Hey this will teach you guys how to edit the wiki
General
- Please read the rules before posting anywhere on the wiki.
- We record what is currently in game, don't add any items /etc that aren't yet in the game.
- Do not remove thanks. If you believe thanks have been wrongly accredited please PM me about the matter.
- Don't add rare until an item has left the game, even if you know its going to be gone soon.
- Spend a moment to familiarize yourself with the commands within the edit window.
- Please use internal wiki link whenever possible. Internal wiki links are set using -
[[[page name you wish to link to]]]
or
[[[page name you wish to link to | name to be displayed in the link]]]- Recent changes can be viewed via a link in the side panel. You may wish to filter your results.
- At the base of the page is an "options" button, some useful tools live here.
- When you edit a page, leave a note to say what you did to help other users & mods.
- If someone edits a page and does not leave a note, use the history tool to try and find out what they did and why before you take any action.
- If your entries are frequently being corrected by other users/mods, try to find out what you're doing wrong, it'll help everyone. ^-^
- If you find a spelling mistake on an item description/quest description/npc dialogue/etc, check it in game before amending. if there's a typo in game then sadly, we should have a typo here on the wiki.
- Notes and other additional information should be located the line below "Description".
- Try and edit with as few edits as possible, do not use the "save and continue" button.
- Do not break the page lock of any other user unless it has gone below 0 seconds on the timer. The wiki is not a race, it is preferred for users to take their time and get all the info necessary in one go. If your page lock is frequently broken by a specific user PM a complaint to me.
- When a page has multiple entries under one category, such as location or notes, please use bullet points.
- Do not add any information from the current PTR to any pages on the wiki unless it is under the PTR section. This includes screenshots.
- If someone has made a change to a page that is totally wrong, and it needs to just go back to the way it was, please try to use the revert tool. It is a much cleaner way of fixing things when it is appropriate.
Parenting
To set parent page, use options, parent, and enter the page you wish this page to be a sub category of. You can only parent to pages that currently exist. Try to follow the same parent path as other pages in said category. Here is a guideline;
Armors » Armor
Capes & Back Items » Cape/Back item
Classes » Class
Helmets & Hoods » Head item
Locations»Region(if applicable)»Mother Location(if applicable)»Location
Monsters » Monster
NPCs » NPC
Pets » Pet
Shops » Shop
Quests » Quest
Weapons » Weapon Type » Weapon
Houses » House
Furniture » Furniture
Other House Items » Other House Item
Wall Items » Wall Item
Factions » Faction
Wars » War
Events » Event
Mini-Games » Mini-Game
Tags_
Every page can be tagged by multiple reference words, this can be done by using the tag command at the bottom of a page. It is a way to categorize pages. All tags must be a single word, separate them in any manner and it will be considered as multiple separate tags. If you want to tag a page into an existing tag category ensure you spell it the same way (eg, sword is a different tag to swords). If you want to make a new tag category, suggest it in the tag discussion thread linked above, tags are virtually useless if only one page has the tag. If you don't understand a tag, click it and see what other items have the same tag.
Do not just add tags for the hell of it, and if you add an existing tag be sure it fits the criteria for that tag (look at the other pages with it, and refer to the master list on the forum). The more careful we are with our tags, the better they work.
Image Tags
We have a new, far easier way to deal with those pesky image tags. At the top of all templates, you should find the following;
[[include image-tags]]What does it do? Well it automatically adds every image tag to every page. However, they will only show up when the page is tagged with the appropriate tag (see above topic for more about tags), such as rare or member. So now, if you make a page for a weapon and need to add that crucial member image tag, there's no need to search the wiki for a link to the image, all you need do is complete your entry, and tag the page with "member" and voila, it appears like magic ^-^
However I do still lose some things every time I need them, so here they are;
Large Rare
