; Skills
: Listing of the Advanced Abilities available from dropsand where they drop or who teaches them (recipesvery useful)/NPCs/etc
: If you have high level play experience:
:: ... overview of pros and cons (good abilities, bad abilities)
:: ... relevant equipment/desirable augments on items (consider adding an example with [[Template:ItemT]])
:: ... which other skills does it work well with? and why?
: Simple lists or tables of level up skills/rewards. <span style="color:#F00;font-size:1.5em;">*</span>
; Recipes
: Tables Simple lists or tables of recipes available from various NPCs. It is not necessary (and probably overkill) to create new articles <span style="color:#F00;font-size:1.5em;">*</span>. Such lists are useful for each recipe, as the wiki search takes care of finding any relevant article. eg; If , even without individual pages, if a player ingame types "/wiki orange" they will find any articles that mention oranges, including relevant recipesfried banana" ..:: A table of recipes (columns for price, favor, etc, is secondary. Leave them out if that is too much work, it can be added later)the pages listing the recipe will show up in the results.
; Dungeons
; Missing images
: Look at [[Special:WantedFiles]]. 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 article to add a picture. Try to optimize pictures a little bit in Photoshop by using "Save for Web" (JPEG). Size it down to 300 pixels wide to reduce the file size, as most articles will display a 300px thumb. Larger images can be used in the Galleries at bottom of dungeon/zone articles.
; IMPORTANT
: <span style="color:#F00;font-size:1.5em;">*</span> Please be aware that Eric (lead dev) has expressed interest in feeding most abilities/recipes into the wiki at some point (probably using the "Semantic" extension and formatting tables with special templates). That means you should probably not create any individual pages for recipes or abilities at this point during alpha. Doing so is not terribly useful as the wiki search will find them in relevant lists (NPCs, or Skills pages), and they may be overwritten when this data is fed into the wiki directly from the developer's spreadsheets/database. If you have knowledge of how to automate this kind of thing, please message [[User talk:Gorgonzola]]. The ''design'' of such tables can be discussed in the [[Skill Template]] page.
