Help:Formatting

This page is used for help on different formatting tips for all the different pages you may find.

Spoilers
If the page includes detailed information / spoilers include the tag at the top of the page!

Item/Weapons
The name of a weapon page is just the name of the weapon. Naming conflicts shouldn't be a problem.

Weapon Infobox
When you have a Weapon page and want to display stats on it use This will display a Infobox like you see on the right For more information on parameters:

Top of the page
The top of the page should have the item description, as shown in game. This should use the Quote Template to display.
 * If no description is present in game, use your own description without the quote template.

How To Get
Depending on the complexity of obtaining the item will determine how this section should be.


 * Simple Drops
 * For simple items that drop from enemies or are found out in the world/through chests, just make a sub-section called === How to Get ===
 * Here you can just put the details of where to get it, if it drops from certain enemies, if it's found on the ground / in a certain chest, ect.

 This item is a reward for finishing the quest, QUEST NAME
 * Quest Drop
 * If the item is a quest drop, add the === How to Get === sub-section and type:


 * Complicated Drop
 * If the item is complicated and requires multiple steps to get, create a full == How to Get == section (as apposed to a sub-section)
 * Then you can just describe the steps to get the item as it fits.
 * Make sure you are using bulleted lists, using # at the start of the line

Item Uses
If the item has any special uses, create a == Usage == section below how to get it. If the item does not have any special uses (like most weapons) then you can omit this section.

Stats (weapon only)
Use the ItemStats Template to display all stats for the weapon.

Trivia
At the bottom you can have a section dedicated to == Trivia == This can be for any meta information about the item, such as how this item was designed, who designed it, if it has any backstory to why it was created, ect. Any bugs associated with this item can be put here (even if they are old bugs). Most items won't have any triva, or won't be known. In this case just omit this section.

Categories (weapons)
ranged -> weapon -> item magical -> item
 * Ranged/Melee
 * Sword/Bow/Staff/...ect
 * Magical/Physical
 * Legendary - if weapon is a unique drop that can't be obtained any other way

NPCs
A NPC page name can just be named after the npc, for instance, there is a page called "Dave", that is dedicated to the NPC you see on the right. You should never have to worry about conflicting names as each NPC in the game is to have fully unique names.

NPC Infobox Display
When you have a NPC page and want to display stats on it use This will display a page like you see on the right For more information on parameters:

Top of the Page
At the top it's good to describe how to find the NPC. Are there any prerequisites to find the NPC (such as other quests to make them appear). If they are located somewhere hidden and hard to find that is also a good place to put it. You are also free too add a quote by the NPC if you so wish. Example: "It's not a Minecraft clone, guys!"

- Kindred "It's not a Minecraft clone, guys!"

- Kindred

Quests
A lot of NPCs will have 'Quests' associated with them (better described as tasks in SnM, but quests works too). For NPCs that do have quests, create a section called Quests, you can do this by typing == Quests == For each quest, create a sub-section with the quest name by doing === Quest Name === Just put a simple, small description of what needs to be here then add a see template to redirect to the quest:

Relationships
Below quests you should create a section called == Relationships == This can hold different family members, friends, enemies, ect. Some relationships might just be theories, or it could just be hinted at that there is a connection. You are free to put those here, so long as you explain why it's a theory and where it stems from. If there is no known relationships, you can omit this section.

Trivia
At the bottom you can have a section dedicated to == Trivia == This can be for any meta information about the NPC. Such as how this npc was designed, who designed it, if it has any backstory to why it was created, ect. Any bugs associated with this npc can be put here (even if they are old bugs). Most NPCs won't have any triva, or won't be known. In this case just omit this section. All Trivia should use bullet points. use * at the beginning of a line to make bullet points

Bottom of Page
Simply, at the bottom add the appropriate Navbox based on where the npc is located. Example:

Adding to NPC list
Depending on where the NPC is located, you should add the NPC to the list of NPC's associated with that zone. For instance, there is a page called Template:NavboxLocations that is just a list of every NPC on Azura Island. Just copy and past one of the other names on the list, to add more.

Quests
Quests are very lenient and a lot of the content inside them can be interrated based on the specifics of the quest.

Top of the Page
At the top of the page all you have to put is the quest description in a questQuote tag:

Location
Below the description you can put a == Location == section. You should simple instructions on how to get the quest here. use at the bottom of this section to indicate any npc who gives the quest. you can also do the same with objects where 'link' is just the relevant page name. Any pre-requisit quests should also be listed and named, along with a tag.

Guide
Create a == Guide == section for instructions on how to complete the quest. The way this is formatted is up to you as each quest is differant. It can be as simple or complicated as it needs to be Feel free to use images and the tag as you wish.

Rewards
Create a == Rewards == section for a list of quest rewards. This can be a bulleted list with links to each reward, or in some cases, where there are different options, (like in the case of A Reservation at the Inn) you can just add a description. If you recive any quests afterwords

Trivia
At the bottom you can have a section dedicated to == Trivia == This can be for any meta information about the quest. Such as how this quest was designed, who designed it, if it has any backstory to why it was created, ect. Any bugs associated with this npc can be put here (even if they are old bugs). Most quests won't have any triva, or won't be known. In this case just omit this section. All Trivia should use bullet points. use * at the beginning of a line to make bullet points

Bottom of the Page
At the bottom of the page simply add the navbox tag appropriate for the region:

Adding to Quest List
Depending on where the quest is located, you should add the quest to the list of quests associated with that zone. For instance, there is a page called Template:NavboxAzuraIsland_Quests that is just a list of every quest on Azura Island. Just copy and past one of the other names on the list, to add more.
