You needed help? That was your class there, The Host, right? It's a hot mess right now, but it has content in there somewhere. -- [[User:Eiji-kun|Eiji-kun]] ([[User talk:Eiji-kun|talk]]) 08:30, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
: if you like i ahve a proper page set up and i'm just utterly confused by these things xD, i'm bad with formats, IO have everything on there just nto clue how to make it work properly
:: https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/The_Host
::While it'll be a bit longer before I have time for an in depth attempt (I'm a bit busy elsewhere) I'll give you the run down on some basic tricks and tips, beginners traps, etc.
::First, unless it says to delete it, don't delete any of the preload. I think you got that, but a lot of people skip that. That includes your author box, which you want to fill out so you can get credit for your swag. One exception is the comment tags. Anything that looks <-- like it's in this -->. That's meant to be replaced. Think of it as a form to fill out, and that's saying <-- name here --> or <-- address here -->. If you don't delete it, it'll just be hidden.
::Likewise don't delete your tags, the (3.5e Whatever) part. That tells the wiki what this is supposed to be. At the moment the Host is floating in the void, unlisted anywhere because it doesn't know if this is a 3.5e Class, or a 5e Feat, or whatever.
::Then, if you don't know the formatting feel free to find a similar, completed page and hit edit so you can see the code. For example here is a [[Sol-Eiji the Lunatic Sun (3.5e Vestige)|link to a vestige named Sol-Eiji]]. When you edit this page you'll see how I made that link. It's <nowiki>[[The Page Title (3.5e Whatever)|What the link actually says]]</nowiki>. Also, you probably also just learned the use of the nowiki command there, in case you want it to show up without becoming a link.
::Lastly, remember that when you post something on the mainspace it becomes free reign for people to vote on it, since that stuff is supposed to be done, or near done, or playable. If you don't feel your work is to that point, you can always either stick it in a notepad offline, or put it in your Sandbox (I can show you how to set one up).
::I'll come by later and probably move the class to the correct title. Until then, hopefully this helps your formatting woes. Speaking of which... what IS the Host? Was it a 3.5e Class? 5e? I figure it was a class from the looks of it. -- [[User:Eiji-kun|Eiji-kun]] ([[User talk:Eiji-kun|talk]]) 08:56, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
::: It's a 3.5e Class that is from another site that has frequent issues, i wanted to port it over so i had more a more stable site to use and i don't really need credit for any of it, just wanted it here since it's mor e likely that it won't get deleted at random or changed to something completely else by someone, because that does happen on there if sandbox is a way to keep random things like this and not have to deal with problems of people question it or getting mad it's from elsewhere i'd like to use it so thanks for telling me and the hints, i think i accidentally deleted on of the major 3.5 tags that allowed it to figure out stats so thanks for pointing it out [[User:Lucii|Lucii]] ([[User talk:Lucii|talk]]) 12/6/16 8:51 GMT
::::Ok, well I do need to ask that you are sure you have the author's permission to port it over. Otherwise we can't actually host it. That said, we could Sandbox it so you'd still have access to it, we just can't say "We decided to host Bob's work" and Bob's not cool with it. See if you can get permission.
::::Even so, I see you've already begun edits. Keep it up, I'll move it to the correct title later and/or your Sandbox. Sandboxing basically consists of me making a subpage of your User page, and linking it appropriately. Doesn't show up in navigation, but the link will always be on your user page so it's all good. -- [[User:Eiji-kun|Eiji-kun]] ([[User talk:Eiji-kun|talk]]) 09:29, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
::::: Best to put it in sandbox because it's going to be near impossibel to contact the orginal authur since it's about 4 or more years old and i think the creator stop doing anything -- ([[User talk:Lucii|talk]]) 12/6/16 9:32 GMT
::::::Done, on your user page. And [[User:Lucii/The Host (3.5e Class)|here as well]]. -- [[User:Eiji-kun|Eiji-kun]] ([[User talk:Eiji-kun|talk]]) 10:23, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
:::::::Thank you very much, so do i need to ahve the page deleted or is it fine? [[User:Lucii|Lucii]]([[User talk:Lucii|talk]]) 12/6/16 5:32 (UTC-5)
::::::::By moving it instead of copy pasting it, there's no need to delete. We're good. -- [[User:Eiji-kun|Eiji-kun]] ([[User talk:Eiji-kun|talk]]) 11:52, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
::::::::: Ok Thank you, Does that mean i can just put things on their instead to ahve them if it can't be on the main page and such? or should i just keep them on my personal page. [[User:Lucii|Lucii]]([[User talk:Lucii|talk]]) 12/6/16 6:54 (UTC-5)
(RESET INDENT) Your sandbox page is part of your personal page (you can tell this because it'll be User:Lucii/The Host) so you can go hog wild with it. So, same thing. -- [[User:Eiji-kun|Eiji-kun]] ([[User talk:Eiji-kun|talk]]) 11:59, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
:So how do you make more sub pages or should i just keep it the way i have it? [[User:Lucii|Lucii]]([[User talk:Lucii|talk]]) 12/6/16 7:05 (UTC-5)
::You can make more subpages by adding "/Whatever" to the end of the URL of your user page. You can also do this by making the link first, like this: [[User:Lucii/Whatever]]. You'll notice this is a dead link, and that's because the page doesn't exist yet. If you go there, you'll have a completely empty page to work with where you can use it like that, or more likely import something from outside like a preload you're working on. Give it a try on something. -- [[User:Eiji-kun|Eiji-kun]] ([[User talk:Eiji-kun|talk]]) 12:30, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
:::Thank you that will help alot so i won't over load my main page [[User:Lucii|Lucii]]([[User talk:Lucii|talk]]) 12/6/16 7:39 (UTC-5)

I noticed that you are making a few parasitic classes, you may want to look at the [[Dream Lord (3.5e Prestige Class)|Dream Lord]], [[Viveka Spectre (3.5e Prestige Class)|Viveka Spectre]], [[Stranger with the Burning Eyes (3.5e Prestige Class)|Stranger with the Burning Eyes]], [[Soulbinder (3.5e Prestige Class)|Soulbinder]], or [[Eldritch Horror Paragon, Insidious Parasite Path (3.5e Racial Paragon Class)|Insidious Parasite]] for inspiration.
