AQW Wiki Editing Guide

Summary:

A guide to editing pages on this wiki.

AQW Wiki Editing Guide

Updated August 2017, added an explanation on page locks in Editing Window (Part 2).

(Already read the guide, but not sure what to edit? Click here for a list of suggestions!)

This is a guide to hopefully help most users, new and old, get the hang of editing pages on this wiki. This guide basically covers most of the practical stuff. Includes screenshots and such to help you understand things.

As always, the Wiki Rules apply here, and everywhere else on this wiki.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask in the Wiki How-to/Q&A, or PM a staff member on the Site Members page.

Creating/Editing a Page

The first step is creating a page, and there are two ways of doing so:
1. Type in the page name you want in the textbox on the sidebar (besides the 'new page' button)
2. Type in the page name you want in the address bar
(i.e. http://aqwwiki.wikidot.com/whatever-page-name-you-want <- Do NOT use this link, it's just an example. Dashes can be replaced by spaces as they work the same way)

If you want to edit a page that's already been created, find that wiki page and scroll down to the bottom of it. There should be an "Edit" button (click here to see it; it's circled in red). Click on the Edit button in order to edit the page.

Please keep in mind that there are some pages (such as the sidebar, the Site Members page, the homepage, etc.) that cannot be edited by normal wiki editors. Please feel free to PM a staff member if you're unsure.

Now, onto how the editing window works.

Editing Window (Part 1)

Here's an image showing each important part of the editing window with a different colored box around it and where it can be found (Anything else that isn't circled, feel free to ignore it):

+ Click here to show image

Firstly, I will try to explain what the first 3 boxes are and how they work to the best of my ability:

• The area in the red box is the page title. As simple as it sounds, this is where the name of your page goes. A couple of things to note:
  • If you create a page using the address bar that has an apostrophe in it, (like, for example, Alchemist's Rifle), the title will start off looking like 'Alchemist S Rifle'. You'll see that both links work as they're both legit, although the second one just looks very odd. Make sure to fix that when you're creating the page because Wikidot treats all apostrophes, dashes, etc. as spaces. Don't ask me why.
  • Changing the page title does not actually rename the page URL. If you need to actually rename a page (because the URL has a typo in it or for another reason), exit the page and create a new page with the correct name/URL (if you're creating the page), or PM a staff member on the Site Members page to get the page renamed (if the page has already been created).
• The area in the blue box is the "initial content" section where the preset templates are. See where it says "no template (blank page)" with a little down arrow () next to it? Clicking on that arrow will show a drop-down menu showing all the preset templates. Here is what that looks like: (click here, and you will see two more templates here if you scroll down). Clicking on one of the templates will automatically load up that template in the editing window. We ask everybody to please use the templates, as doing so will help prevent mistakes, and there's less hassle for everybody.
• The neon-green box is the editing window. This is pretty much where you do the majority of your editing. The only things you can't edit in the editing window are the tags and the parents; those will be explained later on in the guide.

The other colored boxes will be explained later on in the guide.

Now comes the fun part: making the body of the wiki page.

---

Templates (Work In Progress)

(Note: This section of the guide is still a Work in Progress. The templates themselves should be pretty easy to figure out as is, but I'm creating this section for those who are still having a hard time understanding. I will try to finish up this section of the guide as quickly as I can, so thank you for your patience. If you have any questions about the templates, please feel free to PM a staff member.)

Below are a list of all the templates, broken down in order to make things easier to understand. Click on the collapsibles to show the content of each template:

Notes:

• Anything in between a set of three brackets *[[[like this]]]* is a link. Make sure all links are spelled correctly when typing them in. Links that are broken (or example links in this guide) will appear orange, links that are working will appear as red. Use this as a guideline to make sure that any links you put in are spelled correctly.
• I'm not going to include [[include image-tags]] in any of the templates. They do not need to be touched.
• Please record any typos you see in-game, whether it be in NPC dialogue, item names/descriptions, etc. We record everything exactly as it is on the wiki.
• For image guidelines, please see the Image Submission Guidelines thread.
• For notes, please see the Note Consistency thread.

