Page Creation Reminders & Guidelines

# The Standard
» Before creating a new page, please:

• Consult similar pages and/or Templates. There are plenty of resources available already to aid in the process.
• Check if there isn't a page already created for said topic.
• It isn't necessary to have a page for every single weapon, mob, or armour piece, in the game. Any armour / weapon that holds an important value should be added, otherwise, please don't make a new page for any item that isn't important. (This guideline could change in the future)
• Reuse images if you can. Please don't upload an entirely new, but same, image for each page that is created. If there is an outdated image, instead of uploading a separate file, simply replace the outdated version.

# Image Etiquette
» Images tend to be the topic of conversation here on the wiki. With each new update, many images become outdated, and are in need of replacement. When adding, updating, or changing images, please follow these guidelines:

• In the search bar, search: File:Name. Name should be a file name that closely matches the one that you are choosing to upload. If you see an image that could be an outdated or incorrect version of the one you are updating, instead of uploading a completely separate image, replace the one outdated/incorrect one with your new one.

The purpose of this guideline is to lessen the amount of space that is taken up by images on the wiki.

• For items, please upload with a transparent background if you can. It is much appreciated.
• Please use the Wynncraft Resource Pack for images.
• Please make sure the image is bright enough to see.
• Please make sure there are no particles.
• Please make sure the image was taken in F1 mode, that way the minecraft gui / overlay isn't present.
• Please make sure the image is taken in normal POV or less, that way the image will look more natural.
• Please name the image before uploading. To be more specific, name it in accordance to the page where it will exist. For example: If it's a picture of the NPC King of Ragni, it would be ideal to name it KingOfRagni.png.
• Please don't use shaders if possible.
• Please make sure the image is taken at a proper distance (for example, most infoboxes use 200px as the standard size. If the image is too far away and the dimensions are too large, this isn't a good thing).
• Please note: It can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few days for an image to upload/update and appear. If your version doesn't appear immediately, please be patient and don't upload consequent versions.

# Conventions
» Please be mindful of these conventions when editing or creating a new page:

• Please make sure your spelling and grammar is correct. If you aren't sure, go to Grammarly, and copy and paste your page into it. Then choose which way to check it and it will give you a list of things to fix and how to fix it.
• When linking pages, please use: [[Link]] or [[Link|Nickname]]. Notice the double brackets.

Link refers to the page name you are linking to. It must match the page name exactly (capitalization included).

Nickname can be used optionally to nicely incorporate links in text blocks. Suppose in my text block I said 'Wynn', and not 'Wynn Province', I could use: [[Wynn Province|Wynn]]. In other words, it's like renaming the hyperlink from 'Wynn Province' to 'Wynn', without changing the page name for 'Wynn Province'.

Note: When using plurals, you can put the "s" after the closing brackets without needing to retype the whole link. For example, [[Emerald Merchant]]s will link to Emerald Merchant, but display as "Emerald Merchants".

# Infoboxes / Templates
» Please read through this section if you consider updating or creating infoboxes and/or templates:

• As of right now, the wiki admininstration would prefer that no one attempts to update infoboxes, update templates, or create templates without consulting either one of them first. The risk is too big if there is an issue with the template.

Wiki Suggestions & Messages

» If you have any suggestions or general messages, please write here.

Please also see our Todo list.

Condensing the Community Portal, Getting a Bot, Admin Activity

First, I believe it would easier for users to post on the Community Portal if the beginning chunk of it was made into a template (e.g., everything from the beginning of the page to "Please see our Todo list" was replaced with <!--Post beneath this line-->{{Template:Community portal}}). It would mean that a user has a lot less content to sift through when loading up the page editor.

Next, I would like to introduce SLSbot, my bot. Technically it's SLScoolBot (there was already an unrelated SLSbot on Twitch), but I prefer SLSbot. My experience as a bot operator can be seen here, and the only bot account on this wiki has been inactive for several months. I would like to run a bot here, with the admin team's permission. There are a number of tasks that could be made easier with a bot—partially because a bot only downloads the text of the page, not anything else that a browser loads in; partially because a bot can fluently scan all articles for key words; and partially because it can get repetitive, and the quicker the massive editing operation is, the better, for both the wiki and the person.

Finally, I have noticed that the administrators of this wiki are inactive; none of them have edited since July or August. Administrators are important to have on a wiki, both for technical (e.g., giving Slscoolbot a bot flag) and authoritative (e.g., approving the template idea) reasons. On the chance that none of the current ones come back, there a couple options. First, we check with the WynnCraft staff to see what they suggest. If they have no opinion, then the active users of the wiki could decide who should become administrators and bureaucrats of the wiki. I'm thinking that, if another user supports this idea, this gets put on the front page in an agreeable position.Slscool (talk) 05:50, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, please get in contact with me by starting a conversation with me on the forums. --Therealcolin350 (talk) 20:09, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Currently the only bot is inactive because there are currently no bot tasks. Even though the current administrators are not very active at the moment, they can still be reached via multiple ways (like the forum). --MarkusRost (talk) 10:52, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Bovine Church

I am not sure if there is much lore on the Bovine Church, but if there is, I believe an article should be created for it.Slscool (talk) 04:42, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Wynn Excavation Site B

