There is no character / player template as such. One might be designed to demonstrate (e.g.) settlement membership, religion, server, basic specialization, etc. On the other hand, the player namespace is limited to text display, so it would be limited to the user pages in practice.

Description

The Player: namespace is for game characters and can be seen in-game when selecting Find on Wurmpedia when right-clicking a character. The User: namespace refers to user accounts on the Wurmpedia. Many players will not have a corresponding user, and many users may have multiple players.

Note that Player namespace articles belong to the associated in-game account; therefore, if the account is transferred, the new owner will have the rights to that article.

See the Category:Players for a list of player character articles.

To edit your Player article, you need a User or Editor account.
