Most importantly don't let the wiki editing get into your enjoyment of the game! Set some time aside to wind down and just play. One way I do it is to take captures with [http://www.fraps.com/ FRAPS] and review them later in [httpSpecial://www.xnview.com/en/ XnViewNewFiles]. [http://capture2text.sourceforge.net/ Capture2Text] is very handy to grab text from an image and put it into the clipboard (saves typing). ==Talk Pages==Please have a brief read of [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki<br/Help:Talk_pages#Editing_conventions_on_talk_pages MediaWiki Help on Talk Pages]. '''Signatures, indents, and topics''' (headings) in Talk Pages make it easier to see how the discussion is going and who has last replied, not just for the person you respond to, but any future editors who want to get up to date on the history of an article. Ideally, replies to someone in any Talk Page should generate a notification, however it may not work on this wiki yet (we'll have to ask devs to add required extensions). Either way, structuring talk pages is very helpful. ==Where to Help==The following areas of the wiki need the most help: [[Oritania]] is almost empty. <div style="background:#f8f8f8;border:1px solid #ccc;padding:5px;">; Skills: Listing of the Advanced Abilities available from drops(recipes)/NPCs/etc: 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 [[TemplateSpecial:ItemTListFiles]]):: ... which other skills does it work well with? and why? ; Recipes: Tables of recipes available from various NPCs. It is not necessary (and probably overkill) to create new articles for each recipe, as the wiki search takes care of finding any relevant article. eg; If a player ingame types "<br/wiki orange" they will find any articles that mention oranges, including relevant recipes.:: A table of recipes (columns for price, favor, etc, is secondary. Leave them out if that is too much work, it can be added later). ; Dungeons: Higher level dungeons are poorly documented atm::: 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]])> ; High level Zones:: '''Sun Vale''' and soon '''Fae Lands''' (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, eg. Agrashab 's Training) ; Missing images: Look at [[Special:WantedFilesUnusedFiles]]. 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.

==Article Guides (structure and consistency)Welcome to the Wiki==Note that Welcome to the following are not actual MediWiki templatesProject Gorgon Wiki. They are an example If you found this page in which we can discuss what the structure of the articles should look like. These should be used as a guide for creating new articles, it probably means you want to contribute.

As ==First Steps==1. After you create your account and login for the Wiki community grows we can discuss the of these articles in the relevant first time, setup your personal '''User''' and '''Talk PagesUser talk'''pages. For now I recommend to Click on your username and "watchTalk" in the templates below upper right corner (click the star icondesktop view)to create those pages. They will be on your watchlistEven if you leave them blank, and also appear their existence makes it easier for other users to be in '''bold''' text in Recent Changes, so contact you can more easily follow updateswith questions or to request collaboration on a larger project.

<div style="background2. Please briefly read [http:#f8f8f8;border//www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:1px solid Talk_pages#ccc;paddingEditing_conventions_on_talk_pages MediaWiki Help on Talk Pages]. '''Signatures, indents, and topics''' (headings) on '''User talk''' pages and '''Talk pages''' make it easier to see the flow of discussion and allows future editors who want to get up to date on the history of an article to quickly do so. * Consider '''watching''' talk pages (click the star) which you are participating in, as they will be highlighted in the [[Special:5px;">RecentChanges]]. You can also change your '''Preferences''' if you want to receive alternative notifications for watched pages. <DynamicPageList>category = Template guides</DynamicPageList></div>* Most users will want to place their personal '''User talk''' and '''User''' pages on their watchlist.

==Formatting Templates==For a full list 3. Next, it will be helpful to familiarize yourself with some of formatting templates, see [[:Category:Formatting templates]]the information to the right. This wiki uses the '''MediaWiki''' platform. Below If you are new to MediaWiki, some Help articles can be found on the most commonsidebar.

If you have some template ideas4. When creating pages, or something you'd we would like, drop me a message at to maintain some semblance between similar pages. You can check out the [[User talkProject Gorgon Wiki:GorgonzolaFormatting|formatting guidelines]]page for some advice. This page may be outdated, however a '''Article guide pages''' section contains a list of very useful templates that most new pages are built to follow. The best method is to find a similar page, and check the formatting of that page and the template the page is based on.

<div style="background:#f8f8f8;border:1px solid #ccc;padding:5px;">; 5. You may want to join a [[Template:QuoteDiscord]]server to communicate with other Gorgon wiki editors.* Wiki-themed channels can be found in both '''Project: Quote official text Gorgon (both ingame NPC talk Official)''' and developer'''The Gorgon's posts)Head Discord'''* Large group editing projects are usually organized through Discord.

; [[Template:Hint]]5. Finally, pick something to add. You can choose from one of the general categories below, or focus on contributing to anything that you would like to work on.: Hides light spoilers inside * If you intend to make change that will impact many pages (rewriting a tooltip. This helps keep template, changing the layout nice of something), it is best to check with an experienced editor first!* Occasionally a new user will start a project, such as these fit "inline". Keep these hints short because rewriting the ''Locations'' section of the ''Creature Template'', before realizing part of the way through that they appear as a tooltiphave over 900 pages to manually change. You can not use double quotes insideIn this situation, use single quotes 'like this'the user should have asked for help completing the project.Many experienced editors are willing to help!