Editing Window (Part 2)

Now, back to this image. I will try to explain what the last 2 colored boxes in the editing area and how they work to the best of my ability:

• The orange box basically describes itself: it's is a little text box where you can describe the changes you made to the page (for example, if you fixed a typo. say "fixed a typo *here*", or if you're adding in new information, say "added new information *here*", etc.). If your description ends up being more than 200 characters, you can post in one of the proper forum threads provided instead. I recommend using this feature when editing large wiki pages with lots of text, as it makes finding changes easier for others and the wiki staff.
• The yellow-mustard box is is a page lock with a timer. The sole purpose of this page lock and timer is to let people know that you are creating/editing the wiki page. In order to keep refreshing this timer, you need to be editing in the editing window. If you let the timer go down too far, people might think that you're not creating/editing the wiki page and they might force-lock you. Please make sure to keep your page lock timer constantly refreshed when creating/editing wiki pages so that you don't get force-locked by accident.
• Finally, there's the pink box. This is where you preview and save your page, among other things. I will explain each button to the best of my ability:
  • The Cancel button pretty much explains itself. Opposite to the Save button, it cancels the wiki page and exits you out of the editing window on a wiki page. If you're editing a page you're about to create and decide you don't want to create the page, or if you're in the middle of editing a page and decide that you didn't want/need to edit it, then hit the Cancel button.
  • The Preview button lets you preview the page. In other words, it lets you see what the page would look like before you save/create it. This button is incredibly useful as it makes correcting mistakes easier. Please use this button whenever possible.
  • I'm going to skip the Save Draft button as I have found it does not work for me when creating pages. The button DOES work after the page has already been created, but I don't recommend it since if you save your draft and leave the page, other people might enter the page and delete your draft by mistake. If you need to save your work while you're in the middle of editing, save the work in a program like Microsoft Word or Notepad, or use an external site such as pastebin.com.
  • The Save button pretty much explains itself. Opposite to the Cancel button, it saves your wiki page and creates it. Please use this button when you want to create your wiki page.
• Please remember to use either the Cancel or Save button (depending on the situation) if you wish to exit the editing window on a wiki page. Do not close the browser/tab window, as this will create what I like to call a ghost lock. A ghost lock is where it appears as if you're editing (it will show a page lock to others who try to edit the page) even though you're not. And since we have a rule about force-locking others, this causes people wanting to create/edit a page to wait until the person saves and/or exits the page. This can cause quite a bit of confusion and delay, so please be careful.

If you have followed all of the instructions above, and you feel that your wiki page is complete, please click the Save button in order to create your wiki page.

Congratulations! You have now made a wiki page. Don't think you are done yet though. You still have to tag and parent your page, both of which are explained below.

But before we get to that, there is one more thing I would like to note.

After creating a page, if you go into the editing window again, a few more buttons will show up at the bottom of the page (click here to see them). I would like to take a minute to explain them to you:

• The Show Changes button shows any changes you made to the page while currently editing. I'll use AQ3D's version of Cysero as an example, with the code on the page looking like this (click here). For example, let's say that he moved to a new location (Doomwood Forest) and his appearance changed. I would add the new location in and update the page to show his new appearance while keeping his old one. Here's what the code on the page looks like now: click here. And here's what the changes look like when clicking the "Show Changes" button (with stuff in blue being added in, and stuff in red being removed): click here. The button is great to use if you can't remember what information you added in and/or removed.
• The Save and Continue button is like the Save button, except it saves the page and keeps you in the editing window instead of exiting you out of the editing window. It pretty much explains itself. That being said, please do not use this function. Using the function over and over again can create a lot of revisions which clogs up the Recent Changes page and it causes the history of the wiki page you're editing to get clogged. While it is useful, it can be really spammy so again, please don't use it.

Now, onto tags and parenting!

Tags

If you don't know what tags are, feel free to read the first post of the Tag Discussion thread.
For a list of all currently used tags, see the Comprehensive Tag List.

Tagging pages is very important, as it helps keep the wiki organized, and tags help play a role in making some of our automatically updating pages, index lists, and other functions around the wiki work. This section will be explaining how it's done.

The first thing you'll want to do is scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the "Tags" button (image if you're not sure where it is). Now, this is where some users find it difficult, as they don't know what tags to add. I have taken the liberty of writing down what pages need what tags, to reduce headaches. All you have to do is click on one of the collapsibles below.

