It is still not possible to create and/or edit character pages, although I have been granted access on 25 Jan 2017 (Help Desk Contact #16220060 - Meredith). This is more than 3 months ago now.
Can you please help?
Many thanks,

Thanks for your message.
I have just checked your account and you have all the necessary requirements and accesses to be able to create character pages. I have just tested myself and I can get through to adding a character page so I can't recreate the issue. We are aware of some ongoing functionality issues with character pages.
If the issue still persists I would advise trying with a different browser, clearing your cookies etc and seeing if that helps.
Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

I understand that you are still experiencing problems creating/editing character pages on the site. Can you try again and confirm what exact character page you are trying to create or edit (and for what title), and post a screen grab of the error you are seeing here so our staff can take a look?

On the bottom I go to: "Create a character page for" and the system proposes "Freddy Verstuyft"
So I click on "Create" and I get the following page:

I wonder if it is from the referring page. I notice your URL looks different than mine. Yours goes to a help URL. I can't seem to recreate that even using the "?" button that is beside the create button. Can you post a screen grab of the page you are clicking the create button on? (I only see it on the title page but maybe there is another way that I don't know about.)

Thanks for your help. I always get the Help screen "Character page editing guidelines" when I try to create a character page. I tried with Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. I also tried to delete all cookies. I'm not sure what I can do more. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Thanks for the response.
As my colleague mentioned, this should be working okay - can you confirm where you're trying to add the character and the method you're using to do so. It's unlikely to help but I've also removed and re-added your user ID to the white list now, once we have the answers to these questions we'll see if there's anything else we can find out!
