Getting Started

  • First if you would like to help with the wiki you'll need to Create an Account.
  • Once you've done that, don't be afraid to click the edit tab to jump in and add any missing information.

Before Editing:

  • If you plan to change anything that has already been done, be sure to check the discussion tab before making any changes.
  • If you are adding a page, please check the Templates to make sure there isn't a Template you should be using to add the new page.
  • If you're editing a page that uses a Template, you should check the Templates to make sure that you are using the most up to date Template.
  • If you're having any trouble understanding anything, you can always checkout the User's Guide for Editors at MediaWiki to learn more about wiki editing.

Additional Tips:

  • When adding to the wiki, be careful not to give anything away; the wiki is here to help, not give away the game. (For example, maps should be left as is, chests and secret passages shouldn't be labeled because it's up to players to figure things like that out on their own.)
  • Often things written in italics are directly quoted from the game, especially descriptions.
  • When you add something to a discussion, you should sign it with "~~~~" (minus the quotes), which will automatically be changed to "Marksalot 07:58, 29 June 2011 (CDT)".


Thanks for helping and happy editing!

To Do List

High

Normal

  • Finish filling in / fixing Armory information. (Should update everything to the current Weapon Template and Armor Template)
  • Finish filling in city and area information in Regions.
  • Add Rep Rank under the new Monster template to all monsters.

Low

  • Go back and redo / double check skill pages so they have the update template and information

Extra

  • Better descriptions for everything (classes, items, spells etc)
  • Add the picture for the website (top left) which can use the one from the old wiki (unless someone creates a better one or updates the existing picture.
  • Fix collapsible tables.

Done

  • Redo FAQ page (Partly done)
  • Redo Classes page to look more graphically awesome* (Redone, still possible to add more.)
  • Redo any templates that need 'editing' to make them look better or change layout
  • Tales from the Crypt needs to be redone in the new template
  • Copy over Bestiary pictures from the old wiki to use in the new one. (Mostly done, missing some pictures) <--- Some of those pictures are very dated. There is no reason to copy them over if the sprites are no longer the same.
  • Updated The Warrior's Crypt Bestiary Section with old wiki information and pictures
  • Updated and Fixed Ardan
  • Start moving over monsters for the Bestiary from old wiki
  • New quest information needs to be changed in the quest's pages. This is to replace the "Rewards" information.
  • Make a new template for items, this needs to be done before too many more items are finished so we don't need to backtrack too much
  • Need skill data for Warlock - Shiftwave/Scare/Sacrifice
  • Change items to have an "Effects" column added to the wikitables in Items for quick reference
  • Copy over items from old wiki
  • Start moving over Quests from old wiki
  • Finish up character skills (Can use Burn as a template)
  • Make a new template for weapons (Follow Cypress Stick as an example)
  • Make a new template for armor (Follow Battleweave Tunic as an example)
  • Make a new template for monsters (Follow Slime as an example}
  • Make a new template for Quests (Follow Journey to Balzackia as an example)
  • Make a skill template (Follow Burn as an example)
  • Create a Bestiary icon for main page

Moving Pages from the Old Wiki

So what you can do is find a page that needs to be moved from the Old Wiki. Then goto the Old Wiki and copy the information over to the new page. (Note: If there is an applicable Template, please use the template to add the information.)

Example: Lets say we want to pull over the information for a weapon called Test Sword
1. Goto the Old Wiki and grab the information ( We will use Apprentice Kris for this example)
2. Grab the template for the item you are working for. This can be found by going to other pages of similar posts that have been done in this wiki (For this example we can use Cypress Stick)
3. Goto test sword's page and paste the template in there.
4. Change the template so it has the old wiki information
5. Pat yourself on the back.
