+--- Thread: An experimental shift in character. (/showthread.php?tid=1993)
RE: An experimental shift in character. - Vareal - 05-24-2013
After much deliberation, I've decided to run with this. Which brings up a question: how do I change my characters name on the Wiki? Or do I have to request a deletion of said character and start a new one?

You should be able to do this yourself.
From the wiki:
1. Go to your page and make sure you are logged in
2. Click "Move" (at the top)
3. Change the name to whatever you want - I believe the dropdown box on the left should remain "(Main)"
4. Click the red "Move page" button at the bottom
Please also be aware you may also have to correct some redirects if other pages link to the old page rather than the new one. You can click the "What links here" link at the bottom of your page first to see. Normally it's considered good etiquette to fix broken links from others' pages as well if you do this, but you shouldn't make any other changes to others' pages than that.Â
Hope this helps~
