    Threshold Wiki

    Threshold RPG has a wiki!

    What is a wiki?
    A wiki is a community-edited website that acts as an information source for existing, new, and prospective players. That's right, community-edited. This means that you are free to contribute to the wiki, in fact you are invited to participate in the wiki. We only ask that you create a wiki account with the name of one of your characters so we know who's making edits.

    What else do you ask?
    OK, you got me, obviously there are going to be some guidelines, but they're not horrifically strict. Basically, use your better judgment when editing the wiki, like if it's intended to be secret in the game, you probably shouldn't put it on the wiki. This does still leave, however, a mountain of information that can be brought into the wiki!

    On the previous wiki we were allowed character pages. Can we have character pages here?
    You sure can. I've created a basic one for Karahd that you can look at to see how I made it, here: https://threshold.gamepedia.com/Karahd

    On the previous wiki we were allowed clan pages. Can we have clan pages here?
    Of course! If you're a member of a clan and you want your page up, go right ahead! You can see the clan page for Karahd's clan here to see how it's setup https://threshold.gamepedia.com/The_...nsortium_(3FC)

    What's the address of the wiki!!!
    You can reach the wiki website, here: https://threshold.gamepedia.com/ or http://wiki.thresholdrpg.com/

    Top Tips
    • Read the guide: https://threshold.gamepedia.com/Guide:Wiki
    • Use the search bar liberally to find existing information or to figure out if a new entry needs to be made.
    • Join the wiki channel in game to ask questions or to help out your fellow editors.
    • Use the Contribute Now! and the Needs Work! links on the left menu if you're stuck for something to work on.
    • Have fun and if you are in doubt, you can always ask on wiki or email me at bworkman@frogdice.com.

    Final Thoughts
    Don't be shy. I get a notification for every change on the wiki. Go ahead and make changes or add new information/pages. I will go in later and look to see what's been done and I will probably make some edits. If you're interested you can click the blue star at the top of the page and you'll get notified of any changes to that page, too. This means if (and most likely) I make edits to it, you can see what I've done. Or you can go to Recent Changes on the left to see pages that have had updates to them and see the differences. Ask on the wiki channel or send me an email!

    I wanna love you but I better not touch
    I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop
    I wanna kiss you but I want it too much
    I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison

    Woot!
    Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my Uncle Jack off a horse." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse."

    There is never a good time for lazy writing!

    Bump! Still looking to get more information on the wiki. This is for everybody, including yourself. If you're not using the wiki, it's a good starting point as it has some good information in it.

    The three most important parts of the site when you're looking for inspiration on what to add to the wiki are the three highlighted entries in this screenshot: important_links.png

    Recent changes
    This page shows you all the recent changes that have been made to the wiki. New pages, edits, etc, can be accessed through here. It's nice to see what has been done lately on the wiki.

    Contribute Now!
    On the wiki, you can create links to pages that don't exist. If you typed [[portable hole]] in a page, it'll create a link to a page called Portable hole. If this page doesn't exist, that link will be red. This special page "Contribute Now!" shows you, in order of quantity, the pages that have been referenced but that don't exist. You can click the red link to be brought to the referenced page to allow you to create it.

    Needs Work!
    Sometimes there are very basic pages that hold very little information but are at best placeholders, knowing further information is to come at a late timer. They've been tagged with the {{stub}} template and by this tagging are now included in this special page. You can go ahead and edit those pages if you have more information you'd like to contribute. If there ends up being about as much information as is legitimate, you can remove the {{stub}} tag or leave it for later review and an admin can remove it.

    I hope some of this helps!

    Bumping this thread. Come and help contribute if you have time! This could be such a fantastic resource for everyone, and I know there have been threads elsewhere in these forums in past where people have wanted to see things like all of the help files accessible somewhere outside of the actual game itself. This is that source, and so much more.

    Take a sec off while you're borging/between emotes/whatever, make an account with your character name, and put up a small help file.

    Please, and thanks
