Hello, everyone! Looking for a spot to add more details about all your characters? How about more information on those creatures and spells that we keep learning about? Or how about those businesses and other schools? Well, you came to the right place! Everyone is free to create a Wiki page for their own characters and add it to the spreadsheets if they wish to do so. Do you need some help on adding? Feel free to post the info and we'll be more than happy to do it. Please keep in mind that these spreadsheets are kept up to date by an individual basis per RPer and may not include all characters nor be 100% accurate to the current SSRPG timeline.
To have a spreadsheet link be included in this post, you MUST contact a Wizarding World Admin. Thanks.

So, you know how a professor asks a question in a class and you google "Harry Potter wiki" plus whatever you are looking for? Well, I thought we should create our own wiki to archive SS canon information! We have had so many wonderful events, spells and potions created, characters, etc., and all we have is Hogwarts, A History for former staff. I thought this was we could archive everything that pertains to the SS RPG world there. That includes, spells, potions, events, items, characters, locations, etc., and so on. This is not a wiki for canon Harry Potter, so don't add Wingardium Leviosa and Hogsmead. SS canon.
Everyone is free to create a page for their own characters, if they wish to do so. However, my vision for this was mostly to archive SS canon information, which is why I am posting this here, to ask for your help to contribute to the page. Anyone with an account can create a page, and accounts are free, so everyone can participate. SS is as huge community and we are gonna need as many people as we can to fill as much as we can.
So, R2D2 (Daemon) did a thing and I just updated it!
If you have any other characters you want to add (that are currently at other magical schools in the canon), this spreadsheet is just for our reference (since so many charries are played on Twitter these days). If you don't see your charries listed, add 'em! Anyone can edit. *has a duplicate*
Wizarding Schools 2089-2090
*edited in afterwards*
Wizarding Primary Education 2089-2090
Wizarding Higher Education 2089-2090
Also, Ern and I did another spreadsheet for Wizarding media (musicians, models, authors, businesses, etc). This spreadsheet can also be edited. If you have any characters like this, feel free to add them all in the appropriate tabs!
Wizarding World Media
NOTE: Shoutouts to Ameh and Stephen for their brilliance in helping create the "Higher Education" spreadsheet. And also, to the many other members who've come together on the "Wizarding Media" one. It's been such a collaborative effort!

first off this is a most awesome idea!
next i just need to ask some techie questions (bcz i cant help it and it will guide me when i get around to uploading content)
- do we have a space limit for that site? how many GBs, pages et al.
- is there some kind of auto-cataloging/ indexing for the site? someone already mentioned using the search bar and not getting any results. is that something done automatically by Wikia or something the global editor/s need to do manually?
thats all i can think of right now *ish tired*

I don't know about size, but at this point, you shouldn't not create a page out of size concerns. IMO.
Cataloging is mostly done through the addition of categories when you create a new article, and the more specific tags you add, the better. Sme of us are going back in and cleaning up and adding tags to make more searches possible, but it is arduous work and would be easier if they were put in correctly on the front end. Although I'd be adding them anyway because we keep thinking of new ways info can be organized... By class, for example, so we add graduation year.
The search box is relatively limited in some ways, but it works. I haven't spent much time using it, but I can pull things up. Pages pull up if you search correctly, but you can't pull up a category that I can see. Something to work out as we roll along.

Okay, I don't think I'll do pages for all my charries (since at last count I was already up to 10 xD Or at least I won't do pages for them all right now) But maybe I'll put one up for Renée, as former school staff would definitely be canon. And maybe Dorian (Ministry). Maybe Rhiannon as well, although some of her history verges a bit on the violent side thanks to RPing done with Khat when Rhiannosh was still active

I have a question: Are you guys adding all the plants that are mentioned in The Ultimate Guide to Herbology? Or are you picking some? Because I think some of them exist in other encyclopedias. (Figured that while doing homeowork. )
.. I really don't have a problem if you are or not, I'm just checking to see if I can join you.

I am adding all of them because I think Hera added her own additional information like uses, care, and so on. I just haven't gotten to all of them. If you can help, that would be great.

Just lurking around the site today I found this thread and was all !
THIS is such an awesome idea, Luke. I might contribute to it when I have time...until then I'll definitely be stalking other people's pages and bookmarking the forum and yes getting all excited about the whole thing.
I made a page for Cantra, school in Germany. That is where Wist Ebony used to be before coming to Hogwarts. I see that all the spells are done, so I doubt I can help there.
Thank you to everyone who has made a contribution. I can't believe we have over 260 pages total, 60 characters, 42 spells, 32 potions, 80 magical plants, and so on.
I am going to be editing the front page to make it a little easier to navigate. Meanwhile, keep those pages coming and make use of them! Have your character show off in a class by performing a different spell or something. I did it last term got 10 extra points!!!
I've started working on the transfiguration stuff from the earlier terms. I figured most people would start from the beginning, but I think a lot of the recent transfiguration prof are using the old stuff anyways.

Started working on a page for Renée. Although (and maybe this is because I'm trying to deal with coding at 2:30 am) How do you get the picture to show up on the character page? Because it's not working for me.

Do you mean in that table, format, template thing? You get the picture link from like Photobucket, and you have the [ IMG ] [/ IMG ] coding around it in the image part of the template. When it's just on the page though you upload it on the side with the 'add features and media part', you click photo, and follow the stuff from there such as upload and adding.
If that doesn't work I have no idea Sorry if it's confusing, I'm horrible at explaining stuff.
