Editing The Wandering Inn Wiki:Community

{{DISPLAYTITLE:'''[Wiki Warriors] Community'''}}

<center><h2 style="margin:10px; font-family:Cinzel; font-size:3em;">It All Starts Here</h2></center>
<center>Welcome to the Community portal!<br>This is where you should be if you want to start helping out with the wiki.</center>
<center>This is also where [Wiki Warriors] come together to organize and discuss [[#Special Projects|projects]] for the wiki.</center>

==What is a wiki and how you can help==

A wiki is a collection of interlinked pages where '''anyone can create new pages or edit existing ones'''.

Yes, that means '''YOU''' can, and should help if you see any missing or false information on the wiki. Signing up for an account is encouraged but not mandatory, you can participate anonymously. Only your IP address is logged. [[Special:UserLogin|Sign up here if you wish.]]

People edit wikis on their free time. If you see a page lacking content, it's because no one took the time and effort yet to add it. Maybe you can help?

==How to create pages==

First, make sure the page doesn't exist already by making a search. Use the magnifying glass button to start a search.

You can use these handy forms:

{{CreateNewPage}}

Don't worry if the name of the page isn't exact: pages can be renamed, and a redirection can be put in place.

==How to edit pages==

To edit a page or a section, click the "Edit" button on the right of a page. Almost all pages are editable by anyone.

[[File:Page_edit.png|800px]]

[[File:Section_edit.png]]

The other icon will take you to the ''wikicode editor''. This is for advanced users. If you want to learn more about wikicode, see [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting the Mediawiki help page on formatting].

'''Don't be scared to edit any page!''' If you do something wrong, changes can be reverted at any time. Feel free to help!

'''All changes are logged''' so don't worry about making mistakes. See the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes page]] to browse the latest edits to the wiki.

==I don't know where to start==

You want to help but don't know yet which page you could work on?

*There are many, many articles, topics, characters and chapters to create and expand upon [[pirateaba]]'s ever-changing Innverse. See a need? Fill a need.
* Improve the  various '''[[:Special:ShortPages|short]]''' articles by adding content.
*Un-orphan or delete some [[Special:LonelyPages]]. Some might need to be deleted, others linked from the proper pages to not be orphaned anymore.
*Create the pages from [[Special:WantedPages]], these are "red-links". Pages who have been linked to, but do not exist yet.
* If you see information that should be cited, leave a <code><nowiki>{{cite}}</nowiki></code> to [[:Category:Citation_Needed|mark it for citation]].
* Find a page that should be deleted? Mark it for deletion by adding <code><nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki></code>. Give more information to the admins reviewing the deletion within within your edit details or a comment if needed!
* If you know a particular chapter that can be used as a reference, [[Help:Policies/Style_Guide#References_and_Citations|here's how you can cite the online TWI Chapters.]]
* To follow the changes to the wiki, and to look out for new users and edits use '''[[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]]'''.
* You can find a list of useful templates on '''[[:Category:Templates]]'''.
*Want to upload Fanworks or Fanart? Start by checking out the [[Help:Fanworks Policy|Wiki's Fanworks Policy]]. Artist permission granted? Great! Refer to the [[Help:Policies/Fanart_Upload_Guide|Fanart Upload Guide]].
*See [[Help:Editing Tools]] for tools that might help  you during your editing journey.

==Awards and Levels==
This wiki uses an awards and leveling achievement system to reward editors for their contributions. These systems reward nothing but fluff and prestige.

''See [[Help:Awards]] for more Awards details.''<br>
''See [[Help:User_levels]] for more wiki User Level details.''

==Special Projects==
Archived or Completed projects are stored at [[:Category:Archived Wiki Projects]]
<h3>Wiki Projects with Specific Goals or Improvement Plans</h3>
*[[Project:Class Overhaul]] Let's discuss and draft how auto-creating our class pages should work from the info we already have.
*[[Project:Wikipedia]] Draft a Wikipedia article for the Wandering Inn
*[[Project:Chapter Images]] Adding images to each [[Chapter_List|Chapter's]] infobox.
* Wiki Data Management. Currently testing Cargo (See [[:Category:Cargo_Templates]]) and Semantic MediaWiki. <span style="border: 2px blue; border-top-left-radius:1ex; border-bottom-left-radius:3ex;"><strong class="mw-selflink selflink"><span style="padding-left:2px; color:black; background-color:#f7a71b; border-top-left-radius:1ex; border-bottom-left-radius:3ex;">Torenity</span></strong>
* Develop [[Template:Ref_Draft]] for dual linking chapter and wiki pages. Try to add an in-line icon for Wiki. <span style="border: 2px blue; border-top-left-radius:1ex; border-bottom-left-radius:3ex;"><strong class="mw-selflink selflink"><span style="padding-left:2px; color:black; background-color:#f7a71b; border-top-left-radius:1ex; border-bottom-left-radius:3ex;">Torenity</span></strong>
* [[Main Page]] overhaul. Create Image cards
* Appearance Guide - Draft a standard for [[:Category:Appearances|Appearances]] pages, to be added to [[Help:Policies]].

* Create pages for characters without a page, refer to [https://innwords.pallandor.com/characters_nowiki?order_by=MentionsDesc this list here], thank you Pallandor.
* [[Inconsistencies]] should be updated regarding the [[Stone Spears Tribe]] and [[Volume 8]]
* Add image cards or panels to the [[Main Page]], for popular pages. E.g. Erin, Ryoka, Characters, Classes, Skills. etc.
* Add link to [[:Help:Awards]] within UserProfile page.
*After everything else...Investigate [https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Introduction_to_Semantic_MediaWiki Semantic Mediawiki], an extension that essentially turns wikis into machine-readable databases. Potential to solve our many, many manually generated lists, alternative to the resource-intensive DPL extension. Or its light-weight alternative: [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cargo Cargo]
