the correct name of the page that you want to redirect.
#redirect [[Page Name Here]]
And that is it! If a person tries to go to your redirect page, they will be sent to the main page instead. Make sure that the above line is all you have in the page.
