Creating pages?

[Skylano]

I want to make a quick page for Zumbles since they're a canonical creature now (just like a paragraph or so) but don't know how to make a page that doesn't already exist, how does that work? Or does a Keeper need to make the page?

An Admin or Keeper can weigh in, but I would recommend startign the page on you user section (coppermind.net/wiki/User:Skylano (or whatever your user name there is)) so you can go through the time of adding templates, buiding and refining it now - when it's ready you can copy/paste the material to the new page once it has been created. 

Example: where I worked out the kinks for the tables used on various White Sand pages

Hope that helps

Thanks for catching that; they should definitely have a page. I just updated your permissions, so you should be able to create it if you go to https://coppermind.net/wiki/Zumble now. It might be helpful to use one of the other Rosharan lifeform pages as a sort of template. One minor note to go with the permissions, it's generally best to check in before making new content pages, to see if anyone has thoughts about things like what the page title should be or whether it should just be covered in a section on another page (though book releases will bring with them lots of simple cases like this and, as Treamayne mentioned, you're welcome to make as many drafts in your user space as you want).

Also, I'm realizing I don't think anyone's mentioned this to you, we do also have a Discord server for conversations between editors; you're welcome to join if you find it easier to chat there. Thanks for the work you've been doing this past month!

I think I've seen it in the Editor's Corner, I just haven't taken the time to join since I've been pretty busy outside of when I can get on during school, so I'll probably join this week. Also thank you, I'll probably take the time to make the layout in the my page like has been recommended before I actually change it on their designated page!
