	* ~~Look~~ at [[Special:WantedPages]] ~~to see if you~~ can ~~start~~ on ~~any of~~ the ~~pages~~. ~~And Be sure that it~~ is not ~~just~~ a misspelled word~~! Red links~~ on a '~~normal~~' wiki are ~~usually an indicator~~ that ~~something is missing~~. If ~~that page is relevant~~ and you ~~can expand on that~~ page~~, please do so.~~		* The Project Gorgon wiki automatically generates a list of pages it believes to be "wanted" at [[Special:WantedPages]]. While this list can be helpful at identifying actually missing pages, the inclusion of something on this list does not guarantee that a page is necessary.
			:*Items are added to the Wanted Pages list when a broken link is created on another content page. Sometimes the link is created from a misspelled word! If so, fix the spelling mistake and do not create a page for the misspelled word.
			:*Intentionally deleted categories can sometimes appear on this list. As an example, the Wanted Pages list includes '''Category:Halloween 2017''' as a Wanted Page. This is a category which once existed on the wiki but was consolidated into a different category years ago. It still appears on the Wanted Pages list because of how the wiki system processes subcategories.
			:*If you believe a page or pages included on the Wanted Pages list should actually be created, please create it if you are able to submit the proper content for that page. If a Quest appears on the Wanted Pages list and you are not proficient at adding quest pages, it would be better to leave the page in the list than to create a half-correct page!

	==First Steps==		==First Steps==
			1. After you create your account and login for the first time, setup your personal '''User''' and ''' User talk''' pages. Click on your username and "Talk" in the upper right corner (desktop view) to create those pages. Even if you leave them blank, their existence makes it easier for other users to contact you with questions or to request collaboration on a larger project.

	~~Setup your personal~~ and talk pages~~, when you first log in, you will see your username~~ and 'Talk' in the ~~upper right corner click those~~ to ~~create your~~ pages~~. Even if they~~ are ~~blank~~, ~~this makes it easier for others to contact you~~. It also ~~allows~~ for ~~easy collaboration when working~~ on ~~large projects~~.		2. Please briefly read [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Talk_pages#Editing_conventions_on_talk_pages MediaWiki Help on Talk Pages]. '''Signatures, indents, and topics''' (headings) on '''User talk''' pages and '''Talk pages''' make it easier to see the flow of discussion and allows future editors who want to get up to date on the history of an article to quickly do so.
			* Consider '''watching''' talk pages (click the star) which you are participating in, as they will be highlighted in the [[Special:RecentChanges]]. You can also change your '''Preferences''' if you want to receive alternative notifications for watched pages.
			* Most users will want to place their personal '''User talk''' and '''User''' pages on their watchlist.

	~~Please have a brief read~~ of ~~[http://www.mediawiki~~.~~org/~~wiki~~/Help:Talk_pages#Editing_conventions_on_talk_pages MediaWiki Help on Talk Pages].~~ '''~~Signatures, indents, and topics~~''' ~~(headings) in Talk Pages make it easier to see how the discussion is going and who has last replied, not just for the person~~ you ~~respond~~ to, ~~but any future editors who want to get up to date~~ on the ~~history of an article~~.		3. Next, it will be helpful to familiarize yourself with some of the information to the right. This wiki uses the '''MediaWiki''' platform. If you are new to MediaWiki, some Help articles can be found on the sidebar.

	~~Consider~~ '''~~watching~~''' ~~talk~~ pages ~~(click the star) which you~~ are ~~participating in~~, ~~as they will be highlighted in~~ the ~~[[Special:RecentChanges]]~~.		4. When creating pages, we would like to maintain some semblance between similar pages. You can check out the [[Project Gorgon Wiki:Formatting\|formatting guidelines]] page for some advice. This page may be outdated, however a '''Article guide pages''' section contains a list of very useful templates that most new pages are built to follow. The best method is to find a similar page, and check the formatting of that page and the template the page is based on.

	~~Next, it will be helpful~~ to ~~familiarize yourself~~ with ~~some of the information to the right~~. ~~This wiki uses the~~ '''~~MediaWiki~~''' ~~platform. If you are new to MediaWiki, some Help articles can be found on the sidebar. You can edit the wiki if you~~ are ~~logged into forum account. Please click that, and create a page about yourself, and a Talk Page so that people may leave you messages~~.		5. You may want to join a [[Discord]] server to communicate with other Gorgon wiki editors.
			* Wiki-themed channels can be found in both '''Project: Gorgon (Official)''' and '''The Gorgon's Head Discord'''
			* Large group editing projects are usually organized through Discord.

	~~When creating pages~~, ~~we would like~~ to ~~maintain some semblance between similar pages~~. You can ~~check out~~ the ~~[[Project Gorgon Wiki:Formatting\|formatting guidelines]] page~~, ~~although partially outdated~~. ~~The~~ best ~~method is~~ to ~~find~~ a ~~similar page~~, ~~and see~~ the ~~formatting~~ of that ~~page~~.		5. Finally, pick something to add. You can choose from one of the general categories below, or focus on contributing to anything that you would like to work on.
			* If you intend to make change that will impact many pages (rewriting a template, changing the layout of something), it is best to check with an experienced editor first!
			* Occasionally a new user will start a project, such as rewriting the ''Locations'' section of the ''Creature Template'', before realizing part of the way through that they have over 900 pages to manually change. In this situation, the user should have asked for help completing the project. Many experienced editors are willing to help!

	== Spoilers ==		== Spoilers ==
	If the information ~~exists, this Wiki~~ should ~~record it somewhere~~. ~~Now,~~ Project Gorgon is exploration based, so some spoilers might damage potential discoveries players might make. In general, record everything, but if the topic spoils a riddle, puzzle, or is something extremely hidden, it is best to spoiler tag it. Some parts of the wiki, such as Lore related pages, contain spoilers, but do not need to be marked as such. Zones, Dungeon pages, Hidden Skill mechanics, and NPCs that have major reveals should use spoilers.		Although the Project Gorgon Wiki generally displays a large '''A Note About SPOILERS !''' on the homepage warning users they may find unmarked spoilers, we do use a spoiler system. For the most part, if you are typing up a particular type of page, refer to the template for that type of content to see what goes into a spoiler. (NPCs, Dungeons, Skills, Abilities). Many spoiler tags are also used to collapse large lists.

			Outside of existing template-defined styles, is hard to provide a Yes/No list for what should or should not go in a spoiler. The location of a dungeon should not be a spoiler. If the dungeon requires a very specific method to access, that information should probably be placed in a spoiler! The [[Dark Chapel]] in Eltibule is a good example. The existence of the dungeon is not a spoiler. The puzzle-based method to access the dungeon is a spoiler. Project Gorgon is exploration based, so some spoilers might damage potential discoveries players might make. In general, record everything, but if the topic spoils a riddle, puzzle, or is something extremely hidden, it is best to spoiler tag it.

	~~; Missing~~ Images		* Content: The Reported Loot sections need additional information gathered from in-game!
	~~: It would be great to get nice clear images of most~~ creatures ~~and NPCs. It would be preferable that these screenshots be taken on the highest level of graphics.
