Editing
When you create a page, you do not need to attach a link to that very page in the lead, since it serves no purpose and doesn't even show up as a link, anyway - just put the first word of the lead in bold, and that's all. Also, always capitalise words like 'Khajiit' and 'Breton.'  Lastly, try to use the correct link for the games to which the rest of the article refers. For examble, the Abuana page you recently created started with "Abuana is a khajiit," using both an invalid link and one that simply goes to the page for generic info about Khajiit rather than Khajiit (Online), which specifically refers to the race in TESO - Erik the Mad (talk) 07:18, June 16, 2015 (UTC)

Online Pages
Hey Louise, great job on all the pages! I see Erik has already commented on changes to your edits but I also just want to say in addition to what he has said, that the pages should look like my recent edit on Abuana. The infobox parameters should be spaced just for neatness and to clean the page up a bit as well. As well as correctly categorizing each page.

Nice edits and I hope you continue. Thanks. — AutoBlood  Talk  23:08, June 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't know why it comes out like this. When I copy/paste the {{OnlineNPCs Template, it shows all spaced out and nice-looking but when I'm done editing, it becomes all clustered. Doing the copy/paste just makes my job easier is all. Thanks for the feedback as well. --Louise 069 {{sup|(talk)}} 05:12, June 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * The spacing issue is probably caused by your use of Wikia's new VisualEditor, rather than Source Editor. While Visual can be helpful in some situations, it is extremely buggy (largely due to its young age), so I recommend switching your preferred editor to Source. This can be done by going to your Preferences, then the "Editing" section, and finally look under the "Editing experience" heading and change the tab titled "Preferred editor" from "Wikia's new Visual Editor" to "Source Editor," then scroll to the bottom of the page and hit "Save." Source mode gives you more options and is significantly more stable than Visual which is why it is preferrable.


 * Regarding your edits—excellent work! We are severely lacking in ESO content and your contributions have been a big help. There are a couple of relatively minor things you need to keep in mind when making pages in the future, in addition to what Erik and Auto advised: character categorization in ESO goes city > region > province. So, if you know what city the character is in, for example Wayrest, you do not need to add the region category (in this case Online: Stormhaven Characters), you only need to add the city category (in this case Online: Wayrest Characters). Also, the "Appearances" section should always be in the plural form, even if the character only appears in one game. Aside from those your articles seem to be in good shape, keep up the great work! —Atvelonis {{sup|(talk)}} 06:01, June 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * I've been using source mode since the beginning and its still doing that. I don't know why its doing this. --Louise 069 {{sup|(talk)}} 06:55, June 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hmm. Well, your contributions say you are using Visual Editor, although this could just be a bug with the system. Might be worth talking to Wikia support. —Atvelonis {{sup|(talk)}} 01:43, June 18, 2015 (UTC)

Infobox formatting
Hi Louise, when creating pages make sure to include the  parameter above , and make sure that you add the parameters in the order they will appear when the article is published. So image, then race, then gender, then level, etc. Happy editing! —Atvelonis (talk) 20:10, June 19, 2015 (UTC)

Interactions
Forgot to mention this earlier, also if a character is involved in any quests don't forget to add the quest under an Interactions section as well as in the infobox, with the name of the quest as the subheader. For example Alandis is involved in the quest "Pact Advocate," so you would do:

==Interactions==  ===Pact Advocate===
