====== Frequently Asked Question ======

===== Questions =====
=== Where can I experiment with the Wiki? ===
Try editing in the [[Playground]]

=== How do I create a new page? ===
Creating a page is simple.
  * [[how_do_i_edit_a_page|Edit an existing page]], and [[how_do_i_create_a_link|create a new link]].
  * Click on the new link and create the page.

It's important to make sure that new pages have unique names, otherwise you may be putting in a link to an existing page.  For this reason, and to help organise Wikis, there are "[[namespace|namespaces]]".

=== I keep getting boxes in my pages ===
If you copy and paste from a document in a word processing program, text editor, or from another webpage - you may see boxes appear when you save the page.
Boxes are caused by lines that start with two spaces or tabs.  Edit the offending line and remove them.
  

=== Do you have a template in wiki format for character formatting? ===
There is a template in the characters section (or namespace) if you create a new character page, you get a fill in the blanks type template. To create a new page in a different namespace, separate it with a colon.  For example a new character would have a link of double square open brackets then characters then a colon then the name of the character then double square close brackets.  [ [ characters : Name of Character ] ] 
  * I have written a Hero Designer export template that will export the file in a Wiki format that can be simply cut and pasted into this wiki.  You can download it here: [[http://www.curufea.com/herowiki.hde]]
=== How do I add an image or other file? ===
While editing a page, click on the button to insert an image - it's the stylised landscape with two mountains and a sun {{http://www.curufea.com/hero/lib/images/toolbar/image.png}}, next to the signature button. The second from the right.
Browse to the file.
Upload it.
Then use {{}} to link to the image
  * You can also add HDC, HDE and HDP files with this dialog.  Make sure the filenames are lowercase, or they won't link properly.  Note: you can upload HD files to the [[http://www.herodesigner.com|Hero Designer website]] now.

===== Discussions =====
== The Characters Template ==
Is this template (in the characters namespace) suitable for creating new pages about characters?  Should it be formatted differently?  --- //[[curufea@yahoo.com|Peter Cobcroft]] 2006/02/23 20:36//
== Other Templates and Namespaces ==
Should I create more namespaces and templates to go with them?  For example - if we have a page for each superskill/wuxia power or each package, should they be kept together and use a template to make their creation easy and uniform in layout?  Any other templates?  --- //[[curufea@yahoo.com|Peter Cobcroft]] 2006/02/23 20:36//
== Wiki stylesheet ==
If anyone has come across a template for the entire DokuWiki they think is better than the default you currently see here, let me know  --- //[[curufea@yahoo.com|Peter Cobcroft]] 2006/09/18 15:31//
