1. This is highly experimental/beta! Take the information here with a grain of salt. ***Things are highly subject to change.*** 2. Immortals have final say in everything. 3. This is not a forum; take that to crier (or at least the relevant talk pages). Keep discussions to discussion pages, not onto any of the main pages. ***This is intended primarily as an information repository, and should remained as unbiased as possible.*** 4. Keep it PG-13. Spam/vandalism/profanity/general stupidity will most likely result in revoking of edit privileges.
Bear in mind, content is still being added. There is a LOT of information and some formatting issues to address.
Use the Sandbox for test edits.
Page Addition Guidelines
Pages: Abilities Help Files
- Include all the categories, regardless of if the relevant spell/song/skill uses them all. Does not apply to generic help files, but adding See Also: would be nice
- Usually the file will have already been created. If it hasn't been made, check your spelling FIRST, before making a new page. Then check the ingame spelling!
- Some are currently rather embarrassingly devoid of content, namely the ones that simply state "Area version of X spell". Fill them out please!
- Additional notes are just that, additional notes. Do not reiterate the help file again, or paraphrase/translate it into anything like simple breakdown of effects (e.g. try to avoid directly saying "armor gives you -2.0 more ac, lion chorus gives you exactly +whatever to damage", &c)
- Not every page needs additional notes; most files are clear enough for those with half a brain (even to those holding someone else's half!)
- Keep it short! Break long entries into smaller ones
Pages: Areas
- If you feel compelled, feel free to write a little story/description of the area based on the ingame area descriptions. Be nice. The original builder, should they still be around, has final say.
- Quick Notes section just for notes that would usually be written on the map itself
- examples include keys to get into the area, water breathing/fly warnings, aggro/patrol warnings, &c
- this is not the section to mention 'great mobs to hit' or strategies. Add those to General Notes and Tips
- NO equipment/equipment stats &c. That's what eqlist is for. Mentioning one or two prize pieces in the area is acceptable (no stats, just link the eq to eqlist)
- format is:
{{WikEQ|name=short name|keywords=short name keywords}}
Note: The template is case-sensitive!
Pages: Quests
- No full quest details, just quest giver and reward in the appropriate sections. Debating adding quest giver section to area pages, still haven't decided.
Works in progress:
- Honor related stuff, including epics/raid mobs, helpfiles
- Game Mechanics page needs to be redone, newbie guide needs to be formatted as well
