Of particular importance to those who wish to post articles of original characters that have been/are currently used in other games: PDb’s purpose is to showcase original works created by the Champions Online community. We would prefer that any text or images with direct reference to Intellectual Properties other than CO are avoided. Links to outlying websites such as the VirtueVerse wiki are recommended if you would like to provide a reference to your (character’s) exploits in other games.

Article Creation

In order to create an article, it’s best to first determine if your character’s name has already been used. Type the name you wish to search for in the search text box and left-click on either the Go or Search buttons.

• If the search does not come up with a page with your chosen name, it will prompt you to create one by providing a red text link.
• If there is a page with the name already being used, do not overwrite the contents of that page with your own material! Instead, consider attaching a global name reference or the character’s real name in parentheses to your search.

Wiki Markup

In order to format articles, you’ll need to know a little about how “wiki markup” works: it’s a combination of special markings and HTML-like tags that alter how text or images appear on a screen.

Below is a quick reference table of often-used wiki markup.