+ Auto-Index Tags

These are the tags we use to help automatically update the index pages. These tags apply to all pages.

A few guidelines:

• There MUST be an underscore before the letter, always.
• No space between the underscore and the letter.
• No more than ONE hidden tag per page.
• Pages that do NOT receive hidden tags:
  • Class pages
  • Disambiguation pages (Example)
  • Enhancement pages
  • "List of" pages (Example)
  • War pages##
• Above all else, contact staff with any questions.

Here is a list of all of them:

• _lv# - All monster pages receive this tag. Replace the pound symbol/hashtag ("#") with the level of the monster you're adding the tag to (i.e. _lv40)

Parenting

Parenting pages (like tags) help keep the wiki organized, and they also play a role in making some of our automatically updating pages, index lists, and other functions around the wiki work. This section will be explaining how it's done.

To set a parent on a page, do the following steps:

1. Click Options (located at the bottom of the page)
2. Click Parent
3. Enter the page you wish to parent to (a list can be found below).
4. Click "Save".

A couple of things to note:

• You can only parent to pages that currently exist, so be careful of any typos you might make.
• Try to follow the same parent path as other pages in said category.
• Regarding Disambiguation pages, parent them to the wiki's homepage (type "main")

Here is a list of all the index pages that can be parented to (the red links being the pages you parent to):

armors » Armor
capes-back-items » Cape/Back Item
classes » Class
events » Event
factions » Faction
floor-items » Floor Item
helmets-hoods » Head Item
houses » House
locations » Location
mini-games » Mini-Game
misc-items » Misc. Item
monsters » Monster
necklaces » Necklace
npcs » NPC
pets » Pet
quests » Quest
shops » Shop
use-items » Use Items (i.e. potions)
wall-items » Wall Item
wars » War

Final Checklist

This is a quick and short list of things to look out for when making or fixing pages.

Quick List

1. Page Link + Title
2. Correct Templates
3. Tags and Parenting
4. Format + Spelling
5. The Info

Detailed List

1. Page Link + Title

• Pages should be named exactly how it is in-game. This includes typos. If you forgot, or if you made a typo in the wiki page's title that doesn't reflect how it appears in-game, notify a staff member.

2. Correct Templates

• Make sure the template you used was the correct one.

3. Tags and Parenting

• There have been a lot of cases where an item is missing tags/parenting. These are vital to pages, especially if the name of an item doesn't exactly make it obvious what it is. So when you create a page, please remember to tag and parent it to the appropriate page after you're finished creating it. If you don't know how to do these things, feel free to post in the Wiki How-to Q&A thread, or ask a staff member.

4. Format + Spelling

• There should be appropriate capitalization, spacing, etc. Wikidot code should be typed in correctly, without any errors. Feel free to refer to Wikidot's Quick Reference page if you do not know how to type a specific piece of Wikidot code.
• If you need to know how to bold, strikethrough, put in an invisible comment or put colored text on a page, please refer to this page.
• If you need to know how to type out tabs, please refer to this page.
• If you need to know how to type out collapsibles, please refer to this page.
• If you need to know how to type out a specific link, please refer to this page.
• If you need to know how to type out bullets, please refer to this page.
• (Optional) I recommend that you also look through the Wiki Syntax section provided by Wikidot. This isn't required to edit on the wiki, but it does talk about other kinds of Wikidot code that may help you out with this wiki, or other wikis as well.

5. The Info

• Last (well technically should be FIRST if you're the one creating a page), simply check to make sure everything is what it should be. If you see a location picture on a helm page, there's a problem. So use the Preview button often, as said in the first post, and double-check your work.

---

---

That's it for now. We hope this guide has helped explain to you the basics of the wiki.

Once again, if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact a staff member, as we'll be glad to assist you.

Thank you for choosing to help out the AQW Wiki, Battle On!

Recording Attacks

rickyb20 29 Jun 2014 21:59

Huge thanks to Kienkai for creating the original post.

Recording Monster Attacks

When monsters attack you, a number will appear above your head. This shows the damage you took from the attack.
To record attacks, you really only need to do two things: Naming and Counting.

