    • Link: Template:Biocomplex-personal / Tag: {{subst:Biocomplex-personal}}
    • Link: Template:Biocomplex-starfleet / Tag: {{subst:Biocomplex-starfleet}}
    • Link: Template:Bio-sim / Tag: {{subst:Bio-sim}}
  • The category has not been added to this template, because it's assumed you're going to create a sub-category for your entire character profile including sub-pages. See the section below on "advanced categorization".

Sub-pages

If you have a good deal of information for your character, and plan to put more than just your character's basic information on their page, then you can create a number of sub-pages to make the "main" page a little more lean and easier to read. The "complex" template above utilizes some of these methods.

Creating a Sub-page

Making a sub-page is simple enough. From your main page, just use a link like so: [[/Sub-page name]].

Keep in Mind: If you have to move your page, using the "move" function on the wiki, the link to this sub-page will break, and you will have to save the main page again, then copy/paste all of the text from the original sub-page into the new sub-page.

In-depth Personal and/or Professional Histories

You can create a sub-page for your character's personal or professional history (or both), to include just about any information you can think of. Take a look at the templates above in the "Complex Template" section for more ideas.

Family Pages

If you have thought out a lot of information about the character's family, create a sub-page and do sections on each of them to flesh them out more.

SIM Archives

If you're interested in bringing together all of your SIMs, you can create a section for your SIM archives. Archives should be broken up into logical groups of SIMs, like vessel missions. If using that scheme, name missions by the "official" vessel mission name, or by the how it relates to the character. Example links below.

• Atlantis Mission 4 - Joe joins the Atlantis on her fourth mission, exploring the Horsehead Nebula.
• Joining Atlantis - Joe joins the Atlantis on her fourth mission, exploring the Horsehead Nebula.

We have a template that you can use to organize each page of SIMs. To use this template, put the tag below into your character page and save the page. Then click the "edit" link to fill in the results.
