Contributing

This Contributing page is here to explain how you can help the community of this Wiki grow and help the gathering of information and content about all Stardust Labs projects. There are different ways to achieve that, the main one being learning how to create or edit pages.

Basics
To do so, in the upper right corner of almost all the Wiki pages, you should see a "Create" or "Edit" button, depending on if the page is created or not. When clicking this, you will go into Visual edit mode. Different tools are available and will be showcased to you. A more advanced mode, Source editing, can also be accessed, but it is not recommended for new users or people with no coding knowledge.

If you want to create an article, take a look at the other articles in that category, look at how they are formatted. For example, most articles should start by re-adding the Title of the page in bold and describing it, the reason why this articles exist; Like this page is doing. You should also link pages related to the page you are creating, even if the pages are not created or if it's from another site like Wikipedia.

Templates
To help you when creating a page and to keep the Wiki formatted, Templates are available. To find them, click on "Insert", then "Template" and search for the Template for the type of page you're creating. For example, if you create a page for a biome, look for the "Biome" template, then follow the instructions inside that template.

Small tip, in the Visual editor writing "{{" will open the Template window.

Biome
Helps you create an infobox with most technical information about a biome.

Structure
Helps you create an infobox with most technical information about a structure.

Entity

Link to Mc Wiki

Uploading files
Adding content to the Wiki is also of great help, to do so, when editing a page, go in "Source editing mode", once in that mode, a small window will appear where you can drag the files you want to upload, once all the files are listed, you can, if you want, rename them, before clicking the "Upload all files" button which will upload your screenshots in the Wiki gallery. This can take time, but once uploaded, those files will be available to be added to any gallery for a biome, structure, item, or mob, no need to create a page! So do not hesitate to upload all the screens you have, the only conditions are that it must be about one of the official Stardust Labs projects, unmodified, and that you have F1 turned on.

To add those pictures to a new or existing gallery, create or click to edit one, then click on "+ Add new image". This will open a window showing your uploaded pictures, you can also search for pictures posted by other users of the Wiki. Once that is done, make sure in the options that the gallery is set as a slideshow, and you can click done!

Redirects
Redirects are a type of page made to have multiple wordings of a page title lead to the same page, like the plural of an existing page. Forbidden castles for example, is a redirect page, plural of the Forbidden castle page, where it leads you.

To make a page a redirect page, create one in Source editing and add " #REDIRECT Page Name " or simply click the Redirect button
