== How to Edit The Wiki ==
'''Starting out? Read these first!'''

:*Our formatting page here on the wiki: '''[[BGWiki:Formatting]]'''

:*The very basics of Wiki editing and general 'philosophy': [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Editing_pages Mediawiki: Editing]

:*Working with text and images, start out here: [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext_examples Mediawiki: Wikitext Examples]

:*More advanced editing and 'coding' wuuu: [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Advanced_editing Mediawiki: Advanced Editing]

:*List of all wiki shortcuts, pretty useful for when you need to do something over and over and over!: [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Pre-save_transform Mediawiki: Editing Shortcuts]

:*Trying to figure out something else out? This goes from beginners to the most hardcore of what a wiki editor can do. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents Wikimedia:Help Contents]

'''How to Upload Images'''
*Please note that we are storing these. Therefore, try to keep any unrelated images to a minimum.

#Type the name of the image like so: <nowiki>[[File:<image name>.extention]]</nowiki>, for example <nowiki>[[File:Danny Trejo.jpg]]</nowiki>
#This will create a red link if it does not already exist on the wiki. Then, click preview and then right click said link and open it in a new tab.
#Now you are free to upload your image and submit the edit.

:*For more information on the formatting of images see [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images ''This Page''].

'''Need to make a template?'''

:*We suggest contacting a BGWiki admin so they know why and what for etc but feel free to make one, and then putting it in your /Sandbox (just type /Sandbox at the end of the URL of your user page to create this new page), then submitting it for approval.

:*For using an existing template as a resource, refrence the BG: [[:Category:Templates]].

:*Creating and editing templates/style guides: [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing_tips_and_tricks Wikimedia:Editing Tips and Tricks]

:*More advanced templates: [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Advanced_templates Wikimedia:Advanced Templates]

:*The difference between style guide and templates are as follows -

:::Style guides makes it so you need to go into the actual coding of the page and look at all the pretty squigglies... like so: [[Template:Weapon]]

:::Advanced templates make it so that you enter only the 'content' of each field, without looking at the squiggly codings.

'''A Wiki Expert? Read these to broaden your horizons!'''

:*User parser functions in advanced templates: [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ParserFunctions Wikimedia:ParserFunctions]

:*Creating a custom user signature to sign comments in discussion pages: [[BGWiki:User Signatures]]

:*Creating snazzy tabs on your userpage: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial/Header Wikipedia:Tutorial/Header]

== What to Contribute ==
Looking for areas of the Wiki that needs work? We have created several categories to host pages that need to be worked on.
* '''[[:BGWIKI:Projects|BG Wiki's List of Projects]]''' - This page is updated with items that need attention. Check regularly for new projects that have been found which need attention.
* '''[[:Category:Stubs|Stubs]]''' - This section lists every page that still needs more information or are just placeholder pages.
* '''[[:Category:Item Info|Need Item Info]]''' - Items are automatically added to this category, and the ''<nowiki>{{Item Info}}</nowiki>'' tag should be removed once obtainment info is added for the item. Please use the appropriate templates when adding item obtainment information, based on the method of obtainment (more than one template can be used on items that have more than one method of obtainment):
**[[Template:Item Instance Table]]
**[[Template:Item Monster Table 2]]
**[[Template:Fishing Table 2]]
**[[Template:Item NPC Table]]
**[[Template:Item Synth Table]]
**[[Template:Item Synergy Table]]
**[[Template:Item Desynth Table]]
* '''[[:Category:Needs Formatting|Needs Formatting]]''' - This lists all for pages marked in need of proper formatting. For proper BGWIki formatting styles please check [[BGWiki:Formatting]].
* '''[[Special:Wantedpages|Wanted Pages]]''' - This section lists every 'linked' to term that do not yet have actual pages. Some may not be legit terms, so double check which pages are linking to a term and make sure its the correct spelling, that another page does not already exist for this term but named differently or if its just a test link, like this one: "{{Color|red|style=normal|Place Name of Drop Here}} ‎({{Color|blue|style=normal|53 links}})"
* '''[[Special:Uncategorizedpages|Uncategorized Pages]]''' - Occasionally, some pages will be lost in the shuffle and not be categorized correctly or any at all. Checking this page will ensure that all loose pages fit in somewhere on the site. If unsure of where a page belongs, leave it in there or make a 'discussion' entry to call an admin's attention to it.
* '''[[Special:DeadendPages|Dead-end Pages]]''' - These pages link to nothing else, but if they're in the wiki they probably should; try checking the corresponding "What links here" link under the "Tools" menu in the sidebar for some possibilities, but more often than not it can be just a metter of seeing if terms in the page itself have corresponding articles, and adding tags to the appropriate parts of the text.
* '''[[Special:LonelyPages|Orphaned Pages]]''' - Nothing links to these pages, but if they're in the wiki something probably should - check the links in the page itself for clues of other pages that might reference these but aren't linking to them yet, and add the link there if appropriate (at times it may be a matter of problems with a template).
* '''[[:Category:Need Image|Need Image]]s''' - Every page on here will need an in game image taken and uploaded. All images should be named after the page for which it's made, and if there are multiple images, name the extras by numbers or purpose. Remove the ''<nowiki>{{Need Image}}</nowiki>'' tag from the page when done.
:* '''[[:Category:Needs Appearance Image|Needs Appearance Image]]''' - More specifically furnishings and other in game items that need an image. See [[Bonfire]] for an example.
* '''[[:Category:Item Image|Item Image]]s''' - Just like the above for items. Remove the ''<nowiki>{{Need Image}}</nowiki>'' tag from the page when uploaded.

It may also be worth looking into the game's own update history for specific changes that may not yet be applied to the relevant pages - see the wiki's [[:Category:Update History|update history]] for references to officially-revealed changes for specific values and issues the wiki may not be covering yet - or for even more official and older reference material, [http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/17021?_ga=1.249018951.1350165559.1457359215 FFXI's own update history at the official forums].
