All roster characters have at least a basic profile on the game's wiki and staff will do their best to keep those profiles up to date as the game progresses. Original characters will not be required to maintain a page, however one will always be added.
Our wiki, like most places, has a few rules that must be adhered to. They are listed below.
Joining the Wiki
All players have a right to request a wiki ID. This ID is required in order for players to edit their profile. Players are permitted only 1 login, which can be used to upkeep their character's profiles.
To get a profile: Send a +Request to staff including the [User Name] and [Email]. A password will be randomly generated and sent to the provided email directly following the creation of your ID. You are free to change the password as you see fit once you have accessed the ID.
- As both User Name and Password are necessary to receive a login, requests without the required information will simply be closed and IDs will not be created. Staff will not look for your email.
What to Do and Not Do on the Wiki
The following things should be kept in mind when dealing with the wiki.
- No Played-By Images.
- While we respect that players have become accustomed to assigning images and actresses to their characters, and while we also acknowledge that these things can make a profile very pretty, CoI does not support the use of PBs, nor should these be used on the wiki page, linked to the wiki page or the on-game profile.
- No moving or animated Images of any kind.
- While we understand some players may enjoy bright flickering or animated titles, moving images have been known to induce seizures and medical issues for some guests and players.
- Keep the wiki readable for everyone. If you involve images on your wiki, make sure that fixed-width images and tables are limited in size, so that your page does not fall off the screen for others.
- Elements that cannot be scaled down, such as the game's family trees and maps, should be located on their own pages, and linked to wiki profiles.
- Do not make changes to anyone else's profile without their direct consent.
- Please help keep the wiki clear of unnecessary clutter. Should you happen upon unnecessary pages, redirect pages or blank pages, please contact a staffer so that it can be properly deleted.
- Do not create pages for unapproved characters for any reason. They will be deleted. People that continue to ignore this rule will lose their rights to wiki access.
- Profiles and logs should be Family and Work appropriate. This means absolutely NO images or links, as well as no TS logs or logs of a profane nature should appear on the wiki for any reason. Language will not be policed, but staff do keep an eye on the content of the wiki.
- When you add a file, please name it according to the character profile it is affiliated: (Bob-1, Bob-2). This helps keep things tidy.
