Welcome to the wiki for Lithl campaigns. These pages are meant for detailing the settings and characters of tabletop roleplaying games run by Lithl, or any other GM given permission by Lithl to use this wiki for their own campaigns.
Getting started
To view pages related to a campaign, select the campaign you're interested in from the sidebar. For example, to view the homepage of the "Memories" campaign, click Memories.
Page editing on this wiki is restricted to approved accounts. If you wish to make changes to any articles, please contact Lithl and request approval. If you are a GM who wishes to use this wiki for their own campaign, you must also request a namespace for your campaign. All campaign articles should be restricted to their own namespace, to avoid page title collisions.
Editing this wiki as a GM
If you've been given GM privileges for a campaign, you will be able to edit pages in that campaign's GM namespace. The content of GM pages cannot be viewed by anyone other than the GM(s) for that campaign, and site admins, so it's an option to use for making notes you don't want players to see, or for writing up articles ahead of revealing the content to players. If you want the GM page to be revealed, you can move the page into the campaign's namespace from the GM namespace.
For example: Memories:Main page is a public page in the Memories campaign namespace. Anyone can read the page, whether they're logged in or not. MemoriesGM:Notes is in the MemoriesGM namespace, and as such only the GM can view it. If the GM wished to make that page visible to players, they could move MemoriesGM:Notes to Memories:Notes.
Caveats
- Links to GM pages will reveal that the page exists (by not being a red link). Consider whether the title of the page would spoil any of its content.
- GM pages cannot be included into other pages. If you want to create a series of templates for structuring campaign pages and don't want to pollute the Template namespace with them, you can't put them in the GM namespace (and should therefore avoid creating templates which themselves spoil content of a GM page).
- If a GM page is added to a category, viewing that category page will reveal the existence of the GM page. Unauthorized users still won't be able to view the contents of the page, but digging through the categories on the site would reveal the existence of the page even if you don't link to it anywhere.
