Finding a place to contribute

if you cant find a way to help in the wikis current state then youre the one who needs help

Here are some tips to help you find articles that need attention:

  • Find pages with a "work in progress" message at the top, and fix the issues highlighted in the message
  • Search for red links in pages, and create the page they link to or point them to the correct page
  • Browse through categories to find pages you think are missing - head to Category:Pâquerette Down the Bunburrows to get started

Style

When contributing to this wiki, remember to follow the English Wikipedia's Manual of Style wherever applicable. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Use simple and straightforward language wherever possible
  • Maintain a neutral, encyclopaedic tone
  • Give each section of pages a unique name without hyperlinks or special formatting
  • Avoid instructional language such as "remember that" and "note that"
  • Avoid using slang and regional language such as "alternate"
  • Avoid misusing words


Additionally:

  • Remember to use diacritics
    "Pâquerette is better than Ophéline"
  • Use ingame terms as opposed to internal terms wherever possible
    "Sunken", not "Aquatic"
  • Refer to such items as "east", "southeast" and "centre" as "locations"
    The location of W-1 is "west"
  • Refer to such items as "purple", "void" and "hell" as "biomes"
    The biome of W-1 is "pink" or "pink bunburrow"
  • Refer to the tiles from which you can ascend to the level above as "ropes"
    "Digging a hole will place a rope on the level below"
  • Refer to the action of moving bunnies as "chasing", and the action of initiating movement as "scaring"
    "Chasing the bunny two tiles to the right"
    "Chase each bunny into the hole"
    "Scare the bunny from the left"
    "Going the long way around in order to avoid scaring the bunny"

Creating articles

Before creating an article

Before creating an article, ensure that it doesn't already exist by searching for it using the search bar in the top right.

  • The page may exist with a different title. If you think that the title is incorrect, consider moving the page to the correct location, or asking a wiki admin to do so. Remember that page titles are case-sensitive!
  • The same information may already be part of another page. If it is, consider editing that page instead. If you think that the information should have its own page, consult a wiki admin before moving it
  • If you reached the page through a red link, the link may simply be pointing to the wrong location
  • If the page was missing from a category, it may just be missing the category link

Consideration

Remember that there are other editors working alongside you, as well as readers trying to learn about the game. Being considerate and well-organised benefits everyone, including yourself!

  • If there are other pages similar to yours, try to keep your page consistent with the other pages' layout and formatting
  • If you haven't completed an article, add the {{Work in progress}} message box with the missing content
  • Avoid leaving placeholders or notes in articles. Use the talk page or one of the message box templates provided instead

Common categories
