Adding Game Items

As a wiki might not be the best web vehicle to present game items it is important from time to time to include a game item like crafting recipes and the items they create or even items that address a certain need, to be discussed in a wiki article. With that said feel free to follow the instructions below to add a game item. I've created a template to help make it easy and consistent to add a game item.

1. Creating the game item using the "Item:" prefix as part of the pagename
   • A "Item:" wiki pagename was created specifically for Game Items and Crafting Items to allow the flexibility to do advanced searches only on the items.
   • The easiest method I've found to add a game item is just use the wiki search (not the google search) and type "Item:Game Item Name" in the search box.
2. Using the 'Item Template':
   • Once you created the game item page the next step is to paste the template from the Template:Infobox Item or better yet snag one of the cookie cutters below (might be faster).
   • There are tips on how to fill out the optional template fields.
   • If you don't need a field just leave it blank
3. Adding the item icon
   • This step requires a bit of image editor trickery as you need to crop the 32x32 pixel icon. There's several good image editors out there one that I use is Gimp.
4. Dealing with categories
   • The template will automatically add categories based on the pagename. Certain fields will also add additional categories. These additional categories will be useful if someone wants to search for the items using the wiki categories.
