Quick tips and tricks


Avoid short articles for basic items

Idlescape has hundreds of items, but most are slight variations on another. We don't need a page for every piece of gear in the game.

Instead, create a single page for lists of similar items like equipment, gems, or fish.

More unique items like rare weapons or compost may deserve their own articles.
