Gorgonzola
|
Hello. You can find me ingame as Gorgonzola ;) .. I'm just a player learning MediaWiki. I hope my additions to the wiki will encourage other players to expand the content. See the MediaWiki formatting and editing articles below. How to edit the wiki AND have fun 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 FRAPS and 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
When I create a new page I ask myself: "What purpose does this page have?". I like creating practical content such as "guide" pages that help me when I play, create indexes/tables that have a purpose such as a list of the lucky belts.
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 /wiki snail shells 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
__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 and Dungeon and Zone templates are just a structure guide to save a bit of time (copy/paste). They are not actual templates as that would be quite complex to handle (I presume parameters would be too long).
