Gorgonzola

Hello. You can find me ingame as Gorgonzola ;) See Project Gorgon Wiki:How to help if you'd like to join in! Check out the "MediaWiki Help" articles there if you're new to wiki editing. I particularly enjoy the visual aspect and coding templates. If you need any kind of templates, drop me suggestions on the talk page. Page Ideas What is Project: Gorgon?

Icons and Images

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

• (for Template:MOB infobox)
• (for Template:MOB infobox and misc. mentions of monsters' rage abilities?)
• Item Icons Guide (for Template:vendor table row)

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 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 /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, 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).
