Please have a brief briefly read of [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Talk_pages#Editing_conventions_on_talk_pages MediaWiki Help on Talk Pages].

Next, it will be helpful to familiarize yourself with some of the information to the right. This wiki uses the '''MediaWiki''' platform. If you are new to MediaWiki, some Help articles can be found on the sidebar. 4. When creating pages, we would like to maintain some semblance between similar pages. You can check out the [[Project Gorgon Wiki:Formatting|formatting guidelines]] page for some advice. This page may be outdated, however a '''Article guide pages''' section contains a list of very useful templates that most new pages are built to follow. The best method is to find a similar page, and check the formatting of that page and the template the page is based on.  5. You may want to join a [[Discord]] server to communicate with other Gorgon wiki editors.* Wiki-themed channels can be found in both '''Project: Gorgon (Official)''' and '''The Gorgon's Head Discord'''* Large group editing projects are usually organized through Discord. 5. Finally, pick something to add. You can choose from one of the general categories below, or focus on contributing to anything that you would like to work on.* If you intend to make change that will impact many pages (rewriting a template, changing the layout of something), it is best to check with an experienced editor first!* Occasionally a new user will start a project, such as rewriting the ''Locations'' section of the ''Creature Template'', before realizing part of the way through that they have over 900 pages to manually change. In this situation, the user should have asked for help completing the project. Many experienced editors are willing to help!

* Style: Most Many NPCs require clear, daytime photographs of themare using an outdated layout for their Training section. It would be preferable that these screenshots The proper format can be taken found on the highest level of graphics.: Not all NPCs have pages yet. ; Pages with existing but incomplete tables: [[GemsNPC Template]] (complete the table)page. * Content: [[Teleportation]] recipes: [[Surveying]] (list of maps and what gems they lead to) Most NPCs are missing their Conversations section.

* Content: Many skills Most skill pages require a few sentences about to be written introducing the skill, and possibly some user comments on mechanicsrequire elaboration of Mechanics.: It would be great to have images ** Mechanics for all skills[[Druid]], [[Warden]], [[Priest]], something that represents the skill.: 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:ItemTBeast Forms|Beast Form]]):: ... which other skills does it work well with? and why?: Simple lists or tables of level up need content submitted by players who are proficient in those skills/rewards. <span style="color:#F00;font-size:1.5em;">*</span>; RecipesContent:The Cooking Most skill page needs recipes listed with icons. All Icons will soon be uploaded to the wiki by [[User:BetaNotus]]pages require an image for their infobox. This is expected recommended to occur shortly. For now, icons can be left as “nonea quality image of something that represents the skill.”

* Content: Many dungeons are poorly documented, and still Most dungeon pages requireelaboration on Points of Interest. * Content:Most dungeon pages have a sparsely populated Harvestables section.* Content:: Listing Most dungeon pages are missing a screenshot of foes, special foesthe in-game map, and harvestable nodeswithout any labels.* Content:: Describe Points Comments may be added to the introductory section of Interest in a dungeon page, describing why players explore the dungeon:: Add articles for missing bosses:: Any . Are they there to collect any particular general loot , ? Is it usually because of a quest loot that drops here?:* Content: Consider adding a few images screenshots to highlight the sights in a gallery tag (see [[Dungeon Template]]).; Gameplay* Content: Pretty much all gameplay/mechanics articles should be expanded upon. ; Wanted Pages* The Project Gorgon wiki automatically generates a list of pages it believes to be "wanted" at [[Special:WantedPages]]. While this list can be helpful at identifying actually missing pages, the inclusion of something on this list does not guarantee that a page is necessary.:*Items are added to the Wanted Pages list when a broken link is created on another content page. Sometimes the link is created from a misspelled word! If so, fix the spelling mistake and do not create a page for the misspelled word. :*Intentionally deleted categories can sometimes appear on this list. As an example, the Wanted Pages list includes '''Category:Halloween 2017''' as a Wanted Page. This is a category which once existed on the wiki but was consolidated into a different category years ago. It still appears on the Wanted Pages list because of how the wiki system processes subcategories. : Information *If you believe a page or pages included on the Yeti Cave has already been collected by Wanted Pages list should actually be created, please create it if you are able to submit the proper content for that page. If a userQuest appears on the Wanted Pages list and you are not proficient at adding quest pages, it would be better to leave the page in the list than to create a half-correct page!; Mark pages for Deletion* If you come across an irrelevant or duplicate page and want to have it deleted, add the code <b><nowiki>[[Category:Candidates for deletion]]</nowiki></b> to the bottom of the page. One of the wiki administrators will be uploaded soonnotified.== Bots==The Project Gorgon Wiki uses a variety of bots to create or update certain types of pages with content provided by the developers through the public CDN repository for Project: Gorgon. Users should be aware that some of their edits may be overwritten by a bot when it is activated.

Although the Project Gorgon Wiki generally displays a large '''A Note About SPOILERS !''' on the homepage warning users they may find unmarked spoilers, we do use a spoiler system. For the most part, if you are typing up a particular type of page, refer to the template for that type of content to see what goes into a spoiler. (NPCs, Dungeons, Skills, Abilities). Many spoiler tags are also used to collapse large lists. Outside of existing template-defined styles, is hard to provide a Yes/No list for what should or should not go in a spoiler. The location of a dungeon should not be a spoiler. If the dungeon requires a very specific method to access, that information exists, this Wiki should record it somewhereprobably be placed in a spoiler! The [[Dark Chapel]] in Eltibule is a good example. The existence of the dungeon is not a spoiler. The puzzle-based method to access the dungeon is a spoiler. Now, Project Gorgon is exploration based, so some spoilers might damage potential discoveries players might make. In general, record everything, but if the topic spoils a riddle, puzzle, or is something extremely hidden, it is best to spoiler tag it. Some parts of the wiki, such as Lore related pages, contain spoilers, but do not need to be marked as such. Zones, Dungeon pages, Hidden Skill mechanics, and NPCs that have major reveals should use spoilers.

: A: This is completely unimportant during the alpha. This wiki is hosted by the developers themselves, on their own domain. This means in due time, they may very well decide to revamp the general appearance to something more exciting. They obviously have more important things to do during alpha. What matters now is providing quality content and help for the players. If you prefer, consider helping out the [http://project-gorgon.wikia.com/wiki/Project_Gorgon_Wiki Project: Gorgon Wikia site] instead.
