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 navboxes.
- Navboxes can be edited via the
v-d-e
links in their upper left corner.
- ☑ Most feat pages reflect the most recent version and are in good condition.
- Additional detailed explanations should be added, especially when game mechanics are ambiguous.
- ☑ Most item pages are in good condition.
- Tabbed item infoboxes be edited via the
v-d-e
links in their upper right corner. - Pages in Category:Components with example stats need to be updated with their stat ranges.
- Detail pages; write walkthroughs, etc.
- Every quest page should have a small screenshot, see #Uploading images.
- Detail pages; add any missing data to infoboxes.
- Detail pages; most have short sections or are stubs/redirects.
- Detail pages where necessary.
- Detail pages; these are really lacking in story/lore details.
- Many of the pages for individual skills have lists that need expansion.
Creating new pages
Check out the Special:WantedPages for a list of frequently linked-to pages that don't yet exist. Feel free to create any of them!
Major article group | Progress | Infobox and documention | Navboxes (should link to all pages) | Notes / other resources |
---|---|---|---|---|
Quests | ☑ Good | Quest Infobox | Missions navbox | Existing quest pages can be used as references, though there is much room for improvement in walkthroughs. |
Items | ☑ Good | Infobox item | Most of Category:Navbox templates | Use existing item pages for reference, but longer body text is welcome.
|
Characters, Enemies | WIP | Character Infobox | NPCs, mentioned characters, minor NPCs and enemies | Existing pages can be used as references, though many are stubs.
|
Locations | ☑ Good | Location Infobox | Locations navbox |
|
Feats | ☑ Good | Feat Infobox | Feats navbox | Use existing pages for reference. |
Abilities | ☑ Good | Ability Infobox | Abilities navbox, Psi abilities navbox | Use existing pages for reference. Feat abilities should go to relevant feat page; no need for two pages and disambiguation. |
Status effects | ☑ Good | Ability Infobox | Status effect navbox | Use existing 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 or few px larger, with transparent background
- NPC/mob models should be roughly 100x100px or a bit larger, similar in size with the portrait next to it
- 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

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.
