A. Just log in and edit the page. Any variables you change will be updated on the page once you click the "Save Page" button.
Q. Is it okay to change the name variable when editing a page?
A. Changing your characters name is fine, just so long as it is consistent in all variables throughout the wiki. (e.g. Stories with the characters name as the author variable)
