There's a page I want to split but I can't find step-by-step instructions on how to do it, to make sure that existing links point to the split-off page, etc.

What's the page, and what's the kind of splitting you want to do? -- Drini 20:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Irina Derevko, I want to split the section on Katya Derevko off onto its own page and make sure all the links which currently redirect to Irina get pointed to the new page.Otto4711 21:26, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Also I would like to know how to insert the Character chart that's found at the bottom of the Irina page into the new page and how to add characters to the chart.Otto4711 21:34, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Firstly, take a look at Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (writing about fiction).

I'm not advocating the splitting of the article - perhaps an Alias wiki (that deals just with Alias) is what you are looking for.

To do the split you just create the new article. You would need to check the "What links here" for the Irina Derevko page (available in the toolbox, under the search bar) to fix any links. The "Character chart" is a template available at Template:alias. Any change to the template will affect all pages it's used on - so discuss on the talk page first.--Commander Keane 22:35, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, I give up

How do I add something to a category page, for example http://en.wikipedia.org/Category:Fictional_technology

To add a page to that category you do not edit the category page itself. You add ] at the bottom of the article you want to add. Check out any article, eg Tai Nam Wan, to see how categories are added.--Commander Keane 07:36, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

TAR

Hello Otto...thanks for your note. I guess the 'issue' about Frankenberry is that there are multiple editors of the page all of whom don't recall this nickname. As I stated, I've just rewatched all the episodes (not because of this!) and don't hear it. If it is in there once, does that constitue a real nickname? If I am hearing Fran N' Barry but they said Frankenberry once...does that truly need to be in the page. I guess that will be a discussion point. As you might have seen I have reopened the discussion on the TAR discussion page. With regards to having to 'prove' this, all the other nicknames are easily recalled by multiple editors thus there wasn't a need to specify an episode/timestamp. Those nicknames were used continously in multiple episodes by multiple teams. KsprayDad 12:27, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
