Using these Templates
To use the sheet, do the following steps:
- Copy the source code from the template to your character page.
- To create your own page, just search for the name you want to use, and then (if it's not already in use), click the "Create <page> on this wiki" link.
- Make sure that you aren't editing the original template page!
- Note that domain and venue pages should be created as categories. See the instructions in each section for details.
- Fill the sections in with the template for your venue.
- Customize icons - replace the banner and placeholder image with your own
- Character Icons can be found here.
- Customize color - you can either use one of the CSS Sheets, or the custom style sheet at the bottom of this page
- Add Categories - reference the MES Wiki Category List for the categories to add to the bottom of the page
Detailed Customization
These wiki pages are a starting point, meant for people with minimal wiki experience. If you want to go beyond the base layout, you can modify the layout code in the Template-specific formatting section at the bottom of each template.
Here are some good resources to get started on more advanced customization:
- MediaWiki Formatting
- W3 Schools for learning HTML and CSS
- HTML Colors

CSS Sheets
Replace the following code in the template with the reference to the CSS template that you want (i.e: vampire.css for Masquerade, or space.css for Infinite Edge)
{{#css:MyPage/vampire.css}}
If you want to just customize some colors, you can also modify just the parts that you want changed in the layout section at the bottom of the template.
- Masquerade (vampire.css)
- Masquerade (vampire_red.css)
- MES Wiki (mes.css)
- Custom style sheet - If you want to customize your colors beyond a style sheet, use the following code block, and change the colors, and borders to your desired appearance. Note that not all templates use all of the sections.
