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, but if you see something missing, please add it!
  • Navboxes can be edited via the v-d-e links in their upper left corner.
Feats
  • All feats up to 0.1.10.0 are in the wiki, but some might be outdated.
Items
Quests
  • Detail pages; write walkthroughs, etc.
  • All quests up to 0.1.10.0 should be listed.
Characters, Creatures/Robots

Creating new pages

Check out the wanted pages for a list of frequently linked-to pages that don't yet exist. Feel free to create any of them!

Quests

Locations

All location-related stuff is very much WIP due to the game content also being unfinished.

  • There's the location infobox and navbox
  • Zones lists every map file and its article
    • Every zone should have its own detailed article later on, for now locations only have larger common pages

Uploading images

See File:Misc icon.png#filelinks for pages that still lack images

Screenshots and editing!
  • Category:Exported images has all the game icon files (may be outdated)
  • Icons should be 33x33 or 35x35 PNG with transparent, or at least black, background
  • NPC/mob models should be 100px high
    • Unique NPCs can use cropped screenshots to illustrate their surroundings
    • Generic NPCs and mobs may be better off with transparent background
  • Quests infobox supports 400x300 images, can be a key event or point of interest in the quest
  • Every area should have a map image, preferably fully explored and without visible NPCs
Image categories

Quality assurance

The usual wiki cleanup stuff.

  • Tag dubious information with {{verify}} or help verify information in existing articles.
  • Help expand some article stubs.
  • 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.

Want to discuss stuff?

  • If you want to discuss anything specific to an article, you can use the talk page for that article.
  • Also check the wiki thread on forums!
