How To Create A Page
Creating a page is simple. Follow these steps to learn how to!

- Step 2) Now, copy the syntax of the template.
- Step 3) To create the page, in the Search Box, you will have to type in the name of the page as it appears in-game. For example, if you are creating a page for the Beta Blades, you would type Beta Blades in the search box.
- Step 4) Near the top of the search results, you will find the searched page name in red letters (If not created yet). Click on that red link to create the page.
- Step 5) Now, paste the template that you copied earlier on the "edit box" when you're editing the page.
- Step 6) Insert the information of the item in the correct categories. If it is 0 or none, remove the line.
- Step 7) In a new browser window or tab, click on the "Upload File" link on the left side of the page. Upload the photo of the item.
- Step 8) Now, remember the image name you saved your picture as, and copy it (Including the file format!) in the Image line of the template you used.
- Step 9) Now, click the "Show Preview" button at the bottom of the page. If all looks right, scroll down and click the "Save Page" button.
