Справка:Руководство

The information here only applies to editing the wiki and was decided upon by other editors. Nothing here was set by SLG.

Welcome to the Eco Wiki Editing Guide!

This guide is an introduction to the structure and style of the Eco Wiki. Before doing extensive edits to the wiki, please read this guide.

Introduction to Wikicode

MediaWiki has plenty of tutorials. Check out https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents for an introduction to WikiCode.

Wiki Community

The Eco Wiki is written and edited by volunteers. The website is hosted and run by Strange Loop Games.

Editor Collaboration

ECO Contribution Wiki Discord - Join Discord for the quickest and most up-to-date response if you have a question about the wiki. This is a place for all people wishing to contribute to the Wiki to be able to discuss and help each other out.
Eco Discord - #wikiediting Channel. Join the Official Eco Discord.
Eco Wiki Editors Trello - This is where editors keep track of plans and tasks for the wiki. Anyone may view the board, but to participate, you must create a Trello account and get access from an admin. Ask for access in the Discord.
Talk pages - For questions and more focused discussions about editing specific pages, users should use that page's "Talk" page. Talk pages can be accessed by the "Discussion" tab in the top left of each page. Don't forget to sign your name with 4 tildes (~~~~) or the signature button.

Eco Wiki Admins

Wiki admins have the power to delete pages, block accounts and IP addresses, protect pages from editing, and more. For issues such as these that require admin attention, please message use on discord: https://discord.gg/ynCVtN5.

Wiki Extensions

Extension:EmbedVideo - is used to embed videos into the wiki.

Wiki Style

Color

The colour palette of the wiki will be changing with 0.9 update, please do not use the greens. A new Image bellow will be made soon - Scott (12/08/2020) Файл:ColorPalette.png

See color table with hex codes at File:ColorPalette.png

The color palette is used for many elements on the wiki. A brown color (same as the Eco inventory background) is used for infobox backgrounds, darkred for infobox headings, and the item "type" background is color-coded.

Third-Person

Write in an impersonal style and don't use pronouns (i.e. no "I", "you", or "he/she"; use "the player" or "players" instead).

However, gameplay advice is strongly encouraged. It makes the wiki more useful for players.

"Eco" vs. "ECO"

The game is called Eco in all references. Don't use "ECO".

Capitalization

All references to specific items should be capitalized. But since many items in Eco have generic names, the reference to an item may be lowercase. Usage depends on if you're using the definite or indefinite article (e.g. "use an axe to cut down trees" vs "use the Stone Axe to cut down trees." or "skill scrolls" vs. "Agriculture Skill Scroll")

Links

Per Wikipedia style, the first inline reference of the article name should be a link, which will make it show up bold.

The first reference of all items, skills, or game concepts should become links. All further references should not be links.

Comments

Comments can only be seen when editing an article. To create a comment, edit source and write your text like this:

<!-- This is a comment -->

Make sure you include the end hyphens and closing tag so the entire article does not become a comment.

Comments should be used for documentation or clarification, not questions or discussions about page content. Use the Talk pages instead for content discussion.
