Contributing to the wiki

There are many ways in which you can help. Don't be afraid to edit and create articles!

Improving existing articles

Adding missing stuff to navboxes/lists

• ☑ Most content should be listed on the wiki navboxes.
• Navboxes can be edited via the v-d-e links in their upper left corner.

Feats

• ☑ Most feat pages reflect the most recent version and are in good condition.
• Additional detailed explanations should be added, especially when game mechanics are ambiguous.

Items

• ☑ Most item pages are in good condition.
• Tabbed item infoboxes be edited via the v-d-e links in their upper right corner.
• Pages in Category:Components with example stats need to be updated with their stat ranges.

Quests

• Detail pages; write walkthroughs, etc.
• Every quest page should have a small screenshot, see #Uploading images.

Characters, Enemies

• Detail pages; add any missing data to infoboxes.

Locations

• Detail pages; most have short sections or are stubs/redirects.

Psi abilities, Abilities, Status effects

Quality assurance

The usual wiki cleanup stuff.

• Tag dubious information with {{verify}} or help verify information in existing articles.
• Tag outdated articles with {{outdated}} or help update any outdated articles.
• Tag short articles with {{stub}} or help expand some article stubs.
• Single sections in need of expansion can be marked with {{expand section}} or you can help with articles that need expansion.
• Mark pages for deletion with {{delete}} or help improve some candidates for deletion.
• Check article content for typos and/or bad grammar. Any typos present in the game need not be reproduced in the wiki, instead report them here
• Improve syntax/formatting as you see fit.
• Add pages to correct categories by adding [[Category:Category's name]] on the page.
• Check for any internal links to disambiguation pages and fix them.
• Create some links on dead end pages and create links to some orphaned pages.
• Fix any double redirects by redirecting the first page to the third page. Also check for broken redirects and fix them.
