Redean came up with a great use for our wiki software.

And that is having your own character page where you can maintain information such as character history, stat's and images of your Guild wars and Guild wars 2 characters.

To edit your page simply go to the wiki and click your user name just above the navigation panel on the right.

If you need help formating and uploading your pic's get in contact with myself or Redean.

Here are some example guild wars character wiki pages,

Also If you want a nice little character box on your page use the following code and fill in character details in it:

{{Template:Infobox_Character
|charname=Character Name
|charthumbnail=MyPic.jpg
|nationality=Characters Nationality
|pprofession=Characters Primary Profession
|sprofession=Characters Secondary Profession
|affiliation=Characters Affilation
}}

I'd like to add to this. If you want to have several pictures laid out neatly across your page then you can use the same code that can be found in my profile. I will post an edit tonight with an example so you don't have to go trawling through my page :]

It seems you know a fair bit of wiki coding, if you could list all codes you know or PM them to me I could make a helpful reference list on making pages.

To be honest, I know very little about html and coding. A few of my friends are very good at coding, so what info I can't get from the internet I can ask them. I am however fairly good at making things look good (not trying to sound boastful).

I'll still get a list of useful codes for you if you like :]

Thanks Red. You can use my layout, I don't mind ^_^

<TABLE BORDER=3 (table border width)>
<TR>
<TH COLSPAN=3 (number of columns for title to span)>
<H3>Table Title</H3>
</TH>
</TR>
<TH>Armour Title</TH>
   <TR>
      <TD colspan='1'><center>[[Image:Your image link here|center|thumb|100px]]</center></TD>
   </TR>
</TABLE>

That is the basics of it. The red highlights show the values that can be changed. For the image I used 100px for the image width and 1 column span (100px gives a nice tidy image size).