Naming Attacks

Since official names aren't given for attacks, we come up with our own!
We don't give them crazy names though, the attacks are named after what they look like.

Let's use a Frogzard for an example:

+ Toxic Breath

The Frogzard seems to be breathing out poisonous fumes!
We'll name this "Toxic Breath"

+ Bite

The Frogzard takes a huge bite.
Let's name this one "Bite"

Usually, one or two words is enough for a name. :)

Recording Damage

Recording damage is also pretty easy.
You basically let the monster hit you while you take the numbers down :P

Tips

• Click the monster twice to Auto Attack.
• Close the monster select window so you won't fight back. This will make it easier to record.

It is IMPORTANT that you don't use any skills or classes with damage-altering passive skills on the monster, as they can change the attack damage, which we don't want.

• You can record the numbers by typing in your chat bar.
• Damage is recorded from lowest to highest (example: 1-10)
• If the monster has more than one attack, remember which damage is for which attack
• Critical hits (which are big and flash in orange on your screen) DON'T count!

---

That is basically it :)

If you want to see it all put together, here's an example using the Marsh Tree:

+ Correct way of showing attacks

Level: 1 8
Location:

• Marsh
• Marsh 2

Difficulty: 1 2
Attacks:

• Idle: 20-35

Total HP: 1 732
Quest Items Dropped:

• Lumber (Dropped during the 'Camping Out' quest)

Equipment Dropped: N/A

Thanks to Lord Zombie, icydarkstary, Nightly and .Shadow//

+ Less correct way of showing attacks :P

Level: 1 8
Location:

• Marsh
• Marsh 2

Difficulty: 1 2
Attacks:

• The Tree Is Staying Still 20, 23, 24, 27, 31, 34, and 35

Total HP: 1 732
Quest Items Dropped:

• Lumber (Dropped during the 'Camping Out' quest)

Equipment Dropped: N/A

Thanks to Lord Zombie, icydarkstary, Nightly and .Shadow//

Partially [[include]]ing pages (ADVANCED USERS GUIDE)

rickyb20 29 Jun 2014 22:03

Huge thanks to ShadowAQW for creating the original post.

Partially [[include]]ing pages (ADVANCED USERS GUIDE)

First, we would like to emphasise that this tutorial is not meant for new users.

With a new storyline coming up, we've decided to explain our system to [[include]] parts of a page, which we've been using on the Story pages.

This is a community developed workaround as wikidot has made no official way to do this, so it's going to get a little confusing.

We've set up pages here to help explain it as we go along.

Setting up the include:

Familiarise yourself with the coding [!--{$partx}--]@@@@ (x being a variable) and [!-- --].

On the Story pages, we've only been including the quest information and tabview. Wrap your first set of quests with the code, like so:

Keep doing this, increasing the number after "part" each time.

Now we also need to wrap the parts that we don't want to show. This can all be done with the same number, we chose to use part1 to do this.

All the coding we have done can be seen here, it might make a bit more sense in context. There's also this page, but we didn't show it as it's more of the same.

Including the pages:

This is a little tricky to understand. For every part you are including, you have to write the parts you don't want. For the first one, because we want part2 to show, we wrote the code to exclude part1 and part3. And with the second one, because we want part3 to show, I excluded part1 and part2.

Coding can be seen in action here.

---

One small thing to note. Around the wiki, you would have seen the [!-- Do not edit above this line --] note. Because this uses the same commenting system as this, it can often mess with the results, so it needs to be removed on pages that use partial includes. But remember this is the only case where it should be removed.

---

And that's it. We realise this is not an easy thing to understand, so we do not expect everyone to learn this.
If you like this explained in further detail, please feel free to PM me or another mod/admin.
You may also experiment with this on our sandbox wiki. Please contact me or another WQA admin if you would like to gain access to editing on it.

