What do your edits marked NC mean?
This is short hand for "naming convention". If you see NC as noted reason for a page move, it's likely that I've moved a page that doesn't conform to our standard naming practices - often this is because it's using the old [Surname, Given name] format, other times it's simply because a page name is either misleading, too long, or players looking for it wouldn't find it very easily.
Can I use other people's page structure/take stuff from other people's pages?
Yes you can. Feel free to "borrow" wiki code from whoever or whatever page on the wiki to set up a page how you like.
However, be aware that if you take code/content from somewhere other than the SB118 wiki, attribute the content to them or try to ask them if you can use it.
How do I get the same thing on all pages without having to edit all the pages?
You can create a template, which can be displayed on all pages but edited only from it's source. These can be created by making a page named Template:[name]. They can be displayed by typing {{[name]}}. They're edited like any other page.
I created an ID subpage for an NPC but it's not working
ID subpages require a specific template (which can be found here) in order to be correctly displayed on rosters - regular character bios are not automatically translated for the roster. Rune Jolara may be able to help if you require further assistance.
My character page uses the Surname, Given-name convention.
This needs to be changed so your page can be linked through the roster templates (and its easier for your fellow simmers to include the page in their bios).
All simmers whom have a user account on our wiki can move their pages - this can be done by clicking the move tab next to history (for power users/administrators, this is next to the delete button - please don't accidentally delete pages). Enter your characters name in the correct format, be sure to tick "Move subpages" assuming you have the option, and the wiki will move your page to the correct title, leaving a redirect behind.
Note, if you untick the "Leave a redirect behind" box, there may be redlinks on other pages if you're a returning player.
