Beginner Guide - How to Contribute to the Wiki

Welcome, and thanks for helping improve the wiki!

This short guide explains how to get started and how to use the most common templates.

First you will need to register an account, in order to be able to edit or add sites to the wiki.

First step after creating an account (important)

After creating your account, you must change the wiki skin:

  • Click on Preferences
    Preferences
    Preferences
  • Go to the Appearance tab
    Appearance Tab
    Appearance Tab
  • Select Dark Color
    Darkmode
    Darkmode
  • Save your changes
    Save
    Save

⚠️ The light version of Vector 2022 is currently bugged and may display pages incorrectly in editing mode.

2. General editing basics

Click Edit on any page to start editing.

Edit

It basically works like any regular editor you know. If you're already familiar with coding or wiki editing, you can also directly edit in source.

Always show the preview before you publish. Its shown after clicking "save changes" in the bottom left corner:

Changes
Changes

Keep text clear and factual. Avoid unnecessary formatting unless needed

3. Using templates (recommended)

To keep the wiki consistent, please use the available templates instead of free-form layouts. Just press on Insert in the edit bar and chose Insert -> Template. Then you can search for one of the following available templates. You can use the edit function to use the User Interface (UI) or go into the source code view. The source code is more understandable in most cases, than the UI is.

Insert Template

📦 Item pages – ItemInfobox

Use this template when creating item pages:

Dragon Slayer


Class —
Defense —
Weight 200
Required Level 75
Applicable Job Knight / Lord Knight
ID —
Price —

❓ FAQ entries – FAQ

Use this template to add FAQ entries. In this case you are probably faster by editing the source code.

How do I register an account?

You can register an account on the Registration page. Make sure to use a valid email address.

You can place multiple FAQ templates on the same page.

Guides and Quests

For Guides and Quests, there is a special way to use the proper Design. It already includes:

  • structured steps
  • requirements
  • rewards
  • navigation boxes

This ensures all guides look consistent and are easy to read. This one is a bit tricky to use, so you might want to save this "link" somewhere local.

  1. Paste this link into your browsers search bar but dont press Enter yet https://wiki.primaryro.com/index.php?title=YOUR_QUEST_TITLE&action=edit&preload=MediaWiki:Quest-preload
  2. In the link there is the argument ?title=. This defines the page title. So simply replace the text after ?title= to the name of the Quest you want to create. Spaces between words are generated by underscore: _ . So in this example for the Niflheim Entry Quest, we write: Nifleheim_Entry_Quest and the link becomes: https://wiki.primaryro.com/index.php?title=Niflheim_Entry_Quest&action=edit&preload=MediaWiki:Quest-preload
  3. After opening the link, simply save the page (don't change anything in the code).
  4. Now you can simply edit the page in the visual editor to your needs. As example Quest, the Large Baphomet Horn Quest is shown, so you get an idea how to get started.

4. Final tips

  • Upload images before referencing them in templates.
  • Use existing pages as examples.
  • If unsure, keep it simple or ask a moderator.
  • Every contribution helps — thank you for supporting the community. ❤️
