Revision as of 23:15, 28 February 2022
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- Check and update all Skills pages, priority on the most outdated pages.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:
- 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.
