Hello. You can find me ingame as '''Gorgonzola''' ;) .. I'm just a player learning MediaWiki.

'''I'm done editing the wiki. It was a fun little project. Feel free to edit any of the templates I set up.'''
  
I hope my additions to the wiki will encourage other players to expand the content. See the '''MediaWiki formatting and editing articles''' below.

A suggestion if you wonder how to handle wiki edits while playing the game: for the most part, don't. My routine is to use [http://www.fraps.com/ FRAPS] and [http://www.xnview.com/en/ XnView] (both free) to manage screenshots while I play. I press a key to take a screen. Occasionally, I also alt-tab to XnView to rename the picture so I know what it was about. Conveniently XnView always has the newest image in the folder highlighted, so {screenshot key} {alt tab} {F2} {enter label} {alt tab}. Pretty easy and it doesn't take me away from the game too long. Later when I have time I just go through the screens and edit whatever I feel like.

==Regarding my edits==
 
==Regarding my edits==
I like creating practical content such as "guide" pages that help me when I play, indexes/tables that have a purpose such as [[Belt|a list of the lucky belts]]. I don't think it's very useful right now (as of the alpha) to create many individual pages for mobs/plants/items (exception for named creatures, and category types like goblins).
 
 
If a player /wiki a specific item or foe that does not have his own page, that's not an issue imho. They will get search results and relevant articles. For example <code>/wiki snail shells</code> will show NPCs interested in snail shells.
 
 
So atm I focus on: NPCs, Zones, Dungeons, Skills, Special (ie. named) creatures and Bosses, and "guide" pages.
 
 
 
* I use a <code><nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki></code> for most pages that I don't expect to be long. People are accustomed to mouse wheels, and the TOC tends to make the top of the article look bad with a lot of white space (a solution would be to float the TOC to the right in some pages, that may be doable with a template). The <code><nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki></code> marker can always be removed later if something gets long enough.

I'm done editing the wiki. It was a fun little project. Feel free to edit any of the templates I set up.

Hello. You can find me ingame as Gorgonzola ;)

On My To-Do List

Templates & Styles

TODO An "infobox" for NPCs with: name, image, location, language (gobs), moneypool.
W.I.P. Upload Icons for Shop lists. Template:vendor table row & Item Icons Guide
TODO Better table templating with even/odd row styles.

DONE Archiving game update notes and linking the latest one on the front page (using DPL). Game updates

Longer term (more complex)

TODO Javascript based Map with POIs, so it's easier for people to expand (eg. through adding x/y coordinates) and also allow to filter them or hide them (spoilers).

Icons and Images

A list of icons and imagesI created to be used in articles, put here so I don't forget about them:

Regarding my edits

  • I use a __NOTOC__ for most pages that I don't expect to be long. People are accustomed to mouse wheels, and the TOC tends to make the top of the article look bad with a lot of white space (a solution would be to float the TOC to the right in some pages, that may be doable with a template). The __NOTOC__ marker can always be removed later if something gets long enough.
  • I've added image tags ( [[File:foo.jpg]] ) to many pages without an actual image. This is a way to keep track of images that can be added later, through Special:WantedFiles. Feel free to go through the list and add missing images!
  • The more templates the better, since they are includes. Templates like "monster stats" can be expanded after alpha, with minimal edits (adding parameters to the templates used in the articles).
  • NPC, Dungeon, Skill and Zone templates are just copy pasterino. They are not actual templates as that would be quite complex to handle (I presume parameters would be too long).
