**Wikia has two different editors: Their rich text editor that has a Visual mode and a Source Mode, and an editor called VisualEditor.

That is a sign you're in the wrong editor).

Creating OC Pages

  • Who are we allowed to make pages for?
    • If they're an OC related to Dragon Age, they're fair game. That includes OCs in your protagonist's OC's background, your OC's children, OCs from stories completely separated form the main games, whatever. Feel free to go nuts.
  • Why aren't the instructions in the How-To Guide working?
    • Wikia has two different editors: Their rich text editor that has a Visual mode and a Source Mode, and an editor called VisualEditor. The instructions are created for VisualEditor and won't work if you have the Rich-Text Editor up (a good way to check is if the infobox appears as a green puzzle piece. That is a sign you're in the wrong editor).
    • To fix this, you can change what editor you use by default by editing your user preferences (found in a dropdown list on the top bar). Alternatively, in any page that's already created, you can access your non-default editor by clicking on the dropdown box next to the Edit button.
  • How much detail should we put into our pages?
    • This is completely up to you. Some people will write an entire novel, some people will just put in bullet points and call it a day. Do as much or as little as you want.

Site Navigation

  • Why don't all of the Backgrounds / Love Interests / Usernames appear in the navigation bar?
    • The navigation bar is only allowed to display the first seven pages that were created in that category. However, if you click the main category name, it will take you to a page that lists all of the subcategories.
  • Why can't I click on the main category names in mobile?
    • Because the person who designed Wikia's mobile platform hates you and wants to see you cry. I suggest doing a search for "Category:[whatever you wanted]" to work around the issue.

Other

  • Where are the rest of the Frequently Asked Questions?
    • In hiding until we get asked more questions
