First, you will need to create the category itself, which is simple. Just add the category tag to the bottom of your main page, like so: <nowiki>[[Category:Tristan Wolf|*]]</nowiki> -- using your own character's name, of course. The <nowiki>"|*"</nowiki> within the tag is used to put this page in the * section of the category, which is always displayed first so that the first article the user sees upon viewing the category is the main character page. | First, you will need to create the category itself, which is simple.

Click on that red category name to create the category page. Feel free to add a short description of the character and a link to your main page. But you must also add the following category to the bottom of this category page: <nowiki>[[Category:Characters]]</nowiki> | ||
Now it's time to categorize each of your sub-pages. This is similar to categorizing your main page, but you need to change the section each page is organized in. With the main page, we added "|*" to the end of the category page so that it would be organized into the * section of the category. With category pages, they're going to be named something like this: "Wolf, Tristan/Personal History". So, we'll want to make sure that each page is organized into a section according to what the page's name is. For the example above, we'd use the following category tag: <nowiki>[[Category:Wolf, Tristan|Personal]]</nowiki>. Now it'll be categorized in the "P" section of the category, and will be properly alphabetized if there are other pages in that section. | Now it's time to categorize each of your sub-pages.

As you advance in the game, you will earn [[service ribbons]] (In Character recognition for participation in particular campaigns and for heroic behavior) as well as [[Community Awards]], which are Out Of Character recognition for your simming and investment in the community. On your character page, you can display all the service ribbons ''that character'' has earned, as well as all the awards you – the player – has received. | |||
The '''[[Template:Ribbons Display|ribbons display template]]''' will help you build a display case for your awards. Normally, unless you've been with the community for more than ten years and have earned a large number of awards, awards and ribbons are displayed on the main character page, and not on a subpage. | |||
To add your ribbons to your character's sidebar, utilize the '''[[Template:Ribbons Rack|ribbons rack]]''' template and instructions. | |||
