Making Edits

Trial and error is fine, that's how I started too, just using the "Show preview" button lots. Let me answer your questions:

1. If you find a quest, mob, item, etc that you are sure isn't classic and will never exist on p1999 you can erase that page and replace it with a "Does Not Exist" tag, and a short explanation. An example is here: Phosphorous Powder.

2. If it's something that doesn't exist now but will after Velious is released, you can tag that, for example: Jeldorin.

3. The "DynamicZoneList" is fairly complex part of the wiki I added. In short, putting that label somewhere causes the wiki software to automatically replace it with the three tables of mobs, items, and quests it thinks spawn, drop, or start in that zone. It does this by looking at pages in the zone's Category. For instance here: Category:Halas. If there is something there that doesn't belong, then you should edit that page and fix/remove the Category line at the bottom. Then, it will automatically disappear from the "DynamicZoneList" tables. If something should be added then just add it as normal and it will appear in the tables.

4. To add something, in general, you should first try to use this page: http://www.destinati.com/project1999wiki/wikiUtils.php . Often it produces a page which is complete and ready. Sometimes it fails badly, in which case the best idea is to copy an existing page (that is similar to the one you want to add) and modify it.

Let me know if you have any more questions. --Ravhin 17:38, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
