RE: RP Wiki Woes - Parvacake - 08-09-2016
For the wikis, I love the variety of ways one can customize their profile. I myself took one of the templates and just altered the coloring for each character. Took a bit to figure out what went where but it wasn't so bad!

... What are some issues I've come across when creating my RPC wiki? Everything... I suck at html so I'm just not very good at making Wikis. I did manage to create a half baked one for my character Y'zhara, but it's not even done yet because working on it just makes me want to tear my eyeballs out of my eye sockets.

My wikis are all pieced together from other peoples formatting, though I have done some things myself, some of them pulled from other formats, some pulled from formatting I've seen used off-wiki in other places.Â
I love my wikis, but recently I started trimming them down drastically, after realizing I'd basically overloaded the information on there. That said, I mostly make Wikis because they're pretty, not for any other real reason.
I do have a tumblr, but I'm lazy when it comes to tumblr coding (which is weird, I know), so that's a thing.
RE: RP Wiki Woes - ExAtomos - 08-11-2016
Is there something up with the wiki categories, or am I just missing something? If I click on Elezen or Wildwood Elezen category links, for example, my character Alberic isn't listed. Yet these categories are listed and linked at the bottom of his wiki. (Though I do see a note about "these categories will be updated after 2.0 is released" on some pages like Regions. >.> ) Is it just that these wiki pages are not being updated any longer or is there something wrong with my (admittedly copy and pasted) coding?
RE: RP Wiki Woes - Erel - 08-11-2016
I'm no coding expert so it takes me a looong time to fill mine out since I have to hunt through line after line of coding to find the space I want to fill in.Â
But the biggest problem I have is when I am finished for the day, I look at it and get self conscious about whether people looking at it will think it's bland and boring. I really want people to get a sense of who my character is and read through the whole thing but I worry that they take one look, see that it's very 'meh' and move along. (Living with anxiety over the most trivial things like this is a struggle ><)

I tried messing with a template that had multiple tabs once.
Never again.

My wikis are barebones as giving godmodders/metagamers insight on super awesome stuff about my character is my primary reason not to do more wiki stuff. My secondary reason is I am lazy!
Give only enough information as you want others (including godmodders/metagamers) to see!

My secondary reason is I am lazy!I'm mostly lazy xD I'm not too worried about GM/MG's though since I just shut that kind of nonsense down very quickly and am not afraid to OOCly stop the whole RP and either correct someone or call them out.

Yeah, I'm actually kinda glad when someone decides to meta-game with OOC information I've given them. The way they react when I ask them not to do it is a very good method of gauging how good an RP partner and friend they're going to be going forward.
If they're gracious, admit their mistake, and promise to retcon their statement / not mention it again without proper IC knowledge, then that's a green flag.
If they throw a tantrum, well... I consider it a gift that they made it so obvious they aren't to be trusted; usually early on, before I got too invested. :)
