Does this link help?

If not, let me know where you’re having issues and I’ll do my best to help. :)

Well, I’m not sure if this a real problem or not, but every time I try to link a character to another, it doesn’t give me a list of the characters names to link them. Does this have to do with something else?

When you’re typing in a field, if you click the character icon underneath (I think it is red with a two-heads sort of icon) a dropdown should appear with a list of your characters to click from. If this is not happening it sounds like there’s an issue somewhere.

Just to check, how many characters should you have to choose from, and are they in the same universe as the pages you’re trying to link them on?

If nothing works and you’re desperate to link stuff now, the way to do this manually is to type

[[Character-######]]

But replace the hashtags with your character’s number (which will be at the end of that character’s URL).

For example, a character of mine is at Bennadan

To link to him on another of my pages, I would type
Bennadan

Sorry that it wasn't very clear. There are two ways to link to other pages - one is through a linking field (a section where you can only choose a link from a list), and the other way is through a text field (any section you can type into). I've put together some how-tos for each type.

If your pages aren't doing what is shown in the screenshots, there might be another issue going on and it would be best to contact the site developer, andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer), at andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)@indentlabs.com
