Wiki contribution guide

The wiki doesn't currently have a strictly enforced style guide or set of rules, so this page is mostly a list of useful templates and some tips on how to use them. If you're not sure how to write an article, check others on the wiki. Even setting up a basis for a more fleshed out article is a good contribution!

Categories
Don't forget to add each page you make to proper categories. Start with the very basic like Category:Characters, Category:Locations etc. and then use more specific categories like Category:Sejan locations. Make sure to check if the categories you're adding to the page actually exist!

Infoboxes
Infoboxes are important for short, simple and elegant list of information on various types of subjects. Add them to the beginning of articles with their attributes filled in, like this:

Character information
Use the template InfoCharacter on any page about a sapient, talkable person in the game. The title of it is automatically taken from the page title. It has the following attributes:

Creature information
Use the template InfoCreature on any page about a feral animal or creature in the game (usually encountered randomly, though there are some exceptions). The title of it is automatically taken from the page title. It has the following attributes:

Location information
Use the template InfoLocation on any page about a large map location. Don't use it for small encounters like Sejan lake but for big areas like Sejan. The title of it is automatically taken from the page title. It has the following attributes:

Settlement information
Use the template InfoSettlement on any page about a localised habitated area like a village or a city. The title of it is automatically taken from the page title. It has the following attributes:

Inventory item information
Use the template InfoInventory on any page about any inventory item, be it a weapon, clothing, armour, utility or quest item. Unlike the previous templates, this one doesn't take its header text from the page title and needs to be specified along with other attributes. It has the following attributes:

Cards information
Cards in the game are moves to be used during combat. Player has some melee moves from the get-go and can acquire more through finding weapons or learning moves. If an item page concerns a weapon that gives the player a card, use the InfoCards template. Just like InfoInventory, the title isn't automatically taken from the page name but has to be filled in manually. There are the following attributes:

Infobox stacking
If you want to have multiple infoboxes above each other, you can use the info_container table class. Otherwise, infoboxes will be displayed next to each other and to circumvent it, one would need a large amount of empty lines. Here's an example of how it works:

All templates are in a single table cell. This makes a difference between the two example screenshots above.

Warning banners
There are two banners currently available that warn the readers of an article being either outdated (BannerOutdated) after a new version release, or not applicable to the game as its content is not in the game yet (BannerUnreleased).

BannerOutdated has one variable field - version (version) of the game the current article applies to. So, if a page was written during v1.13 of the game and v2.0 is released, you should add the banner template to it if the update affects it. BannerUnreleased automatically adds Category:Unreleased content to the page, unless nocategory is specified. Under most circumstances, don't use this modifier.

Navboxes
There is currently only a single navbox available and that's the one for Sejan, Navbox Sejan:

Table classes
A table class was already mentioned above in infobox stacking, but there's one that's much more common and useful. Whenever you use a table in an article, use the tutable class for it. It uses its own formatting including automatically alternating row background colours.

Of course, the table class is also compatible with HTML-style tables, which can be useful with complex tables.
