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, but if you see something missing, you can add it via edit links.

Navboxes can be edited via the v-d-e links in their upper left corner.

Feats transcription

All feats are in the wiki, but most of them are in temporary image format and need to be transcribed into text

update Quests

  • Missing additions from 0.1.7.0 to 0.1.9.0
  • Check quest names from in-game data.

Characters, Creatures/Robots

write stuff, expand stubs, categorize pages, add data to infoboxes.

Locations

write stuff, expand stubs, categorize pages.

Building new wiki content

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

Add missing quests!

  • check out the quest infobox
  • other quest pages can work as examples

Items

Want to add missing item pages to the wiki? Here are the infoboxes you need and their docs:

Locations

  • create a list of locations per areaname(visible in saved games)
  • there's also the location infobox
    • come up with a hierarchy and organize location pages & navbox

Uploading content images

  • missing icons need some editing work:
    • Category:Exported images has all the game icon files
    • icons should be 33x33 or 35x35 PNG with transparent (or at least black) background
  • screenshots and editing!
    • all npcs could use an image (100px high)
    • all monsters could use an image (100px high)
    • every map area could use a map image if you have a way to make one

Quality assurance

  • Check content articles for typos and/or bad grammar.
  • Improve syntax/formatting as you see fit. Try to have a common theme among articles of similar topics.
  • Add pages to correct categories by adding [[Category:Category's name]] on the page.
  • Help expand some article stubs.
  • Fix any double redirects by redirecting the first page to the third page.
  • Check for broken redirects and fix them.
  • Create links to some orphaned pages.
  • Create some links on dead end pages.

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!
