I may have just missed this from the guide but how would one change the prompt titles in the "Template Specific Prompts & Connections"? Say for example from 'Current Residence' to 'Place of Burial'
Nov 29, 2020 12:30
Hi! You can't change the title of the pre-defined prompts, but you can create your custom ones. These prompts either appear as regular heads in the page, or as smaller text fields in the sidebar. To replicate the sidebar fields, just type
--KEY::VALUE--(using the BBCode editor), and replace KEY with the field name (e.g. Place of Burial) and VALUE with the field content. Hope this helps!

Thank you for making this, one of the few downsides of this site is that it takes a while to figure out how everything works.

Hey! It says you can update the introduction to your world, but how do you do so? Probably super obvious, but I am super new here lol.
Dec 27, 2020 12:14
Hi! If you mean the introduction on the world main page, you can do so from the world configuration! Hope this helps :)

is there an undo button? i accidentally erased alot of text.
Jan 18, 2021 15:38
Ctrl+Z should work as normal!

Thank you! I´ll keep that in mind next time, it was to late now. Is there anywhere you can see previous versions of an article?

Unfortunately, version control is not a feature currently!

Ok, I´ll make sure to back up my writing in the future. Thanks for the help!

I also just lost an unreasonable amount of work with a single keystroke and I wasn't able to undo. Literally copy pasted something in the wrong spot and tried to ctrl-z immediately, but it didn't work. Absolutely infuriating, and pretty much guarantees I'll be looking for another service as soon as possible.

Same thing as __sedge__ , Same reaction. Just lost over 10 pages of work with no backup to 1 mistake of Ctrl-A, before I could deselect all the text, I accidently hit a random letter key, and all the work was instantly gone, no Ctrl-z could save it.

I recall there being some issues with "non-standard" characters being typed in and causing issues with the save/autosave function. Symbols like Ancient Sumerian characters. Could there be a mention of that (I don't know if there is a full list, and I think it has something to do with security)

Good point! I've added a mention of this in the FAQ. Thanks!

Happy to help - I've not seen anyone asking in the discord about it, but remembered some people getting frustrated over losing a lot of work as a result.

I'm having an issue with my sidebar panels appearing at the bottom of my article and not on the side. I'm not sure what I did wrong. The width of the text in them isn't too long, mainly bullet point info, but I can't seem to fix it. Problem shows up on PC, not mobile (which would make sense given the smaller screen.) TIA for the help

Hi! This usually happens when there are unclosed BBCode tags. Make sure that every opening tag has a closing equivalent! For example, a [li][/noprase] should have a [noparse][/li] closing each item. Same for [noparse]
- [/noprase]s and others. Let me know if that helps!

You're amazing; it worked. Thankfully, I didn't have to read through 50,000 lines of code. This is why I tell people coding is hard! Thank you so much
Mar 4, 2021 16:03
Good to know you managed to fix it even though I messed up the format in my own comment! :P Tip: you can use the WYSIWYG editor to avoid having to type BBCode tags! The editor is not as flexible when it comes to formatting, but if that's not a priority for you, it's pretty handy!

Reposting from inside a thread for visibility: I also just lost an unreasonable amount of work with a single keystroke and I wasn't able to undo.

Hi! We're aware of specific issues with the editors and the auto-save. Copy-pasting specifically causes issues sometimes —so sorry you got caught up in that. We're still in beta, so bugs are expected, but we're definitely looking into these issues, we know they're important. If you're interested in helping us improve, feel free to report the bug with all the details you can remember to our bug tracker. Thank you!

If I changed the name of a character, is there a way I could change the name that shows up in every link to that character?
Aug 31, 2021 16:49
Not automatically, but there's a way to get a list of all articles that include a link to the character. Find the "Referenced in..." box in the additional tools of the right side panels while editing your article. Hope this helps!

How do you add the big upper picture?
Mar 16, 2022 10:15
You can set the article cover image from the Design tab while you're editing it. Simply type in the name of the image file you've uploaded and select the correct one from the results.

For some reason i can't get the preview text of my Character to update. Before i go to the Character Page, if i only Click on the Folder with my Character Name, there's a short text being displayed. No matter if i change it on my Character Sheet or not, it stays the same old text i typed there initially.
Jun 29, 2022 01:07
Nvm. i found my mistake :) The option i was looking for was in the "Design" section of my Character's Category.
Nov 11, 2022 00:04
Is linear navigation no longer working? All of the articles I have set up with it no longer function, and the option for setting them up is no longer appearing.
Nov 11, 2022 09:07
It's been disabled at this moment in time, but it's currently under investigation and the devs are working to try to find a solution. You can see the progress on this in the bug report page.

Okay cool, thank you for letting me know!

How do you set the previous and next articles displayed on each side of the category?
Apr 21, 2023 10:42
Go to the Articles interface (from the left sidebar), click on an article and on the right panel, click on "Show additional options" and use the Previous article and Next article options there.

Is there a way to add a wiki-like table of contents to an article so that a reader can jump directly to the section they're interested in?
May 29, 2023 08:11
There is! Use the [articletoc] code to generate a table of contents based on the article headers. I usually put it at the top of the sidebar!

how do i copy and paste into an article without losing all my formatting ?
Nov 29, 2024 15:03
Hi! If you're using the Visual Editor, this should already be happening if you copy from software like Microsoft Word.

How do you edit a character's personal history? I haven't been working on World for a while and realized I had a typo in this character's personal history area. When I tried looking for it, I couldn't figure out how to edit it.
Hi! You can click the "Show Template Specific Prompts & Connections" button at the bottom of the edit page. This should reveal all available text fields, including personal history.
Thanks!
