Hello. You can find me ingame as Gorgonzola ;) .. I'm just a player learning MediaWiki.

I don't like Wikia because it's riddled with ads, and only half the page is actual content. It is cool that they are making Wikimedia more accessible though (with the rich text edit, etc). Hopefully you'll find the MediaWiki formatting and editing articles below useful.

I hope by improving the Main Page, and adding a bit of structure in these early days of the alpha, that it will encourage other players to expand the content.

If any one reads this note that atm, the wiki registration won't let you confirm the email (error).

Cool Pages

Haste : lists all known means of gaining run speed boosts
Belt : lists all the Lucky Belts
Dungeons : table overview of indoor activities included in the game ;)
Templates
Template Guides (copy pasta)
Dungeon Template
NPC Template
Formatting Templates
Template:Quote : use it to quote in game descriptions
TODO Basic Item template box to avoid uploading many images that will be quickly obsolete
TODO Basic Armor/Health/Rage for foes (can be expanded later)
TODO Nicer looking SPOILER tag that allows formatting inside

Links are in dark blue barely distinguishable from normal text.

Regarding my edits

  • I use a __NOTOC__ 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 __NOTOC__ marker can always be removed later if something gets long enough.
  • I've added image tags ( [[File:foo.jpg]] ) to many pages without an actual image. This is a way to keep track of images that can be added later, through Special:WantedFiles. Feel free to go through the list and add missing images!
  • 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 and Zone templates are just a structure guide to save a bit of time (copy/paste). They are not actual templates as that would be quite complex to handle (I presume parameters would be too long).
