Problem description:

I am making a game to where I'd like Admins to check on people's information in their statpanel as well as maybe a code to change it if need be. Reason is: I can't get it so if a certain age or name is entered it will ask again, so I was wondering if I could find a verb for Admins to check and change if necessary.

You'll probably want a browser window that will display the stats, with the option to edit them (probably through use of topic() and edit())

What Lugia said. I worked on an HTML version of an edit system that used to be commonly found... now, when I was working on this - I was still learning about lists so editing THOSE values are not the wisest idea to change.

To answer your question of how to ask again, well - this is what you will learn through more experience: 
do   //  This keyword tells DM to run through this statement first then repeat if the while() condition is true.
   src.name = input(src, "What is your name?","Name",src.key)
while(src.name == src.key || length(src.name) < 6)   //   While the name is the same as your key or < 6 characters


I could have done this: 
name = src.key
while(src.name == src.key || length(src.name) < 6)
   src.name = input(src, "What is your name?","Name",src.key)
which will have the same effect - EXCEPT I would have to make sure that the name satisfies that while() statement in order to execute it - which is not a worry for the first example.
