== 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 [http://silkgames.com/nestalgia/wiki/doku.php Old Wiki] and copy the information over to the new page. (Note: If there is an applicable [[Templates|Template]], please use the template to add the information.)
+
−
<br />
+
−
<br />
+
−
'''Example:''' Lets say we want to pull over the information for a weapon called [[Test Sword]]
+
−
<br />
+
−
1. Goto the [http://silkgames.com/nestalgia/wiki/doku.php Old Wiki] and grab the information ( We will use [http://silkgames.com/nestalgia/wiki/doku.php?id=armory:equipment:weapons:apprentice_kris Apprentice Kris] for this example)<br>
+
−
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]])<br>
+
−
3. Goto [[test sword]]'s page and paste the template in there.<br>
+
−
4. Change the template so it has the old wiki information<br>
+
−
5. Pat yourself on the back.

Latest revision as of 14:21, 7 October 2014


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. Also don't give away monster locations that are part of quests that you are given hints about in the game.)
  • 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!
