==Talk PagesWelcome to the Wiki==To sign your comments when editing a talk Welcome to the Project Gorgon Wiki. If you found this page, just click the "signature" icon in the rich text editor, or add <code><nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki></code>. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Using_talk_pages#Indentation Help:Using talk pages] for how to respond it probably means you want to someonecontribute.

==Where to HelpFirst Steps==The following areas of 1. After you create your account and login for the wiki need first time, setup your personal '''User''' and ''' User talk''' pages. Click on your username and "Talk" in the most help:upper right corner (desktop view) to create those pages. Even if you leave them blank, their existence makes it easier for other users to contact you with questions or to request collaboration on a larger project.

<div style="background2. Please briefly read [http:#f8f8f8;border:1px solid #ccc;padding:5px;">; Skills: Listing of the Advanced Abilities available from drops(recipes)/NPCs/etc: If you have high level play experience::: www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Talk_pages#Editing_conventions_on_talk_pages MediaWiki Help on Talk Pages]. overview of pros '''Signatures, indents, and cons topics''' (good abilities, bad abilitiesheadings)on '''User talk''' pages and '''Talk pages''' make it easier to see the flow of discussion and allows future editors who want to get up to date on the history of an article to quickly do so. :: ... relevant equipment/desirable augments on items * Consider '''watching''' talk pages (consider adding an example with click the star) which you are participating in, as they will be highlighted in the [[TemplateSpecial:ItemTRecentChanges]]):: .You can also change your '''Preferences''' if you want to receive alternative notifications for watched pages.* Most users will want to place their personal '''User talk''' and '''User''' pages on their watchlist. which other skills does it work well with? and why?

; Recipes: Tables 3. Next, it will be helpful to familiarize yourself with some of recipes available from various NPCs. It is not necessary (and probably overkill) the information to create new articles for each recipe, as the right. This wiki search takes care of finding any relevant articleuses the '''MediaWiki''' platform. eg; If a player ingame types "/wiki orange" they will find any you are new to MediaWiki, some Help articles that mention oranges, including relevant recipes.:: A table of recipes (columns for price, favor, etc, is secondary. Leave them out if that is too much work, it can be added later)found on the sidebar.

; Dungeons: Higher level dungeons are poorly documented atm::: Listing of foes4. When creating pages, special foes, and harvestable nodes:: Describe Points of Interest in we would like to maintain some semblance between similar pages. You can check out the dungeon[[Project Gorgon Wiki:: Add articles Formatting|formatting guidelines]] page for missing bosses:: Any particular general loot some advice. This page may be outdated, quest loot however a '''Article guide pages''' section contains a list of very useful templates that drops here?:: Consider adding most new pages are built to follow. The best method is to find a few images to highlight similar page, and check the formatting of that page and the template the sights in a gallery tag (see [[Dungeon Template]])page is based on.

; Missing images: Look at 5. You may want to join a [[Special:WantedFilesDiscord]]. Red links are usually missing images. Click the "(1 link)" next to the red link, click the page listed below, then from that page click the image link in the article server to add a picturecommunicate with other Gorgon wiki editors. Try to optimize pictures a little bit * Wiki-themed channels can be found in Photoshop by using "Save for Web" both '''Project: Gorgon (JPEGOfficial)''' and '''The Gorgon's Head Discord'''* Large group editing projects are usually organized through Discord. Size it down to 300 pixels wide to reduce the file size, as most articles will display a 300px thumb. Larger images can be used in the Galleries at bottom of dungeon/zone articles.</div>

==Article Guides 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 (structure and consistencyrewriting a template, changing the layout of something)==, it is best to check with an experienced editor first!Note that * Occasionally a new user will start a project, such as rewriting the following are not actual MediWiki templates.

As ==Where to Help==The following areas of the wiki need the most help:; Creature Page Updates* Style: Most Creatures require updates to follow the Wiki community grows we can discuss [[Creature Template]]. Most pages have an outdated layout for the of these articles Miscellaneous section.* Content: The Reported Loot sections need additional information gathered from in-game!* Content: Images. Over 500 creatures still require quality, daytime, cropped screenshots to use in the relevant '''Talk Pages'''their infoboxes.

