No worries. Helping people learn to use the site is just part of the job for me . . . I wish it was a paying gig, lol. In any case, you can't change the name of a page without moving that page. First use the option in the left bar of the page to find all the references that link to the page by using the option <code>What links here</code>. You need to make sure that you change all of those links to the new page name. Then go back to the page you are "changing the name of" and select the <code>More</code> dropdown at the top of the page, then the <code>Move</code> option from that dropdown. Change the name to the new name and save the page. It will create a redirect, but after I verify that all of the links to the page have been changed, I will delete that redirect. Viola, your page name has been changed. | |||
Also, to use the signature system for the site, you just have to type four tilde symbols in a row <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>, or if you are on a talk page use the signature button (it looks like an x with a cursive l following it all underlined . . . third button from the left). You can also edit what shows up for your signature if you like under preferences. | |||

There are a few problems with your story: Noah's Descent.
First: The page: Noah's Descent/NoahStoryOption seems to be incomplete, and has no category.
Second: The page: Noah's Character Page is an orphaned page (no pages link to it), it does not include the story name in the title, and there is no category on the page.
Third: The page: Noah's Descent/PC Noah does not have a category on the page.
Fourth: The Template: Template:Character Stats is too generic a name. It is best to include the story name in this type of template since it is specific to your story.
I fixed a fifth page by adding a category to the page. I also fixed your random use of mismatched quotation marks. It is best when using a word processor to write for the internet to turn off the automatic change of quotation marks to opening and closing quotation marks in the settings. This can wreck havoc on case-sensitive systems like this site's.