==Where to Help==The following areas of the wiki need the most help:; Creature Page Updates* Style: Most Creatures require updates to follow the [[Creature Template]]. Most pages have an outdated layout for the Miscellaneous section.* Content: The Reported Loot sections need additional information gathered from in-game!* Content: Images. Over 500 creatures still require quality, daytime, cropped screenshots to use in their infoboxes. You can find a list of wanted images at [[Special:WantedFiles]], or browse Anatomy category pages. 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 may be missing monsters on the wiki. Usually, these are unique summons by bosses.; NPCs* Style: Many NPCs are using an outdated layout for their Training section. The proper format can be found on the [[NPC Template]] page. * Content: Most NPCs are missing their Conversations section. ; Skills* Content:SpoilerMost skill pages require a few sentences to be written introducing the skill, and require elaboration of Mechanics.** Mechanics for [[Druid]], [[Warden]], [[Priest]], and [[Beast Forms|Beast Form]] skills need content submitted by players who are proficient in those skills.* Content: Most skill pages require an image for their infobox. This is recommended to be a quality image of something that represents the skill.; Dungeons* Content: Most dungeon pages require elaboration on Points of Interest. * Content: Hide big spoilers Most dungeon pages have a sparsely populated Harvestables section.* Content: Most dungeon pages are missing a screenshot of the in -game map, without any labels.* Content: Comments may be added to the introductory section of a dungeon page, describing why players explore the dungeon. Are they there to collect any particular loot? Is it usually because of a quest?* Content: Consider adding a few screenshots to highlight the sights in a gallery tag (see [[Dungeon Template]]).; Gameplay* Content: Pretty much all gameplay/mechanics articles should be expanded upon. ; Wanted Pages* The Project Gorgon wiki automatically generates a list of pages it believes to be "wanted" at [[Special:WantedPages]]. While this list can be helpful at identifying actually missing pages, the inclusion of something on this list does not guarantee that a page is necessary.:*Items are added to the Wanted Pages list when a collapsible blockbroken link is created on another content page. Unfortunately we Sometimes the link is created from a misspelled word! If so, fix the spelling mistake and do not create a page for the misspelled word. :*Intentionally deleted categories can sometimes appear on this list. As an example, the Wanted Pages list includes '''Category:Halloween 2017''' as a Wanted Page. This is a category which once existed on the wiki but was consolidated into a different category years ago. It still appears on the Wanted Pages list because of how the wiki system processes subcategories. :*If you believe a page or pages included on the Wanted Pages list should actually be created, please create it if you are able to submit the proper content for that page. If a Quest appears on the Wanted Pages list and you are not format proficient at adding quest pages, it would be better to leave the page in the list than to create a table inside thosehalf-correct page! Consider using lists (bullet lists; Mark pages for Deletion* If you come across an irrelevant or duplicate page and want to have it deleted, definition lists)add the code <b><nowiki>[[Category:Candidates for deletion]]</nowiki></b> to the bottom of the page. One of the wiki administrators will be notified.== Bots==The Project Gorgon Wiki uses a variety of bots to create or update certain types of pages with content provided by the developers through the public CDN repository for Project: Gorgon. Users should be aware that some of their edits may be overwritten by a bot when it is activated.

; '''Active Bots in October 2024:''' TamiqBot. The majority of actions previously handled by bot accounts have been rewritten and automated by the [[TemplateUser:ItemTFoxnEagle]].

; [[Template:MAP infobox]]== Spoilers ==: Create an attractive "info card" for dungeons and sub-areas (Although the Project Gorgon Wiki generally displays a large '''A Note About SPOILERS !''' on the homepage warning users they may find unmarked spoilers, we do not use for zones yeta spoiler system. For the most part, may use if you are typing up a different particular type of page, refer to the templatefor that type of content to see what goes into a spoiler. (NPCs, Dungeons, Skills, Abilities).</div>Many spoiler tags are also used to collapse large lists.

==Categories==This section gives an overview Outside of existing template-defined styles, is hard to provide a Yes/No list for what should or should not go in a spoiler. The location of a dungeon should not be a spoiler. If the common categories: : [[:Category:Zones]]: [[:Category:Dungeons]]: [[:Category:Bosses]]: [[:Category:Elite]] (Elite Bosses): [[:Category:NPCs]]:: dungeon requires a very specific method to access, that information should probably be placed in a spoiler! The [[:Category:Serbule NPCsDark Chapel]]:: [[:Category:in Eltibule NPCs]]:: [[:Category:Kur Mountains NPCs]]:: etcis a good example. The existence of the dungeon is not a spoiler. The puzzle-based method to access the dungeon is a spoiler. Project Gorgon is exploration based, so some spoilers might damage potential discoveries players might make. In general, record everything, but if the topic spoils a riddle, puzzle, or is something extremely hidden, it is best to spoiler tag it.: [[:Category:Skills]]:: [[:Category:Beast Forms]]:: [[:Category:Combat Skills]]:: [[:Category:Other Skills]]:: [[:Category:Trade Skills]]

: 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.
