Help:Editing

How to Edit

Most pages require a editor with the "editor" role to approve revisions before they show up, so feel free to edit stuff, it just won't show up until an editor approving it. Please follow the Standards, Conventions, and Guidelines described below to ensure your suggestions are approved and conform to the wiki style.

If you wish to have the editor role please request it in the discord, the mods there can add you to the wiki contributor role which give access to the wiki channel there.

How to Be Helpful

As the wiki is still in heavily development, pretty much any contribution is helpful. To get the wiki in a fully-featured state more quickly you may want to consider working on the following tasks:

• Uploading Wanted Files
• Creating Wanted Pages (Using appropriate templates as applicable)
• Those with Editor rank can also contribute by approving files and pages and Creating Wanted Templates

Style Standards, Conventions, and Guidelines

Edit Summaries

Edit summaries are not mandatory, but are encouraged. If included please summarize briefly what changes you made.

Naming

Plurality should match the in-game representation (so Bleach Logs are plural whereas Toilet Roll is singular).

Standardized Name	Incorrect Names
Choppin	Choppin', Chopping

Links

Please link to the exact page we want, eg linking a mob drop link to Baby Boa not Enemies or Bestiary

Correct Linking	Incorrect Linking
Baby Boa, Quests#Picnic Stowaway	Enemies, Quests, Bestiary

Pages/Categories

Items

Every unique Item needs its own item page. Tables are generated based on those pages. Currently available templates: Weapons, Armor, Tools, Resources, Misc Items, Quest Items, Statues, Stamps, Obols and Food. Documentation on how to use them is in the links. Will add templates for other item types later. Crafting recipes are to be centralized to the smithing page.

There is also a template to use for items that are crafted or produced. (see Farmer Brim or Trusty Nails for an example on these)

Templates

If you create a template, please include documentation on how to use it.

Spoilers

Spoiler text should be hidden using collapsible sections. Tables can be hidden individually by adding the mw-collapsible and mw-collapsed classes. See https://csydes.miraheze.org/wiki/Help:Collapsing

Files

Filenames should use spaces between words. Sprites and other game assets should be PNGs, except for animated sprites which should be GIFs. Filenames should not include punctuation.

Assets with In-Game Names

Game Assets that have a name assigned in-game should use that name as the base filename. For example, the Bored Bean sprite would be uploaded as "Bored Beans.png", while the Old Hatchet sprite would be "Old Hatchet.png". Plurality should match the in-game representation (so Bleach Logs are plural whereas Toilet Roll is singular). Monster sprites should, however, always use a singular file name (e.g. Glublin.png instead of Glublins.png).

Other Files

Other files that do not have in-game names assigned should use a relevant name, for example the Fishing Beach background would be "Fishing Beach Background.png". Plurality/singularity is up to the uploader based on the content of the file.

Text

Text should be proofread for errors. Formatting/grammar changes should be marked as minor edits.

Oxford Commas

For consistency, please don't use Oxford Commas (unless it's warranted for clarity).

To do list

(updated Dec 5th 2020) These are some of the things needing to be done on the wiki right now. Some things can be found in the "How to be helpful" section. Other things are detailed below.

Classes

• Add Shaman talent images.

Skills

• Give Catching the same treatment as Mining
• Fix up the liquid shop in Alchemy including adding images.
• Add a list of bonuses affecting Alchemy (no need to include alchemy bonuses gained from alchemy?)

Items

• Template for trophies?
• Obols (obol names are weird right now, different obols can share the same name atm, so hold off on this until we figure out a good way to handle it or Lava fixes it up in the code. Obols are clearly not done yet.. )

Bestiary

• Boss page tactics and other info. I will make a template for a boss infobox. - Blackwolfe

Other

• Add information about how Obols work, including on what levels obol slots are unlocked.
• Information about the Post Office, mostly orders.
• Point tresholds for the Sandstone Colosseum
