Welcome!
Hello, Cheeco88, and welcome to the Paragon Wiki! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Feel free to fill out your personal user page so we can get to know you. There is a collection of Userboxes you can easily add there. Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.
If you need help, ask me on my talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.
Don't forget to drop by and introduce yourself in the Forum. It will require a separate registration (login and password), but most users use the same username in both places. There's even a RSS Feed, if you're into that.
Also, make sure you take a look at the Help page. There is a lot of preloaded images, missions, and contact info, and what you want to add might already be there.
Again, welcome!

Character Images on My User Page
How exactly do I get images onto my page from my computer? Just pics of my chars. --Cheeco88
- I'm not sure how familiar you might taking screenshots or with wiki code, so bear with me if any of this is more information than you need.
- Capture a screenshot of your character.
- Crop the images as you see fit and resize the image to a reasonable size for uploading. An image at a full 1280 x 1024 would be a bit larger than necessary, for example. I try to keep any images I upload at or under 640 x 512, so I guess that could be a rough guideline. (Here is an example.)
- When your image is ready, look over at the links on the left hand side of the page. Under "Toolbox" you will see a link to "Upload image/file". Select that link.
- On the upload page, click the "Browse" button and locate the image you wish to upload.
- When you have selected the image, the "Destination filename" field will automatically be populated with the name of the file you selected for upload. You may change this field if you wish to upload the image with a different name.
- In the "Summary" field, you'll want to add a category label to the image you are uploading. In this case, you'll want to use [[Category:Player Images]]. (Or, if you're familiar with how to do so, you may categorize the image with something like [[Category:Cheeco88 Personal Images]] and then add that as a subcategory to the Player Images category.)
- Once all of the information has been entered on the Upload page, click on the "Upload File" toward the bottom.
- You will now be able to insert your image anywhere on the wiki by using a link to the image. For example, [[Image:Badge tourist 01.png]] will insert this image on a page:
