The objective of this page is to improve the quality of Wiki pages by providing a list of suggested guidelines. Keep in mind that these are only suggestions, and not stricts rules.
If you have an idea for this list, please drop it in the Discussions tab above. This list will likely change as the Wiki project evolves, so check back from time to time.
Contents
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.
Wiki Extensions
If you feel like a feature or an extension is missing, please let us know.
Polls
The AJAXPoll extension allows one or more AJAX-based polls on MediaWiki pages with
tag.You are not entitled to vote.

Example
GoogleDocs
The GoogleDocs4MW extension embeds Google Docs' spreadsheets into the wiki.
