This wiki uses the '''MediaWiki''' platform. If you are new to MediaWiki, see the Help articles on the sidebar.
==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]. '''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 discussion in any Talk Page talk pages should generate a notification, however it may does not work on this wiki yet (we'll have to ask devs to add required extensions). Consider '''watching''' talk pages (click the star) which you are participating in, as they will be highlighted in the [[Special:RecentChanges]]. Either way, structuring talk pages is very helpful. ==Formatting==Use existing pages as a guide, and for further details see the [[Project Gorgon Wiki:Formatting|formatting guidelines]] page.
==Where to Help==
The following areas of the wiki need the most help:
; Pages that need fleshing out
: [[Oritania]] (almost empty) - [[Under the Hand]] - [[Wolf Cave]]
; 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.
