If you're new to editing MediaWiki, don't worry! We use templates and guidelines to make contributions easy, fast, and clean.

General Rules

  • Use templates whenever possible (for consistency).
  • Keep page titles simple and match in-game names.
  • Always link related content (classes, zones, items) when possible.
  • Add categories properly — many templates do this automatically.
  • If you're unsure, ask! We want contributions to be fun, not stressful.

Advanced Editing

Once you're comfortable, you can help with:

  • Template improvements
  • Building full regional maps
  • Helping curate enemy lists and spawn information
  • Organizing guides for crafting, class builds, and exploration

Style Guidelines

  • Write from a neutral, factual perspective.
  • Match the in-game terminology and phrasing where possible.
  • Avoid spoilers when describing lore unless clearly marked.