Click the email seems broken"(1 link)" next to the red link, click the page listed below, then from that page click the image link in the article to add a picture. For now I suggest Try to watch optimize pictures a little bit in Photoshop by using "Save for Web" if your version offers it. Size it down to 400 pixels wide to reduce the templates (click file size, as most articles will display a 400px thumb.; Missing Monsters* There may be missing monsters on the star icon)wiki. Usually, so you these are unique summons by bosses.; NPCs* Style: Many NPCs are using an outdated layout for their Training section. The proper format can keep track be found on the [[NPC Template]] page. * Content: Most NPCs are missing their Conversations section. ; Skills* Content: Most skill pages require a few sentences to be written introducing the skill, and require elaboration of these Mechanics.** Mechanics for [[Druid]], [[Warden]], [[Priest]], and [[Beast Forms|Beast Form]] skills need content submitted by players who are proficient in your Watchlist?those skills.* Content: Most skill pages require an image for their infobox. This is recommended to be a quality image of something that represents the skill.; Dungeons* Content: Most dungeon pages require elaboration on Points of Interest. * Content: Most dungeon pages have a sparsely populated Harvestables section.<div style="background* Content: Most dungeon pages are missing a screenshot of the in-game map, without any labels.* Content:#f8f8f8;borderComments may be added to the introductory section of a dungeon page, describing why players explore the dungeon.

Is it usually because of a quest?* Content:1px solid #cccConsider adding a few screenshots to highlight the sights in a gallery tag (see [[Dungeon Template]]).;paddingGameplay* Content:5pxPretty 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.<DynamicPageList>:*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 = Template guidesyears ago. It still appears on the Wanted Pages list because of how the wiki system processes subcategories. :*If you believe a page or pages included on the Wanted Pages list should actually be created, please create it if you are able to submit the proper content for that page. If a Quest 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]]</DynamicPageListnowiki></divb>to the bottom of the page. One of the wiki administrators will be notified.==Formatting TemplatesBots==For The Project Gorgon Wiki uses a full list variety of bots to create or update certain types of formatting templates, see [[pages with content provided by the developers through the public CDN repository for Project:Category:Formatting templates]]Gorgon. Users should be aware that some of their edits may be overwritten by a bot when it is activated. Below are the most common:

<div style'''Active Bots in October 2024:''' TamiqBot. The majority of actions previously handled by bot accounts have been rewritten and automated by the [[User:FoxnEagle]].

; [[Template:Spoiler]]== Spoilers ==: Hide big Although the Project Gorgon Wiki generally displays a large '''A Note About SPOILERS !''' on the homepage warning users they may find unmarked spoilers in , we do use a collapsible blockspoiler system. Unfortunately we can not format 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 table inside those! Consider using lists spoiler. (bullet listsNPCs, Dungeons, Skills, definition 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 should probably be placed in a spoiler! The [[Template:ItemTDark Chapel]]: This in Eltibule is a fun template that gives good example. The existence of the appearance of an indungeon is not a spoiler. The puzzle-game item descriptionbased method to access the dungeon is a spoiler. Its goal Project Gorgon is to liven up the pages with exploration based, so some visualsspoilers might damage potential discoveries players might make. As for all templatesIn general, its value is that we can change the appearance later for many pages just by editing the templaterecord everything, so but if the in-game appearance changetopic spoils a riddle, puzzle, that or is not a problem. <span style="color:red">Icons are not yet supported</span> until the Wiki has better Extensions installed (a default "empty" icon something extremely hidden, it is used)best to spoiler tag it.

; [[Template:MOB infobox]]: Create an attractive "info card" ==Sources for enemies and bosses. This is another way to liven up the pages. The info card does not document everything as that is Wiki==Besides in the body -game content, a list of known sources that can be used to flesh out the article. <span style="colowiki:red">TODO</span> More parameters will be added but are limited atm due to lack of proper Wiki Extensions.

: 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.
