Hello. You can find me ingame as '''GorgonzolaI''' ;) m done editing the wiki.It was a fun little project. Feel free to edit any of the templates Iset up.'''m just a player learning MediaWiki.

See [[Project Gorgon Wiki:How to help]] if you'd like to join in! Check out the "MediaWiki Help" articles there if you''How re new to edit the wiki AND have fun'''editing.
A suggestion if you wonder how to handle wiki edits while playing the game====Page Ideas====* What is Project: for the most part, don't. My routine is to use Gorgon?* [[General Gameplay Tips|New players guide]]* [[Belt|List of Lucky Belts]]* [[http://www.fraps.com/ FRAPSMerchants]] and  ====Coding Stuffs====[[http://www.xnview.com/en/ XnViewDPL Extension Testing Ground]] (both free) to manage screenshots while I play. I press a key to take a screen. Occasionally, I also alt-tab to XnView to rename the picture so I know what it was about. Conveniently XnView always has the newest image in the folder highlighted, so {screenshot key} {alt tab} {F2} {enter label} {alt tab}. Pretty easy and it doesn't take me away from the game too long. Later when I have time I just go through the screens and edit whatever I feel like.

==Regarding my edits==
When I create a new page I ask myself: "What purpose does this page have?". I like creating practical content such as "guide" pages that help me when I play, create indexes/tables that have a purpose such as [[Belt|a list of the lucky belts]].
 
If a player /wiki a specific item or foe that does not have his own page, that's not an issue imho. They will get search results and relevant articles. For example <code>/wiki snail shells</code> will show NPCs interested in snail shells.
 
So atm I focus on: NPCs, Zones, Dungeons, Skills, Special (ie. named) creatures and Bosses, and "guide" pages.
 
* I use a <code><nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki></code> for most pages that I don't expect to be long. People are accustomed to mouse wheels, and the TOC tends to make the top of the article look bad with a lot of white space (a solution would be to float the TOC to the right in some pages, that may be doable with a template). The <code><nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki></code> marker can always be removed later if something gets long enough.
* The more templates the better, since they are includes. Templates like "monster stats" can be expanded after alpha, with minimal edits (adding parameters to the templates used in the articles).
* NPC and , Dungeon , Skill and Zone templates are just a structure guide to save a bit of time (copy/paste)pasterino. They are not actual templates as that would be quite complex to handle (I presume parameters would be too long). ==Dynamic Page List Test======List of Formatting Templates====<DynamicPageList>category = Formatting templates</DynamicPageList>
