Posting New Mission Reports

For information about writing missions, go to Mission Writing Guide

To keep a reasonably well-organized list of mission reports, it's important that new missions be linked on the Wiki. If you don't know how to edit the Wiki, it's relatively easy. Check the Editing Help page for more information.

Posting a New Mission
We're going to assume here that your agents, Alice and Bob, have just finished their first mission, "Mary-Sue Goes to Rivendell", in the Lord of the Rings continuum. Here's what you should do:

2. Link your mission from your agents' pages.
 Example code for Alice and Bob's first mission, on Alice's Agent page:
 * You can create an Agent page if you have not already done so; the profile you used when you applied for permission, or wrote when you created the agent, can usually be turned easily into the agent's wiki page. You may want to use the Agent Infobox Template for the agent's page. On the page, you should note that Alice and Bob are partners, and which department they are in. Remember to add a category ("PPC Agents" and their department) on each Agent's page.
 * Agent pages can be fairly minimal; just create them so we know your agent exists and which missions he has been on.

3. List your mission on the The Complete List of PPC Fiction.
On this page, PPC missions and other stories are listed by department.
 * Create a new department listing if your Agents are the first to post a mission report in that department; otherwise, find the correct department and division and edit that.
 * On the Complete List, link to your Agents' page instead of to individual missions.
 * If your agents' homepage is already listed, all you have to do is increase the number after the entry.

Example code for Alice and Bob's first mission, on The Complete List of PPC Fiction:

4. List your mission under the continuum where it takes place.
This helps people in the same fandom find missions in their favorite continua.
 * You should link to your mission and then list your agents and their department.
 * If your agents only go on missions in the same continuum, you can link to their page and put a number in parentheses after the link, like you did for the Complete List page, to save space.
 * If you are in a Department or Division dedicated to a particular continuum, check to see whether that division's Complete List section is linked from the continuum; if so, you don't need to list your agents' page specifically.
 * If the Continuum does not exist, create the page. If you are in a hurry, only a sentence or two is really necessary to describe the continuum; the page can be filled later.

Example code for Alice and Bob's first mission, on The Lord of the Rings page:

5. List your mission under your agents' home Department.
This helps people find a certain sort of mission that they like to read, like assassinations or exorcisms.
 * If your agents completed all their missions in the same department, just link to your Agents' page.
 * You should note your Agents' names and the continuum, unless you are posting on a page where it's obvious which continuum the mission is set in (such as a specific Division of the DoMS).

Example code for Alice and Bob's first mission, on the Department of Mary-Sues page:

Some General Rules

 * If you're not sure how to add your mission to the Wiki, go ahead and ask for help; nobody will bite your head off. It's a relatively minor job to do, and most likely somebody will offer to put up the mission for you.
 * Don't worry too much about messing up. Even if you mess up royally and destroy a page, it can just be reverted back to the way it used to be before you made your mistake.
 * If your mission is NSFW or NSFB, mention that on the link to prevent unnecessary squickage.
 * Useful info about links:
 * Links to a different page on the PPC Wiki are the page title enclosed in double square brackets: Mary Sue.
 * If you want the link to say something else, put the page title first, then the word you want it to be: annoying glittery brat.
 * Links outside the wiki are enclosed in single square brackets:
 * If you want your outside link to say something other than the link text, put that phrase after the link, separated by a space: Alice and Bob's Site
