Quick tips and tricks
- Read Wikimedia's editing guide: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Editing
- Use headers to break complex topics into smaller sections. The words "Quick tips and tricks" above is an example of a header.
Avoid short articles for basic items
Idlescape has hundreds of items, but most are slight variations on another. We don't need a page for every piece of gear in the game.
Instead, create a single page for lists of similar items like equipment, gems, or fish.
More unique items like rare weapons or compost may deserve their own articles.
