Contributing to the wiki

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

Adding missing stuff to lists

Although we do not have much content yet, there are many redlink lists for upcoming content.

You can help simply by checking them for missing stuff and adding anything you know of.

Items

Locations

  • No detailed location list exists yet, but you can add whatever details you want

Characters

  • Missing all characters from dungeons
  • some characters from sgs/junkyard might be missing

Creatures

  • Missing many creatures from the list

Quests

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


Creating new individual articles

Items

If you want to add new items to the wiki, here are the infobox templates you need, and their docs:

Feats

Psi powers

Characters

Creatures

Locations

You can write individual pages for feats, characters and other things, but they don't have infoboxes yet.

Just typing the relevant in-game text to a wiki page without anything else helps a lot!

Building new wiki content

This young wiki still lacks plenty of content. You can help!

Characters

Locations

  • create a list of locations per areaname(visible in saved games)
    • come up with a hierarchy and organize location pages

Quests

  • needs to be split into subpages, one per quest.
    • detail quests; walkthrough, rewards, etc


Uploading content images

  • export, edit and upload images from game data with an XNB exporter
    • All feats need images
    • psi abilities need images
    • item with composite icons need to be built and uploaded (item icons should be 33x33x32 png with alpha background)
  • screenshots and editing!
    • all npcs could use an image
    • all monsters could use an image
    • every area could use a map image


Quality assurance

  • Improve the main page
  • Check content articles for typos
  • Fix formatting as you see fit
  • Check game mechanics related articles for information correctness and add sources if possible.
  • Help expand some article stubs.
  • Locate and mark pages that need expanding as article stubs.
  • Create links to some orphaned pages.
  • Check the list of wanted pages for frequently linked-to articles that don't exist yet.
  • To follow the changes to this wiki, and to look out for new users and edits use recent changes.
