Hello,
These guidelines should help maintaining uniformity amongst our various articles on our Freewar-Wiki. Please take heed of them if you wish to create an article.
Thank you.
Contents
Article Creation[edit]
- The first character of each article title should be capitalized (the wiki software automatically capitalizes the first character in the article name). For articles in Namespaces (Quest:..., Clan:..., Unique:... etc.) this applies to first character after the colon.
- Please use proper spelling and grammar.
- (This especially applies when you´re intending to make big changes to articles:) You can notify others with {{Inuse}} that there´s work in progress on that article.
- For articles about things existing in large numbers, please use Templates (→ Help):
List of templates in FreewarWiki[edit]
* See below.
Items[edit]
Example (with source code) see: Template:Item
When creating a new item, you can use the template by entering {{subst:Item}} in the article, then clicking on Save page. After that, you´ll only need to adjust the template to the according Item, providing as much information as known to you.
In case the item is part of a Quest, please replace the link to the Quest with Quest Item, lest people who want to uncover Quests for themselves be spoiled.
For books, the template {{subst:Book}} can be used; for Armor-Items {{subst:Armour}}, for weapons {{subst:Weapon}}, and for the spells {{subst:Spell}}.
Uniques[edit]
Similar to the normal Items, but please use {{subst:Unique-Item}}, in the Unique: Namespace; add an Unique:-prefix in front of your Unique´s name.
NPCs[edit]
Example (with source code) see: Template:NPC
When creating a new NPC article, you can - again, similar to the Item one - type {{subst:NPC}} into the article and it. Afterwards - again - you´ll only need to adjust the appropiate variables.
Areas[edit]
Example (with source code) see: Template:Area
Yet again, type {{subst:Area}} and save. Adjust variables afterwards. Detailed instructions are provided here: Help to Maps.
Places[edit]
Please only create articles about noteworthy Places which are visited by players fairly often, lest the wiki get cluttered with article about non-revelant ones.
Example (with source code) see: Template:Place
Same procedure as before - type {{subst:Place}} and save. Again, adjust variables afterwards.
Quests[edit]
Please always begin Quest-related articles with Quest:
, so that everybody knows that this is an article about a Quest, lest to spoil people who want to uncover their solutions for themselves. Example given: Quest:Small magic sphere.
The template for the Quest articles can be found here: Template:Quest.
The following agreements have been made for publishing Quest (solution/s):
- The discoverer of a Quest decides to make the solution public. In this case s/he can make it public here in an article.
- If you got the solution of a Quest from the discoverer, you should arrange yourself with him/her whether you are allowed to make the solutions public. A reasonable grace period (usually a fortnight) can be granted to him/her until the solution is put online, to give the discoverer a chance to profit from his exclusive knowledge.
- Quester can always provide the (Wiki-)team with exclusive information, which can either be made public immediately or after a certain grace period, up to a fortnight.
For the publication of new quests we´ve come to the following agreement:
- When the explorers decide a quest to make the solution available to the general public here, he can set this here.
- Do you have information on a quest to get someone else who is the discoverer, so you should be with him deny that you are allowed to publish the information and give him a reasonable time (allow 14 days by default) before you set the resolution so that the discovered a certain period of time may profit from his know and so does not lose the willingness to share the hard-won expertise here with us.
- Quest-Explorer can of course always approach the active members of our team, to inform the quest solutions. Here they can require that the solution after 2 weeks (or a any other smaller period) may be submitted online.
In cases two and three be use the Template:Questperiod, you can do this by simply placing {{Questperiod}} into the according Quest article.
Thanks for your help to let the Quester have some fame for that time being.
Uploading Files[edit]
Please refrain yourself from uploading images that can be integrated via external pages, lest to unnecessarily burden Tiramon´s server. Thank you.
Additionally, please talk to the community if you wish to upload a reasonable image.
Uploading personal images to, for instance, decorating your User-, Clan- or Unique-page is explicitly prohibited.