Quest Puzzle needed updating. I tested 3 times on my method, confirmed it works the most efficiently, and added it to the wiki page. --Icyflame58 (talk) 5:06, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Dogun's Retreat

This area needs a page. Center of town coords: 1377, 141, -5307

The page has been added: Dogun's Retreat --Chargepump

Caves

Having a page documenting all of the different caves with pictures and mobss and stuff like that would be pretty cool. I would be willing to start this ASAP, just wanted to get a thumbs up from an admin or whoever. --Onlyhereforgamepedia (talk) 00:56, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Adding History Pages to all articles

I think moving "trivia" from previous versions into a dedicated History page for each article would be very useful in knowing specific details for how a quest or item has changed over time, or for a player to be able to easily catch up on how a quest (or things like the new quests that lead up to the Infested Pit) differ in the current version. A good example to take inspiration from would be the Cobblestone History page from the Minecraft Wiki. --SgtDornan (talk) 23:11, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Skill Tree

For Wynncraft's 2.0 release we need at least 5 skill trees. If you are [HERO] or [Champion] then if you have the texture pack you could release a compiled together picture of each class skill tree and post it here

Update Request to Ancient Wynnic Page

Due to the protected status of Ancient Wynnic no one is capable of adding to this page without admin consent

Trivia: On the Map above Fruma there is Wynnic Saying "Comin Soon"

Template:MobsThatDrop fails to load results for "Rare Potato"

In other words, putting {{MobsThatDrop|Rare Potato}} results in "Failed to load mobs! Let a community administrator know about this issue.". I'm not sure what to do about it (As I'm not the one that put the template on Rare Potato's page in the first place) other than follow the "Community administrator" link which led me here. --Twisted Code (talk) 17:52, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

This issue occurs because the template requires at least one mob page to have the MobDrops cargo data, otherwise it defaults to an error message. Generally if you see this, I would just remove or comment out the template so that it can be readded when a mob page gets added/ updated with the info. --Turvvo (talk) 18:38, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Okay, I understand. In that case, how would I go about updating the data for this wiki (I have at least gathered you are using the MediaWiki extension called Cargo, based on the CargoQuery invocation in the template)? Because if Wynnutils is anything to go by (it has built-in iingredient and equipment guides, possibly outdated so I'll confirm each entry by experimentation first, that include loot sources), it looks like you're missing quite a bit of data, and I'd love to help. For example, besides Rare Potato, Crystal Dust only lists one of the mobs that drops it while according to Wynnutils there are 4 sources.

All you would need to do is create the missing pages for mobs that drop ingredients, or add the ingredient to an existing mob page with the MobDrops template. Copy the format of existing pages, such as Weak Zombie or Flame Grilling Swine. I would also recommend using the official item guide at https://wynncraft.com/help/item-guide?filterPreset=0.110&page=1. It was recently fixed to have accurate info. Each item has a clickable link that appears that shows all mobs that drop the item, although sometimes mobs incorrectly show up in the list. This happens when the mob was incompletely removed from the game, so try to verify that the mob still exists before adding it. Quest mobs can be particularly difficult to find in my experience. That's about it, good luck! --Turvvo (talk) 03:31, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

So something like this? Pretty sure I replaced everything that needed to be replaced from Weak Zombie. Also, if I'm understanding you correctly, the interaction with the Cargo extension is handled by the MobDrops template?--Twisted Code (talk) 01:02, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Your Crystallized Miner page looks pretty good. It's missing the elemental properties in the infobox, and you should describe all of the attributes of the mob in the combat section, such as the elemental properties, how they use their spells and what the spells do, do they have a noticeably different movement speed (immobile/very fast/very slow), and other special things that the mob does. Fire Flak is a fairly complex miniboss as an example. Also, since this is a cave mob, you can use the MinorLocation Template (used on Flame Grilling Swine) to add more detailed info about the cave the mob appears at. I've been updating all the caves and cave mobs recently so that's just one of the things that I've been doing.

As for the way cargo is handled; pretty much each Template:MDRow (MobDrops Row) added in the MobDrops template attempts to lookup the ingredient on the wiki; if it exists it pulls the data from the ingredient page (All currently available ingredient pages should exist as of now), then the MDRow will create and store a separate cargo table for each ingredient. All of a page's cargo data can be viewed using the link on the left column on every page, or at the bottom of the page if you are on a smaller screen. MDRow will store the name of the mob page that the template is on, then the name of the ingredient and whether or not the ingredient is guaranteed to drop from the mob as you must indicate in the template. This is the data that is used to display the list of mobs that drop the ingredient on its page.

Sorry for the big wall of text, I hope it isn't too overwhelming. Any and all contributions are helpful, there's a lot of stuff in this game. -Turvvo (talk) 03:20, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Ah, didn't really check the info box template to see what parameters are supported, I just based it on Weak Zombie without much thought. Same for the combat section. I'll see what I can do about that, as well as the other template, when I get a chance.

No problem about the wall of text; as much as I code, I am more or less past the point of becoming overwhelmed by architecture descriptions. I just appreciate the extensive detail, especially about how I can look up to the current data for a page.--Twisted Code (talk) 17:20, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
