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.
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
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 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 Brimor Trusty Nails for an example on these)
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.
