F.A.Q.
==Where to Help==
The following areas of the wiki need the most help:
; Creature Page Updates: Most Creatures require updates to follow the [[Creature Template]]. Combat Abilities, Miscellaneous, and Reported Loot sections need updating!; Missing Images: It would be great to get nice clear images of most creatures and NPCs. It would be preferable that these screenshots be taken on the highest level of graphics. Focus on lower level areas first (Serbule Hills, Serbule, Eltibule, Anagoge). You can look at [[Special:WantedFiles]] if you want to. 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 to add a picture. Try to 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 file size, as most articles will display a 400px thumb.; Missing Monsters: There are at least four named bosses missing on the wiki!
; NPCs
: Most Many NPCs require clear, daytime photographs of them. It would be preferable that these screenshots be taken on the highest level of graphics.: Not all NPCs have pages yet. : New NPCs need to have their quotes, lore, and other options added to their pages as they are added to the game.: Some NPCs were in temporary places and were moved around to their more permanent locations, check in passing if their recorded location matches with missing their in-game locationConversations section; Pages with existing but incomplete tables: [[Gems]] (complete the table): [[Teleportation]] recipes: [[Surveying]] (list of maps and what gems they lead to)  
; Skills
: Many skills require a few sentences about the skill, and possibly some user comments on mechanics.
: 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:ItemT]])
:: ... which other skills does it work well with? and why?
: Simple lists or tables of level up skills/rewards. <span style="color:#F00;font-size:1.5em;">*</span>
 
; Recipes
:The Cooking skill page needs recipes listed with icons. All Icons will soon be uploaded to the wiki by [[User:BetaNotus]]. This is expected to occur shortly. For now, icons can be left as “none.”
 
; Dungeons
: Many dungeons are sparsely documented, and still require:
:: Listing of foes, special foes, and harvestable nodes
:: Describe Points of Interest in the dungeon
:: Add articles for missing bosses
:: Any particular general loot , quest loot that drops here?
:: Consider adding a few images to highlight the sights in a gallery tag (see [[Dungeon Template]])
: Information on the Yeti Cave has already been collected by a user, and will be uploaded soon.
 
; High level Zones
: Rahu page can to be expanded upon, see the [[Eltibule]] Keep page for inspiration.
: A map of [[ilmari]] needs to be added as well as Almuna.
: Accurate Hand-drawn or computer sketched maps are still missing for some dungeons. If you upload a hand-drawn map, you will be helping those who make computer sketched maps greatly. As dungeons keep expanding and changing, it might not be worth it to make computerized maps right as dungeons are introduced.
: POIs need to be determined and marked for the high level zones and dungeons.
: Screenshots of POIs are needed for galleries at the bottom of the page.
 
; Items
:The Wiki really doesn’t need individual pages for every item (Sugar, Salt), but the wiki does benefit from having some items listed, such as Fire Dust, Anchor Runes, and Saltpeter. These are items that are frequently asked about.
 
; Gameplay
: Pretty much all gameplay articles can be expanded upon.
 
; Missing images
: Look at [[Special:WantedFiles]]. 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 to add a picture. Try to optimize pictures a little bit in Photoshop by using "Save for Web" (JPEG). 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.
 
; Missing Pages
: Look at [[Special:WantedPages]] to see if you can start on any of the pages. And Be sure that it is not just a misspelled word! Red links on a 'normal' wiki are usually an indicator that something is missing. If that page is relevant and you can expand on that page please do so.
 ; Beta's RequestDelete pages: If someone knows more about how MediaWiki works that Beta doesyou come across an irrelevant or duplicate page and want to have it deleted, please check out add the code <b><nowiki>[[ItemT_Template_DemosCategory:Candidates for deletion]] </nowiki></b> to the bottom of the page. There's a bit One of an issue where items with long names have their names cut off, but descriptions wrap fine. If you can fix it but don't have permission, PM BetaNotus on the forums, or message BetaNotus in-gamewiki administrators will be notified.

==F.A.Q.==
; Q. This wiki is too light/bright/does not look like a gaming wiki!
: 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.
; Q. The rich text editor is too basic/ the syntax is complicated.
