Help:Editing Guide
Purpose
The purpose of this Editing Guide is to ensure that organizational and formatting is consistent across the wiki. By ensuring the experience is consistent for all users, it reduces complexity of understanding and also makes it easier to manage the overall wiki.
Page Heirarchy
All pages should try to be as high-level as makes practical sense with proper use of Headings. This results in good organization of content and reduces the amount of clicking a user will need to experience to obtain information.
For example, there are 4 Crests in the game. In some thought processes, someone would make a page per Crest. It makes much more sense to make an overall Crests page and then individualize specific Crest information with Headers.
Page Structure
All Header 2 sections should be double paragraphed apart.
Header 3-5 sections should only have single paragraph separation.
Non-Player Character (NPC) Page
Every NPC Page should be the exact name of the NPC with matching grammar as well as their room number in parentheses and separated by a space. For example: "Wade (27496)"
Every NPC page should be organized in the following way:
- Category
- Image
- About
- Quests Starter
- Items
Category
At the beginning of every NPC page, the following text should exist to properly categorize this as an NPC: "".
