== What not to do ==
As a result of the bot generating much of the content on the wiki from the game's source code, please do not manually edit the content generated by it. This will disrupt the automatic version flagging when new versions of the game are released, and can potentially decrease the overall accuracy of information on the wiki and style consistency.


* Check [[Special:WantedPages| Wanted Pages]] to see what pages are missing.
If you wish to add information on pages with generated content, please edit the text above the placement of the template. For example, {{ItemIcon|Crown of Rhaelyx|ext=png}}.
* Check [[:Category:Pages with broken file links]] to see what images are missing.
* Expand [[Special:ShortPages| Short Pages]].
* Check pages with old [[:Category:Versions]] and update them.

=== Versioning ===
=== Versioning ===
We have created a system of templates to mark which pages are up to date. At the top of every page there should be a template for which version the page is written. For example, if a page is written for version 0.15 you would add <nowiki>{{v0.15}}</nowiki> to the top of the page. Each page should have a version attached to it. Every version can be found in the [[:Category:Versions|Versions Category]]. One of the main tasks is to make sure that pages are up to date.
We have created a system of templates to mark which pages are up to date. At the top of every page there should be a template indicating for which version the page is written. This will look like either {{T|V}} or {{T|V|0.18.0}}.
* If a page is entirely populated by either the [[bot]] or Lua-powered templates, then simply add {{T|V}} to the top of the page.
* If a page contains a decent amount of user-written text that has the potential to change with each version, then the version number should be specified. For example, if a page is written for version 0.18.0 you would add {{T|V|0.18.0}} to the top of the page.
Each page should have a version attached to it. Every version can be found in the [[:Category:Versions|Versions Category]]. One of the main tasks is to make sure that pages are up to date.
