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.
- All feats up to 0.1.14.2 are in the wiki and up-to-date.
- Check components with example stats and fill in the stat ranges.
- ALL dynamic components need at least updating for 0.1.14 changes
- Detail pages; write walkthroughs, etc.
- All quests up to 0.1.12.2 should be listed.
- Detail pages; add any missing data to infoboxes.
- Detail pages; most have short sections or are stubs/redirects.
- Detail pages; most are stubs and missing some important details.
- Ability pages need infoboxes
- Detail pages; these are really lacking in story details.
- Many of the pages for individual skills have lists that need expansion
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!
Add any missing quests!
- Check out the quest infobox
- Existing quest pages can be used as references
- Also add it to the relevant navbox
Want to add missing item pages to the wiki?
- item infobox and how to use it
- or use existing item pages for references
- Also add any additions to relevant item navboxes.
- Category:Item icons for a list of already uploaded item icons.
- Template:ComponentGroup will also be helpful if you're working with blueprint pages
Want to add the missing abilities like psi powers to the wiki?
- ability infobox and how to use it
- or use the existing ability pages (e.g. Stealth Mode or Telekinetic Punch) for reference
- Feat abilities should go to relevant feat page; no need for two pages and disambig.
- There's no navbox for abilities yet. Might consider creating one if necessary.
Wanna add these to the wiki?
- character infobox template and all its parameters
- existing pages can be used as references, though most are stubs
- navboxes: NPCs and enemies
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
Want to add the missing abilities like psi powers to the wiki?
- ability infobox is also used for status effects
- You can use existing status effect pages for reference
- Status effects should be added to relevant main article when they share name (e.g. Irongut medicine item and status effect)
Uploading images
See File:Misc icon.png#filelinks for pages that still lack images
- Screenshots and editing!
- Icons should be 33x33 PNG with transparent background
- NPC/mob models should be roughly 100x100px or a bit larger
- 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 transparent, fully explored and without visible NPCs
- Almost all areas up to 0.1.14.2 have map images (most gauntlet maps are missing)
- Image categories
- Check Category:Item icons for already uploaded item icons
- Category:Feat icons for feat icons
- Category:Icons for all other icons (menus, abilities, status effects, etc)
- Category:Maps for area maps
- Category:Portraits for NPC portraits
- Category:In-game models for in-game models of NPCs/mobs
- Category:Quest images for quest infobox images
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.
Want to discuss stuff?
