Wiki needs updating!

Infoboxes are, in fact, templates themselves called infobox and included as a default template.

I'll either try to fix the current infobox template, either create my own and use it, depending on which looks better.

You Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar! Nice to have an expert on the case!

Ok, understood the way it's used on this wiki.

If you ever want to change the infos in the infobox, go to the item's page itself, not where it is used.

Example :
You want to change T9 blablabla infos there ? http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Single_shot

Then you go there : http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/T9_Incendiary_Launcher/en
(Don't forget the /en, as it's the /en translation that's used on the main wiki)

You can just write the name next to the wiki/, the browser will find the correct page itself then go to the /en by adding /en at the end.

As a current lead wiki moderator for another company using mediawiki too, I'll be helping on this one as much as I can (which is ... Pretty much anything).

I'll also create some templates pages and explanations on how to use them to make the pages look better and easier to edit/add/remove.

The wiki also really needs new info boxes for the weapons if that's something you know how to do, as the current ones use the old stat system for the guns. I tried messing with them but I couldn't get it to work the way I wanted. Whenever I changed a value or a Stat name it just disappeared? Thanks a ton for the help!

Edit :

Guess you want them to look like this ?

For the thumbnail failure, I'll check what's wrong and either fix or PM Tynan on how to fix it.

Yeah the look is fine, but we just need the new stats in there like warm up time, cool down time, the 4 different accuracy percentages at range.  The overview page http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Weapons has the correct stat groups for example. My problem basically was that I couldn't add new columns to the info box to cover the new stats guns have, I could alter it's current stats inside the current parameters. IE. I could change its Accuracy score from 5 to 7 for example but I couldn't rename Accuracy to something else or add a new column for warm up time or cool down time.

I thought the list was pretty clear but really anything that is missing/wrong is being edited. I'm just making a list of the things I see/come across for my own personal sanity (I can't stand forgetting things). Feel free to make your own list or just go find things and fix them!

Whoa, look at all that recent activity! Now I feel bad for promising to help and not doing anything yet

Random tip for finding work needed on the wiki: the special pages page. For example WantedPages lists all the pages that there are links to, but the page is blank.

[Fernbhoy]

oh i'm not on about your list, i'm on about the wiki itself

i tried to add Deer to the animals list and had no idea where to start

Oh lol, well I don't really know much about wiki's myself either, we shall have to learn as we go and do what we can!

IE. I could change its Accuracy score from 5 to 7 for example but I couldn't rename Accuracy to something else or add a new column for warm up time or cool down time.

Tried to add new columns too by adding it the way it should work, but somehow, it's protected or not using the same template ... I'll look further into this, as it's totally pretty weird.

Guess creating my own template out of that one would go faster, too.

Awesome tip, that'll make finding missing articles a lot easier!

Glad I'm not the only one it gave a hard time to lol. I mean I don't know jack about editing wiki's but I consider myself a fairly smart guy most days so not being able to figure out those info boxes were peeving me right the fluff off lol. Yeah, you might be right about that... It's so borked I'm beginning to think most of it may just need to be re done.

started redoing the animal table, need to find out how you get the stats (if anyone knows you'll save me a headache)

I'll take a look at animal tables too. Was concentrated on that weapon issue.

No rush man, appreciate all the work (I'm sure Tynan and all the RimWorld users do to). Enjoy the holiday!

Right done a quick update to the Animals table (it's a bit easier to understand now to for future edits, need to figure out how to find some of the stats that aren't shown in game though
