Chroniclers guide

Getting started

• Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.
• MediaWiki FAQ
• If you need to include a pipe character inside of a template, replace the pipe with the magic word {{!}}

What needs doing?

• Check and update all Skills pages, priority on the most outdated pages.
• Fill in missing Affliction pages.
• Create new field in AB template: effects, and readjust skill listings accordingly.
• Work on Defense pages.
• Fill out Style Guide.
• Generate templates:
  • DefenseTemplate
• Update/Rewrite:
  • Equipment
  • Beasts
  • Influencing
  • Hunting
  • Newbie Guide
• Races
• More information about each of the organizations in general
• New/Fixed Art on all pages
• An easy place to start is adding links whenever relevant. (Wiki's aren't supposed to have dead-end pages)
  • Link Afflictions to Skill abilities and the abilities to Afflictions.

Updates

• For now, the focus should be on having every dead link fixed up with something. This can be a copy of the in-game help file. Use the {{HelpCopy}} template at the bottom of each copied page.
  • Actually, be careful when tackling Wanted Pages. Many terms end up on the list not because the wiki is missing an article, but because it is being linked to in a new way. In those cases, consider whether the term should become a new redirect or if you should just edit the irregular link on the necessary page(s).

Reminders

• Writing edit summaries is nice to do because it makes reviewing changes easier.
• Category naming: Names of topic categories should be singular (Geography, Planescape, Aetherspace) and names of set categories should be plural (Demon Lords, Points of Interest).
• You can add letters to the end of link text for plurals or possessives: [[Vernal God]]dess [[Kiakoda]]'s will correctly display the text while linking to the pages that are in the brackets.
• Avoid using the words "tribe" and "tribal" in keeping with Announce #3215.
