User blog:Ayleria/Character Info Pages

Character pages are being redone now to help find units. The big issue this time is the redirects from the pages to the categories will be reversed to categories redirecting to pages, so that makes this a little more difficult than it should be.

Steps for this are:

1) Type in the character name in the search bar, and you must click the name when it is JUST the name. You will be redirected to the category, so click the redirect link to get to the page.

Alternatively, you can go to tales-of-link.wikia.com/wiki/CHARACTER?redirect=no.

2) On the page (not category) use the following template:

Leave blank everything you don't need!


 * Name is the character name/category.
 * Info is the description, which you can copy from the category page.
 * One/two/three/four/five/six just need a "yes" by them if the character has that unit rarity. This makes the table of contents update accordingly.
 * If the user has a MA, make MA = the entire block of code for the user from the MA Exhibition Page.
 * Other is for any other non-unit images. I believe Sara, Kana, and Lippy may be the only ones (left).  You can check in Category:Story Images to be sure.
 * Series is of course Tales of X, where X is the series.

3) Double check once you save that all face portraits are present. Duplicate unit art probably isn't repeated here, but every unique piece should have the portrait.

4) On the category page, delete all contents (besides the Category:Character part) and add #REDIRECTCHARACTER, where CHARACTER is the name of the page you just made.

These pages should auto update when new content is added, though if any new unit rarities for the character appear, they will need the rarity marked "yes" to be included.

The info part will also automatically add characters to the "Needs Description" category if necessary, so no more need to figure out if we did it or not.
