I particularly enjoy the visual aspect and coding templates. If you need any kind of templates, drop me suggestions on the talk page.

==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.

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).
