It is not necessary (and probably overkill) When creating pages, we would like to create new articles maintain some semblance between similar pages. You can check out the [[Project Gorgon Wiki:Formatting|formatting guidelines]] page for each recipesome advice.

==Article Guides (structure and consistency)Where to Help==Note The following areas of the wiki need the most help:; Creature Page Updates* Style: Most Creatures require updates to follow the [[Creature Template]]. Most pages have an outdated layout for the Miscellaneous section.* Content: The Reported Loot sections need additional information gathered from in-game!* Content: Images. Over 500 creatures still require quality, daytime, cropped screenshots to use in their infoboxes. You can find a list of wanted images at [[Special:WantedFiles]], or browse Anatomy category pages. Red links are usually missing images. Click the "(1 link)" next to the red link, click the page listed below, then from that page click the image link in the following article to add a picture. Try to optimize pictures a little bit in Photoshop by using "Save for Web" if your version offers it. Size it down to 400 pixels wide to reduce the file size, as most articles will display a 400px thumb.; Missing Monsters* There may be missing monsters on the wiki. Usually, these are not actual MediWiki templatesunique summons by bosses. They ; NPCs* Style: Many NPCs are using an example outdated layout for their Training section. The proper format can be found on the [[NPC Template]] page . * Content: Most NPCs are missing their Conversations section. ; Skills* Content: Most skill pages require a few sentences to be written introducing the skill, and require elaboration of Mechanics.** Mechanics for [[Druid]], [[Warden]], [[Priest]], and [[Beast Forms|Beast Form]] skills need content submitted by players who are proficient in which we can discuss what those skills.* Content: Most skill pages require an image for their infobox. This is recommended to be a quality image of something that represents the skill.; Dungeons* Content: Most dungeon pages require elaboration on Points of Interest. * Content: Most dungeon pages have a sparsely populated Harvestables section.* Content: Most dungeon pages are missing a screenshot of the in-game map, without any labels.* Content: Comments may be added to the introductory section of a dungeon page, describing why players explore the structure dungeon. Are they there to collect any particular loot? Is it usually because of a quest?* Content: Consider adding a few screenshots to highlight the sights in a gallery tag (see [[Dungeon Template]]).; Gameplay* Content: Pretty much all gameplay/mechanics articles should look likebe expanded upon. ; Wanted Pages* The Project Gorgon wiki automatically generates a list of pages it believes to be "wanted" at [[Special:WantedPages]]. While this list can be helpful at identifying actually missing pages, the inclusion of something on this list does not guarantee that a page is necessary.:*Items are added to the Wanted Pages list when a broken link is created on another content page. These Sometimes the link is created from a misspelled word! If so, fix the spelling mistake and do not create a page for the misspelled word. :*Intentionally deleted categories can sometimes appear on this list. As an example, the Wanted Pages list includes '''Category:Halloween 2017''' as a Wanted Page. This is a category which once existed on the wiki but was consolidated into a different category years ago. It still appears on the Wanted Pages list because of how the wiki system processes subcategories. :*If you believe a page or pages included on the Wanted Pages list should actually be used as created, please create it if you are able to submit the proper content for that page. If a Quest appears on the Wanted Pages list and you are not proficient at adding quest pages, it would be better to leave the page in the list than to create a half-correct page!; Mark pages for Deletion* If you come across an irrelevant or duplicate page and want to have it deleted, add the code <b><nowiki>[[Category:Candidates for deletion]]</nowiki></b> to the bottom of the page. One of the wiki administrators will be notified.== Bots==The Project Gorgon Wiki uses a guide variety of bots to create or update certain types of pages with content provided by the developers through the public CDN repository for creating new articlesProject: Gorgon. Users should be aware that some of their edits may be overwritten by a bot when it is activated.

<div style="background:#f8f8f8;border:1px solid #ccc;padding:5px;"><DynamicPageList>category = Template guides</DynamicPageList></div> ==Formatting TemplatesSpoilers ==Although the Project Gorgon Wiki generally displays a large '''A Note About SPOILERS !''' on the homepage warning users they may find unmarked spoilers, we do use a spoiler system. For the most part, if you are typing up a full list particular type of formatting templatespage, refer to the template for that type of content to see [[:Category:Formatting templates]]what goes into a spoiler. (NPCs, Dungeons, Skills, Abilities). Below Many spoiler tags are the most common:also used to collapse large lists.

<div style="background:#f8f8f8;border:1px solid #ccc;padding:5px;">; [[Template:Quote]]: Quote official text (both ingame NPC talk and developer's posts)Outside of existing template-defined styles, is hard to provide a Yes/No list for what should or should not go in a spoiler.; [[Template:Hint]]: Hides light spoilers inside The location of a dungeon should not be a tooltipspoiler. This helps keep If the layout nice as these fit "inline". Keep these hints short because they appear as dungeon requires a tooltip. You can not use double quotes insidevery specific method to access, use single quotes 'like this'.; that information should probably be placed in a spoiler! The [[Template:SpoilerDark Chapel]]: Hide big spoilers in Eltibule is a collapsible blockgood example. Unfortunately we can The existence of the dungeon is not format a table inside those! Consider using lists (bullet lists, definition lists)spoiler.; [[Template:ItemT]]: This The puzzle-based method to access the dungeon is a fun template that gives the appearance of an in-game item descriptionspoiler. Its goal Project Gorgon is to liven up the pages with exploration based, so some visualsspoilers might damage potential discoveries players might make. As for all templatesIn general, its value is that we can change the appearance later for many pages just by editing the templaterecord everything, so but if the in-game appearance changetopic spoils a riddle, puzzle, that or is not a problem. <span style="color:red">Icons are not yet supported</span> until the Wiki has better Extensions installed (a default "empty" icon is used).; [[Template:MOB infobox]]: Create an attractive "info card" for enemies and bosses. This is another way to liven up the pages. The info card does not document everything as that something extremely hidden, it is in the body of the article. <span style="colo:red">TODO</span> More parameters will be added but are limited atm due best to lack of proper Wiki Extensionsspoiler tag it.</div>

: A: This is completely unimportant during the alpha. This wiki is hosted by the developers themselves, on their own domain. This means in due time, they may very well decide to revamp the general appearance to something more exciting. They obviously have more important things to do during alpha. What matters now is providing quality content and help for the players.
