Character Notes was initally supposed to be a place where you could describe your character, under the impression the mods didn't know who they were. Wiki is just sort of the easiest way for us to know who your character is and sometimes helps us judge if you're portraying them right.

Basically, 'Character Notes' is a summed up way of saying history/personality though a lot of people tend to pass it over or put jokes in instead (I'm totally guilty of that too XD). We allow wiki linking just for our sake, I think. I think the consensus was we didnt want to make it mandatory for people to write out histories or personalities (as it was sort of implied you would, beyond wiki-linking) but we are going to give kudos to people who do make the effort to write something themselves. Like, honestly, it'll help the mods see you know who you're playing.

At the end of the day, with the opportunity to show you know how to play a character? If you opt to just put a wiki link when you -can- show us you know, you're only hurting yourself. XD;; I hope this made sense and wasn't like, completely missing the point. Haha.
