The objective of this page is to improve the quality of Wiki pages by providing a list of suggested guidelines. Keep in mind that these are only suggestions, and not stricts rules.

If you have an idea for this list, please drop it in the Discussions tab above. This list will likely change as the Wiki project evolves, so check back from time to time.

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.



Wiki Extensions

If you feel like a feature or an extension is missing, please let us know.

External Images

The tag can be inserted into wikitext.

Usage

< img src="" alt="" height="" width="">

Polls

The AJAXPoll extension allows one or more AJAX-based polls on MediaWiki pages with poll tag.

Usage

< poll>
Question
Choice 1
Choice 2
Choice 3
Choice 4
</ poll>

GoogleDocs

The GoogleDocs4MW extension embeds Google Docs' spreadsheets into the wiki.

Usage

< googlespreadsheet width="500" height="300" style="width: 50%"> Google Docs key goes here </ googlespreadsheet>

Note: To actually embed a spreadsheet, the spreadsheet needs to be published with Google's File > Publish to Web... option. It is not sufficient to just have a shareable link
