						 <p>I have noticed that a lot of people have made links to canon characters in their Author profiles….</p> <p>This is natural, as a number of us write from the same game/anime/etc worlds. I would like to ask folks to try not to "take" the canon character pages if possible. Here's how this can be done.</p> <p>Say… ten people have a Cecil Harvey in their figment list. Is it fair that any one person gets the page <a class="newpage" href="http://figmentregistry.wikidot.com/figments:cecil-harvey">Cecil Harvey</a>? I thought about putting up a place holder page to discourage this. But not only would that take a lot of time, but it would also clutter up the directory and show non-figments in the Figment Highlight on the front page. Not good.</p> <p>Here is a way to still use Cecil Harvey without claiming the canon character page. Append some sort of identifier to the character that denotes they belong to you.</p> <p>For example, in my case, my world is known as <strong>Darkstar</strong>. So the natural thing for me to do is append "DS" to the end of my figment's name. However, I don't want him to show up as <strong>Cecil Harvey DS</strong> on my Auhor page… so what do I do?</p> <p>If you use the following code, it will work:</p> <div class="code"> <pre> <code>[[[figments:cecil-harvey-ds | Cecil Harvey]]]</code> </pre></div> <p>This will display a link that looks like this:<br /> <a href="http://figmentregistry.wikidot.com/figments:cecil-harvey-ds">Cecil Harvey</a></p> <p>On the actual figment page, you can change the name that is shown so that it simply says "Cecil Harvey"… though I would suggest that you do append something to his name to differ him from anyone else's. In my case, I'll probably title the page Cecil Harvey (DS).</p> <p>I hope this makes sense and helps!</p>
