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 | ☑ Good | 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. |

Uploading images
- Screenshots and editing!
- Icons should be 33x33px PNG, with transparent background and correct transparency
- NPC/mob models should be minimum '100x100px or taller as required, similar in size with the portrait next to it
- NPCs can use cropped screenshots to illustrate their surroundings
- Mobs are better off with generic sprite, transparent background
- Quests infobox supports 300x200px images (or larger with same aspect ratio), can be a key event or point of interest in the quest
- Location infobox looks best with 1.5:1 or higher aspect ratio image, width is limited to 300px.
- Still need to figure out how to best utilize this; more once v1.0.3 is out.
- Every area screen should have a screenshot, preferably transparent background, fully explored and without visible NPCs
- Most zones have their screenshots in the wiki, check Zones for image redlinks.

- 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 - Tag outdated articles with
{{outdated}}
or help update any outdated articles.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.
- Most of the above are either at Special:SpecialPages or Category:Site maintenance.
