Welcome to The Vesterian Encyclopedia. This is a page that lists what should be done when editing pages on this wiki. To be a good editor, it's recommended that you follow these Editing Guidelines.
Wiki Guidelines[]
- Always only make the page's name bold - Just like any other wiki, bold the name of the article at the beginning of the overview. Only bold it the first time that the article's name is written. Furthermore, don't bold anything else on the page other than the first instance of the article name.
- Do not overload the page with links - Any given page should only be linked to once. You can link again if there is a table.
- Please write grammatical, correctly punctuated full sentences - It is important to have an understandable page. If needed, ask for help from someone else who has more sophisticated English when writing a topic in order to achieve a higher-quality edit which is more understandable.
- Format the infobox - Separate the rows with a new line in order. This is helpful to navigate through the infobox while on source edit mode. Also, be sure to place the infobox at the very top of the page.
- Format mob drops in their order of rarity - When formatting or editing a Mob's infobox, make sure to add all known drops from most common at the top to rarest at the bottom. The rarities may be approximated.
- Format Block Quotes- If writing in an item or location's Block Quote (in-game description), make sure to add quotation marks and italicize what's written. Also, make sure to write EXACTLY what the item's description is: punctuation, capitalization, errors, and all. It must be identical. Include the [sic] label if you believe the in-game item description may contain typos, punctuation errors, and other grammatical errors.
- Writing from Perspective: Please try not to write from the first-person point of view (using I, we, etc.) or use language that is heavily opinionated. Wiki pages aren't blog posts - to write a first-person and/or opinionated blog post, head to the Wiki Forums.
- Formatting Prices - If adding table sorting functions for prices use this:
- | data-sort-value="x" | y {{Bronze/SilverCoin}}
- Where x is the bronze coin value of said item (quotations included). If y (the item) is 100 bronze coins, x = 100. If y (the item) is 10 silver coins, x = 10000. This allows numbers to sort correctly as well as easy addition of new items to tables.
- Italicize Vesteria - When referencing the game "Vesteria" in an article, make sure Vesteria is italicized.
- Always capitalize a word if it has a page - For example, it's never perk, it's always Perk, as that has a page. This includes capitalizing a word if it is in the link to a page.
