Player Page Upkeep

Player Page Upkeep

An updated player page is a happy player page.

Find a Player's Ork Page

There are a number of ways to do so. The more information you have, the easier it is.

• If all you have is their Amtgard name, you can search for it in the top right corner. This tends to give a lot of noise, and is difficult to use well.
• If you know their name and Kingdom, you can go to the kingdom page on the ORK, Expand the "Find" tab, click "Players" and enter their name here. This is usually enough to find most players.
• If you know what park they play in, you can go to the park page on the ORK, and use the "Search Players" link.
• If none of the above works, you will probably have to reach out to the player themselves, or a PM for either their park or kingdom.

Getting a Player's ORK ID

Once you have found the player's page on the ORK, look in the address bar. You should see an address similar to this...

https://amtgard.com/ork/orkui/index.php?Route=Player/index/58948

The numbers all the way to the right are the player's Ork ID.

New Players

• Only create accounts for users when they request it, or with their permission Some people prefer that their information not be publicized.
• Use the Player Entry Template for the basic framework of the page. Fill out as much of the appropriate information as possible.
• Check their ORK page to for notable awards, titles, masterhoods etc...

Updating Player Pages

This will most frequently be a followup to an update made by the player themselves. What happens most often is they will change their page to indicate a new title shown, or award received, location change etc... and we will need to make sure their categories are up to date.

Occasionally a player will reach out for us to make a change on their behalf because they cannot get logged into the wiki, or are receiving an error when they update their page. In this case we should both make the update, and try to fix the issue they are having as well.

Moving Player Pages

Moving Player Pages There are a few circumstance under which this will need to be done.

• The player changes their name.
• The player uses a title as part of the page name.
• The player created their page on their User page.
• To create a disambiguation page when multiple players have the same name, or a player has the same name as an Amtgard term.

Instructions:

• Just go to the user's page, and click the "Move" tab at the top of the page.
• Under "To new title:" put the name you want to change the page to.
• Enter a reason in the "Reason" field.
• Check or uncheck boxes for leaving a redirect as appropriate, usually it is a good idea to leave a redirect, unless you intend to create a new page with the same name as the old one.
