Welcome to Underrail Wiki! The Community Portal hosts a "state of the wiki" list. Check the forums' wiki thread for additional community discussion.

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, please add it!
  • Navboxes can be edited via the v-d-e links in their upper left corner.
Feats
  • All feats up to 0.1.11.1 are in the wiki, but some might be outdated.
Items
Quests
  • Detail pages; write walkthroughs, etc.
  • All quests up to 0.1.11.1 should be listed.
Characters, Creatures/Robots
  • Detail pages; add any missing data to infoboxes.
Locations
  • Detail pages; most are stubs or redirects to larger area.
Status effects
  • Detail pages; most are stubs and missing some important details.

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

Add any missing quests!

  • Check out the quest infobox
  • Other quest pages can work as examples
  • Also add it to the relevant navbox
Items

Abilities

Want to add the missing abilities like psi powers to the wiki?

Characters, Creatures/Robots

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  • Category:Exported images has all the game icon files (may be outdated)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 are better off with transparent background
  • Quests infobox supports 300x200 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
    • All areas up to 0.1.10.0 have map images
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!
