Another tip you might find handy is how to use interwiki links.  Since Paragon Wiki and Ouroboros Portal share resources, we've made it easier to link between the two.  Any page on PW can be linked from here using a "paragonwiki:" link.  Any page here can be linked from PW using an "oportal:" link.  And any page on Wikipedia can be linked using "wikipedia:".  For example:
 +
 +
:'''<nowiki>[[paragonwiki:Super Strength|Super Strength]]</nowiki>
 +
 +
will give you this:
 +

:[[paragonwiki:Super Strength|Super Strength]]

Similarly, this:

:'''<nowiki>[[wikipedia:City of Heroes|City of Heroes]]</nowiki>

yields this:

:[[wikipedia:City of Heroes|City of Heroes]]

It's also probably worth mentioning that all images for Paragon Wiki and Ouroboros Portal are stored in a single repository, so if you want to use an image you already know exists on PW over here, you can embed it as though it was uploaded as part of this wiki.

For example:

:'''<nowiki>[[File:Power Set Icon-Super Strength.png|100px]]</nowiki>'''

:[[File:Power Set Icon-Super Strength.png|100px]]

Welcome!

Hello, Kaiser Tarantula, and welcome to the Ouroboros Portal! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Feel free to fill out your personal user page so we can get to know you. There is a collection of Userboxes you can easily add there. Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Don't forget to drop by and introduce yourself in the forum. If you need help, ask me on my talk page or ask on the forums and someone will try to to answer your questions shortly.

Also, make sure you take a look at the Help page. There are a lot of preloaded images, missions, and contact info templates, and what you want to add might already be there.

Again, welcome! -- Eabrace 01:09, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Categories

Articles are added to a category by placing a tag for the category in the article. For example, you want to add a page named "Kaiser Tarantula (Beta)" to the Beta Server Villains category, you would place this somewhere on the Kaiser Tarantula (Beta) page:

[[Category:Beta Server Villains]]

After saving the page with that category tag, you would then see the page listed in the category. --Eabrace 01:09, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I was actually working on doing that, but my session wound up timing out without me realizing it and I got distracted by other things. --Kaiser Tarantula 01:44, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
Okay, page should be fixed up. Gonna work on getting some ingame images to pretty up the character page with. --Kaiser Tarantula 01:58, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Interwiki Links

Another tip you might find handy is how to use interwiki links. Since Paragon Wiki and Ouroboros Portal share resources, we've made it easier to link between the two. Any page on PW can be linked from here using a "paragonwiki:" link. Any page here can be linked from PW using an "oportal:" link. And any page on Wikipedia can be linked using "wikipedia:". For example:

[[paragonwiki:Super Strength|Super Strength]]

will give you this:

Super Strength

Similarly, this:

[[wikipedia:City of Heroes|City of Heroes]]

yields this:

City of Heroes

It's also probably worth mentioning that all images for Paragon Wiki and Ouroboros Portal are stored in a single repository, so if you want to use an image you already know exists on PW over here, you can embed it as though it was uploaded as part of this wiki.

For example:

[[File:Power Set Icon-Super Strength.png|100px]]

embeds this image:

Power Set Icon-Super Strength.png
