Okay, so as I was editing Barfield's page, I kept getting annoyed with how messy everything was and how it would be complicated for users to edit the page and keep searching and searching for the location they would need to edit. How did I fix this? Simply. I made every location a template.

Right now Lebeaux is the only page that has these templates. As I'm finishing Barfield's page later today, I'll be moving those locations to templates and then I'll slowly start working on the other pages and converting everything.

First of all, I did this because it would make the pages look easier when editing street names, etc. Not so messy. Also, it'll make it easier for everyone when they're editing a location. Let's say someone wanted to edit Lebeaux Police Department. Now, that location is basically smack in the middle of the page and it's a whole mess to try and find it and you'd have to search for it. Too much work. I wanted to make this as simple as possible, so I made templates for everything.

Now, if you're wanting to edit Lebeaux Police Department, you click on the title of it. It will redirect you to where you can edit the template. I'm going to just simply explain this for now so everyone knows what's up. After I finish updating the pages, I'll add a section with information on the Get Started Guide. Anyway, the only section you'll need to edit should be the Employees. Luckily, this template is simple and has a nice little 'Employees' title thing. You create a new bullet point (unless the only bullet point is create one now, which you can just delete), and add your character. Now, personally, don't just add your characters name. I think it'd be useful if everyone could put what their character does there. For example, if Tanner del Rosario still existed, I would put "Tanner del Rosario is a police officer." Get the point? It's easy.

School pages are also pretty simple to edit. If your character is a teacher, put them under Faculty and put what they do. If your character is a student, put them under the correct grade level. For graduates, you put the year they graduated. So, not to confuse anyone, but I started to slowly add some of my older characters under the graduates section or the alumni section (alumni for universities/colleges). Now, the american school system is weird af and I kept getting everything confused. Basically, if you want your character who graduated like years and years ago to be on one of those lists, just let me know and I'll do the math for it. It's all very dumb and confusing and I'd suggest you just leave it alone for now because I don't feel like explaining.

Also, I'm going to try to edit mall/shopping center templates to make them easier to edit. Just don't mess with those right now.

So, yeah, I think that's about it for right now.
