Going to make this short and sweet. As version 2.3.8 of Twilight Forest is dawning, editing on this wiki is necessary. Well... that's no longer true, because 3.0.0 is out (boi).

As some existing pages have no details or need editing, I will search each page and fix those details.

Guess what? I have too much power, so I'll reskin this whole wiki in the time to come. Try to not use too much colour. If it is needed, I'll probably change it

While you are here, why don't you join the Twilight Forest Discord? We have dev builds so you can play an updated version of the mod early. I'm not a moderator Well, I might be, but I don't control the server. As a matter of fact, direct any Wiki questions to me, either on Discord or my Discussion page above, since it is my assigned role. Ok, things happened a little bit too quickly and I never updated this. Yes, I am, in fact, one of the developers of the mod, but my department lies quite substantially with the wiki. If you have any particular issue, I am the final say (unless Benimatic has something to say. I don't own this mod), so in the event of a conflict of interest, seek my consultation and I can see to a resolution.

To Do List

• Many new blocks and items are added to the game each update. Sometimes a few, sometimes a lot, and sometimes there are no new things. Create pages *with information*.
• Many changes are made to existing features, some subtle, others greater. Take a look at what changes there are, and make sure to document with a History table.
• (Self) After the Mediawiki version was updated, the CSS in places became mismatched. This should be fixed.

How to Contribute

This quick guide shall show how pages are met to standards (that may or may not exist)

Creating a Page

There are templates that serve as Infoboxes. Depending on the page, you will need:

• Template:Block
• Template:Item
• Template:Food (only useful for food items)
• Template:Structure
• Template:Mob

The usage guide fore each template is included briefly. Delete the line to default it.

Sometimes a page will need several infoboxes. If that is the case, use Template:- to do a full page break. Use sparingly.

Next, the page will need some information. Be concise, but don't keep it too short. Try to detail as much as you can that exists with the page. If you are uncertain, try talking with the community to fill out any gaps. Some information that can be filled out include crafting recipes, functions, and gallery images to display a feature's full function. Do remember: while this is a wiki, we do encourage exploration; try to let players find out some of these features.

Once done, a History table will need to be made. This is the hardest part of page creation, as existing features get updated, but also if the page was created many versions after a feature's introduction, it may be a long list of changes throughout time. To create a History table, check out Template:History.

Lastly, the page needs a Navigation Pane. This will depend on what the page is about:

• Template:BlockNavigation
• Template:ItemNavigation (useful for Food, since they are items)
• Template:Locations (useful for biomes too, but they don't have an infobox)
• Template:MobNavigation

That's the basic setup for each page.

Short Page/Missing Images

Tag it with Template:Stub for pages that are missing images, needs more info, or everything in general. Do not include Missing Infobox Images

No Infobox Images

Tag it with Template:? to indicate the missing image in the Infobox. Another contributor will come along and fix later.

WIP

These pages must be tagged with Template:NYI. These pages may be subject to change, deletion or moving. If it is removed from WIP stage, tag it with Stub if incomplete, Delete if it is removed, or move the page to a new title.

Misspelt Title/Different Name

Move the page to the appropriate title. This will redirect the old title link to the new one.

Unrelated to Twilight Forest

Tag it with Delete. Along with this, orphan the page (remove all links) so that it's difficult to access.
