We have transfered all the pages from Wikispaces to Mediawiki. Since almost all the sprites got changed we need to replace them. Most of images are uploaded on the server, but they do not appear on pages. This is where we need your help. We can't add them globally using script, it must be done by hand. How can it be done?
We need your help with adding new stuff that has been introduced in recent updates. Also we need to refresh old item/monster/npc pages. To do it&nbsp;we are using templates. How to use them you can find [[How_to_use_templates|there]]. It's easy :)

*You can spot Image icon. Delete it and in place of it put a new image of sprite. This can be done by clicking Image option in Editor and searching for new sprite.
*'''NOTE:''' Most of item and monster sprites are named like this: drake_scale_helmet.png, ghoul.png, etc.

That's how you can help with making a new wiki. If there is any page or image missing, feel free to create a new page or to upload a new image (if you have rights to). Any help matters!&nbsp;

How to contribute?


The wiki relies on the goodwill of the end-user community for its maintenance and update. Any member of the public is able to read the wiki and leave a comment on the discussion page.

 If you feel like contributing, either message Farrk or Reinhard van Astrea in-game or ask for edit rights on chat in Navigation section.
 


What types of contribution can be made?

There are many different ways you can contribute to this wiki:

  • You can post to the discussion board without registering on this particular wiki. You might want to do this to make some general suggestions about this wiki, or alternatively to ask a question about a specific variable that you hope someone might be able to answer within the wiki.
  • If you spot errors of fact on the wiki you can apply to join the wiki so that you can correct it. It always helps if you are able to reference the correction you make to a peer reviewed article or an official document. However, this is not essential and we would definitely prefer pages to be correct, even if you are not able to provide a source.
  • You are welcome to add entirely new sentences, paragraphs and sections. Please do not feel that you need to maintain the existing structure of sub-headings if you do not feel they fit the variable adequately.
  • You are welcome to create entirely new pages, especially if you feel a particular page is so large that it needs to be split.
  • We aspire to make the wiki referenced to peer reviewed articles and official documentation as far as possible. If you are able to help do this then please do add references using standard Harvard referencing.

With what do we need help right now?

We need your help with adding new stuff that has been introduced in recent updates. Also we need to refresh old item/monster/npc pages. To do it we are using templates. How to use them you can find there. It's easy :)
