Stoneshard wiki is a community project run entirely by volunteers to provide information for the game.
Our community of editors is open to anyone. If you would like to join in:
- While you can edit anonymously, Registering a free account makes it easier to keep track of your own edits.
- Check out the gamepedia wiki manual if you're new to Wiki editing.
- See a list of recent changes.
- Jump right in and start editing. You can start small by fixing spelling, grammar, and other errors you come across. Stubs are pages already exist and only need expanding. Finally, Wanted Pages are pages that do not exist yet, but some other page links to them, so they should be created or the page that links to them should be changed.
Alternatively, just type a new article name in the search box. A link will be provided to start the article at the top of the search results.
- <inputbox>
type= create width= 40 </inputbox>
Helpful things you can do:
- Before uploading new images, check out the respective Category:Images or Special:UncategorizedFiles. Chances are that someone has already uploaded the same picture.
- When Uploading images, name the image file based on the image.
For example, an image of Bread 
, should be named "Bread.png". When uploading image of an item's description, name it "<itemname> description.png", etc.
- Categorize new images and new pages. Simply add [[Category:<category name>]] at the very end of the page.
For example, when I upload a new weapon image, it belongs to [[Category:Weapon images]]. A page about a new NPC would belong to [[Category:NPCs]], etc. Check the [Category tree] for a complete list of categories.
