Multiple characters? - Sarina Alyne - 10-02-2015
Hello!
Just a quick question! What is the best way to manage multiple characters on the wiki? Are we able to create new pages for our alternate characters even though they are not attached to an account?
Also, as a little side-note, is there a way to remove the "User:" prefix for character profiles on the wiki?
Thank you in advance!

You can make as many pages for as many characters as you wish, you simply have to search the name you want the page to be under, and when it doesn't show you click the red link in "Create the page "_____" on this wiki!" to make the page.
It sounds like you accidentally created your character page under your user page, which is a common mistake for most people new to the wiki (I had the same exact problem when I started).
Let me know if you need help!

Oh! I didn't even notice! Should I just wipe my profile and paste it on a new page, then? (Following your guidance above.)

That'd work! Simply copy the page contents from the user page, then make the new character page and paste your hard work there. Then you can go back and wipe the user page.
(Or you can save yourself a step by using the Cut command ^^)

I think that did it! Thank you!

Yeah don't worry, I did the same exact thing starting out.
It's a simple enough mistake to make really.
*goes to stalk your wiki*

I didn't even notice it but I had the User: thing too. Gonna fix that!
