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.
  • Edit and expand pages marked as Stubs. These are pages we have already created that need more information.
  • Check out the Wanted Pages. These are pages that don't exist yet, but some other page links to them. You can see how many pages link to a given page name. Pages with many links are the ones that should be created first. Pages with only a single link could be wanted pages too, but they could also be a typo and only need to repair the link.


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.


Helpful things you can do

Images and Files

For example, an image of Bread Bread.png, should be named "Bread.png". When uploading image of an item's description, name it "<itemname> description.png", etc.
We use strict File naming scheme, because our Templates rely on using names identical to pagenames. More on that in the #Advanced stuff section.


Categories

  • 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.


Advanced stuff

Colors and Templates

We adhere to the ingame color palette and use the {{Color}} template (shortcut: {{C}}) to colorize texts on the wiki.

Data Structures

To display the different properties of Items, Conditions and other things, we use data structures placed on the respective subject's pages.

  • The data is written inside of <includeonly></includeonly> statements to make it hidden from the page itself.
  • The data is written as parameters of a single #Switch ParserFunction (see Help:Extension:ParserFunctions for more info) to allow different Templates to call for different pieces of data.


Please refer to the documentation of these templates for usage and examples:


Additionally, Containers also use the data structure, but there isn't a special template that uses them. Instead, we call them up on specific item pages to fill up the "Acquired From" section.

Container
<includeonly>{{#switch: {{{1}}}
|Loot = Plague Doctor Mask, Brynn Vermouth, Mannshire Fortified, Brandy, Lockpicks, Repair Kit, Crowbar, Surgeon's Kit, Horsetail, etc...
|Treatise = Sword Treatise I, Sword Treatise II, Sword Treatise III, Axe Treatise I, Axe Treatise II, Axe Treatise III, Mace Treatise I, etc...
|#default = 
}}</includeonly>

Finally, templates for Skills and Treatises currently don't use these data structures, so the Skill/Treatise pages store their data in the /Tooltip pages instead. The goal is to change them in the future to also use the data structures, like the rest.

Tooltips

When creating a specific item or skill page, most wikis display an infobox on the right side to show the most relevant information about an item or skill. Our wiki simply shows the tooltips of said item or skill.

  1. Follow the instructions on Template:Tooltip_hover_box to create a Tooltip page.
  2. Add this code into the item/skill page. This will automatically display whatever is written in the page's tooltip page and place it to the right side of the screen.
<div style="float: right">{{:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}/Tooltip}}</div>


ImageMaps

Using the ImageMap extension, you can create images that link to multiple different pages, as opposed to the default single link for the whole image. Usage:

  • Image comes in the same format as default wiki images, but without the enclosing [[ ]] brackets.
  • The link positions are selected by entering parameters. These parameters translate into X and Y values of certain points of the image:
    • X position is calculated as distance in pixels from the left edge of the image.
    • Y position is calculated as distance in pixels from the top edge of the image.
    • Important: The positions are calculated from the full size image, not from the size of the image displayed on a wiki page.
  • Finally, the amount of parameters required changes depending on the shape used:
    • default - gives the default link, ie. a single link for the whole image.
    • circle - gives a circular area, requires 3 parameters: first and second are X and Y coordinates of the center, and third is the radius.
    • rect - gives a rectangular area, requires 4 parameters: first and second are X and Y coordinates of top-left corner, third and fourth are X and Y coordinates of the bottom-right corner.
    • poly - gives a polygon, any amount of parameters can be provided.
    • desc - adds a blue "i" icon to the image. Possible values: top-right, bottom-right (default), bottom-left, top-left, none. Doesn't work if image uses frame and thumb parameters.
  • Example param usage:
default [[Blade Maintenance]]
circle 50 50 10 [[Blade Maintenance]]
rect 50 50 150 150 [[Blade Maintenance]]
poly 10 10 20 10 20 20 30 20 30 30 10 30 [[Blade Maintenance]]
desc none

Using the Swords_skilltree.png image, we will make the first two top icons into links. This code:

<imagemap>
File:Swords_skilltree.png|338px|Swords skill tree
rect 382 176 558 352 [[Cleaving Strike]]
rect 108 176 284 352 [[Blade Maintenance]]
desc top-right
</imagemap>

Produces this result: <imagemap> File:Swords_skilltree.png|338px|Swords skill tree rect 382 176 558 352 Cleaving Strike rect 108 176 284 352 Blade Maintenance desc top-right </imagemap>

Wiki Translation

Stoneshard Wiki is primarily available in English. However, we do support translating the wiki to other languages. If you are willing to translate the wiki to another language, you should let the admins know. Translating a whole wiki is no easy task, so be prepared that it will take you some time.


Translating pages with text

You should start with the links you can see on the main page. Create a new page of the same name, but with a subpage for your language. For example, if you wanted to translate the page Factions to Czech language, you would create Factions/cz and translate all the text on that page.

If the page uses any Templates or other wikitext, don't translate those. Admins will tell you more about that after they prepare the templates for your language.
