==How do I edit?Welcome to the Wiki==This wiki uses Welcome to the '''MediaWiki''' platformProject Gorgon Wiki. If you are new found this page, it probably means you want to MediaWiki, see the Help articles on the sidebarcontribute.

==Talk Pages==Please have a brief read of [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Talk_pages#Editing_conventions_on_talk_pages MediaWiki Help on Talk Pages]. '''SignaturesSetup your personal and talk pages, indentswhen you first log in, you will see your username and topics''Talk' (headings) in Talk Pages make the upper right corner click those to create your pages. Even if they are blank, this makes it easier for others to see how the discussion is going and who has last replied, not just contact you. It also allows for the person you respond to, but any future editors who want to get up to date easy collaboration when working on the history of an articlelarge projects.

IdeallyPlease have a brief read of [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Talk_pages#Editing_conventions_on_talk_pages MediaWiki Help on Talk Pages]. '''Signatures, replies to someone indents, and topics''' (headings) in any Talk Page should generate a notificationPages make it easier to see how the discussion is going and who has last replied, however it may not work on this wiki yet (we'll have just for the person you respond to, but any future editors who want to ask devs get up to add required extensions). Either way, structuring talk pages is very helpfuldate on the history of an article.

==Where to Help==The following areas of Consider '''watching''' talk pages (click the wiki need star) which you are participating in, as they will be highlighted in the most help[[Special:RecentChanges]].

<div style="background:#f8f8e8;border:1px solid #ccc;padding:5px;">; 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. You can edit the wiki if you are logged into forum account. Please click that need fleshing out: [[Oritania]] (almost empty) - [[Under the Hand]] - [[Wolf Cave]], and create a page about yourself, and a Talk Page so that people may leave you messages.

; Pages with existing but incomplete tables: [[Gems]] (complete When creating pages, we would like to maintain some semblance between similar pages. You can check out the table): [[Teleportation]] recipesProject Gorgon Wiki: [[SurveyingFormatting|formatting guidelines]] (list page, although partially outdated. The best method is to find a similar page, and see the formatting of maps and what gems they lead to) that page.

: Listing Many skills require a few sentences about the skill, and possibly some user comments on mechanics.: The [[Druid]] skill '''''needs''''' to be expanded on. It is missing most of its core gameplay elements and players '''''need to know''''' all of the Advanced Abilities unique requirements and where they drop or who teaches them (very useful)cases of the skill. Much needed as it is a popular subject for questions.: It would be great to have images for all skills, something that represents the skill.

: Higher level Many dungeons are poorly sparsely documented atm::: Listing of foes, special foes, and harvestable nodesstill require:

; High level Zones:: '''Sun Vale''' NPCs, foes, landmarks (during alpha some abilities may move from one vendor to another, but those edits will not be lost, just moved to other articles as the game updates) ; 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. ; IMPORTANT: <span style="color:#F00;font-size:1.5em;">*</span> Please be aware that Eric (lead dev) has expressed interest in feeding most abilities/recipes into the wiki at some point (probably using the "Semantic" extension and formatting tables with special templates). That means you should probably not create any individual pages for recipes or abilities at this point during alpha. Doing so is not terribly useful as the wiki search will find them in relevant lists (NPCs, or Skills pages), and they may be overwritten when this data is fed into the wiki directly from the developer's spreadsheets/database. If you have knowledge of how to automate this kind of thing, please message [[User talk:Gorgonzola]]. The ''design'' of such tables can be discussed in the [[Skill Template]] page. </div> ==Article Guides (structure and consistency)Spoilers ==Note that If the following are not actual MediWiki templates. They are an example page in which we can discuss what the structure of the articles information exists, this Wiki should look like. These should be used as a guide for creating new articles. As the Wiki community grows we can discuss the of these articles in the relevant '''Talk Pages'''record it somewhere. For now I recommend to "watch" the templates below (click the star icon). They will be on your watchlistNow, and also appear to be in '''bold''' text in Recent ChangesProject Gorgon is exploration based, so you can more easily follow updates. <div style="background:#f8f8f8;border:1px solid #ccc;padding:5px;"><DynamicPageList>category = Template guides</DynamicPageList></div> ==Formatting Templates==See [[:Category:Template demos]] for a good overview with examples.

: 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.
