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can check out the [[Project Gorgon Wiki:Formatting|formatting guidelines]] page, although that is probably partially outdated. The best method is to find a similar page, and see the formatting of that page. ==Talk PagesFirst Steps==Please have a brief read of [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Talk_pages#Editing_conventions_on_talk_pages MediaWiki Help on Talk Pages].

:: ... relevant equipment/desirable augments on items (consider adding an example with [[Template:ItemT]])
; 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.”
:: Add articles for missing bosses
: Information on the Yeti Cave has already been collected by a user, and will be uploaded soon.
; High level Zones
: Serbule Keep page needs to be expanded upon, see the Eltibule Keep page for inspiration.
: A map of Serbule Keep needs to be added, as well as maps of Eltibule Keep, Hogan’s Keep, and Almuna.
: Hand-drawn or computer sketched maps are still missing for most 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 at this time.
: POIs need to be determined and marked for most 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.

==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 themare missing their Conversations section. It would be preferable that these screenshots be taken on the highest level of graphics.: Not all NPCs have pages yet. ; 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.
: 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 unique requirements and 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.
: If you have high level play experience:
:: ... overview of pros and cons (good abilities, bad abilities)
:: ... 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>
; Dungeons
: Many dungeons are poorly sparsely documented, and still require::: Listing of foes, special foes, and harvestable nodes
:: Describe Points of Interest in the dungeon
:: 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]])
; Gameplay
: Pretty much all gameplay articles need to can be expanded upon. The "[[New Players Guide]]" could certainly use an update.; Missing imagesPages: Look at [[Special:WantedFilesWantedPages]]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 images. Click the "(1 link)" next to the red link, click the If that page listed below, then from is relevant and you can expand on that page click the image link in the article please do so.; Delete pages: If you come across an irrelevant or duplicate page and want to have it deleted, add a picture. Try the code <b><nowiki>[[Category:Candidates for deletion]]</nowiki></b> to optimize pictures a little bit in Photoshop by using "Save for Web" (JPEG)the bottom of the page. Size it down to 300 pixels wide to reduce One of the file size, as most articles wiki administrators will display a 300px thumb. Larger images can be used in the Galleries at bottom of dungeon/zone articlesnotified.

==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.