Editing Suggestions

rickyb20 31 May 2016 07:15

Editing Suggestions

Looking for something to edit? Unfortunately, I cannot provide you with anything to edit, but what I can do is give you all some suggestions on what to look out for. Here are a list of things that you can look out for:

• Any mistakes, whether it be tags, parenting, typos, wikidot code errors, etc.
  • If it's a description or name typo, make sure it appears that way in-game before fixing it
  • If it's a mistake on one of the index pages, check the page(s) that show up by mistake for any incorrect tags/parents and fix them accordingly. The automatic updating system that we use to update the index page uses tags and parents, which is probably what the cause of the mistake is
• Creating wiki pages (Don't know how? Read through the first post at the very top of the page!)
• Updating wiki pages. Examples include:
  • Updating tags and parents
    • If an item changes categories (for example, a sword changes into an axe), make sure that after you update the parent, you add a note that says the item used to be that category (i.e. "Note: Previously a Sword."). If the item was also in a shop, make sure that the category icon is updated as well.
  • Adding in new information, adding strikethroughs to information that is considered old but not rare, and added small rare image tags to anything that has gone rare. If you need clarification, please refer to the "Difference between a Strikethrough and a Small Rare image tag" bit I put below.
• New releases (larger releases are mostly held on Fridays, with smaller releases (for example, small shops with a few items in them, or just NPCs with quests, etc) sometimes happening throughout the week). Duties for this include:
  • Creating new wiki pages
  • Updating existing wiki pages (almost always)
  • Updating the New Releases page (I've included a template below, date in the tab goes dd/mm/yy)
  • Updating the Last Week tab with last week's releases (all you have to do for this is copy the releases from the New Releases page, real simple)
  • Updating the Chronicle of Releases
    • In order to update this, copy all the information from the New Releases page (go to the bottom of the page, click "History", click "S" on the most recent revision, and copy everything inside the [[tab]] code. Then type in aqwwiki.wikidot.com/month-year into your address bar in your browser, with "month" being the current month, and "year" being the current year. Edit the page, and at the very bottom, put in a new collapsible (starting code for collapsibles is [[collapsible show="+ day" hide="- day" folded="yes"]], with "day" being the day number that the release came out). Once you have that typed in, paste in the information you copied earlier. Then press enter once and close it off with [[/collapsible]]. Preview it to make sure it's correct and there's no mistakes, then click "Save".
  • Creating and/or updating Event pages (sometimes but not always). These are formatted similar to the New Releases page so it shouldn't be too hard to update)
  • Once the New Releases and Chronicle of Releases are updated, go through all the pages that were created/updated and make sure there are no mistakes or missing information

+ New Release template

Paste this in between the [[tab mm/dd/yy]] and [[/tab]]:

New Releases Editing Guide

New Releases Editing Guide

If you ever want to create pages during a release night, here are some steps for doing so:
1. In the sidebar on the left-hand side of the site, there's a text box with a "new page" button here: http://prntscr.com/kjxb96. This is what you'll use to create new pages.
2. Type the name of whatever you're trying to create exactly how it appears in-game into the textbox (for example, if I wanted to make a page on the NPC named Artix, I would type Artix in the text box).

• A quick note, for shop pages, the shop's name can be found in the shop's interface at the very top. Here's an example of Murry's Shop: http://prntscr.com/kgipvc

3. Proofread the name of the page you typed to make sure it doesn't have any errors, and once you do, click the "new page" button. After you click the "new page" button, one of three things will happen:

• You will be put in the editing window like so: http://prntscr.com/kjxgi8. If this happens, move onto step 4.
• You will get this message: http://prntscr.com/kjxh0a which means somebody is already attempting to create the page. In this case, repeat step 2 in order to create a wiki page for something else instead.
• You will get this message: http://prntscr.com/kjxi3w, which means the page already exists. In this case, repeat step 2 in order to create a wiki page for something else instead.

4. Once you're in the editing window, click the dropdown menu that says "no template (blank page)" and select an appropriate template (for example, if you're making a wiki page based on a weapon, pick the "Weapon Template"). Fill in the whole template completely.

• For templates that have a line for an image URL (it looks like this: [[image *image*]]), please refer to our Image Submission Guidelines here before you add an image URL to the template.
• If you need any assistance with the templates, please let me know.

5. Once you have filled out the whole template and added your name to the "Thanks to…" line, click the "Preview" button to preview the page and check for any text formatting errors or typos.
6. Once you have previewed the page and made sure there are no text formatting errors or typos, click on the "Save" button at the bottom of the page in order to create your wiki page.
7. The final step is to tag and parent your page, instructions for doing both can be found here
