This page is a resource and reference for users editing this wiki, and especially creating pages or uploading files.

Image Standardization

  • All filenames with spaces or hyphens in them should parse them as underscores.
  • Chroma images should follow the filename template of Color.png. For example, has the filename of Blue.png.
  • Creature images should follow the filename template of Creature_Stage.png if Baby or Juvenile, and Creature_Stage_Color.png if Adult. Examples:
    • -> Knutte_Baby.png
    • -> Knutte_Juvenile.png
    • -> Knutte_Adult_Blue.png'
    • Replace "Juvenile" or "Adult" with "Male" or "Female" if that stage is dimorphic.
  • All item images should follow the filename template of Item_Name.png.
  • NPC images should just be named after the NPC and follow the template of Name.png.
    • In the event of an NPC having multiple images, feel free to append words like "full" for fullbodies, "portrait" for headshots, etc.

Creature Pages

  • All creature pages should follow the example template set by Knutte.

Delve Pages

Sector Pages

NPC Pages

  • All NPC pages should follow the example template set by Chanti Faust.

Mechanical Pages

  • Pages which describe the game's core mechanics and systems. There is no set template for these; organize them however makes sense.

Templates

  • All infoboxes should roughly follow the style and aesthetic of Template:Infobox Creature. Ask a wiki admin for help if you need it.
  • All notice templates should follow the code of Template:Spoiler, replacing only the image and text.

Categories

  • All of a page's categories should be listed alphabetically at the bottom of the page.
    • Template:WIP automatically adds Category:WIP Pages to a page it is placed on, and it will appear before the other categories.
  • The following qualities of creatures should be categorized:
    • Always add Category:Creatures.
    • If the creature was released in the relevant time period, add Category:Alpha Releases or Category:Beta Releases.
      • Alpha is defined as the period of time where only Wymsical was registered on the site, before beta testing started. This was before December 31, 2019.
      • Beta is defined as the period of time in which the closed beta took place. This was between January 1, 2020 to February 13, 2021.
    • Add any categories matching the Rarity, Sector, Grouping, and Delves relevant to the creature. Do not pluralize the category name (eg use Category:Common instead of Category:Commons).
    • Add a category for the creature's artist.
  • NPC pages should have Category:NPCs. If they are members of the IA, they should have Category:Intergalactic Alliance. Categories for the general areas they can be found in should be included, such as Category:Headquarters. Include their artist category.
  • Sector pages should have Category:Sectors, Category:Locations, and their Sector category.
    • Subsector pages should match their parent Sector, replacing the foremost category with Category:Subsectors.
  • Delve pages should have Category:Delves, and either Category:Regular Delves or Category:Limited Run Delves depending on its type. Category:Locations should be included, as well as a category for their Sector.
  • Non-sector location pages should have Category:Locations and, if applicable, a category for their general area such as Headquarters.
  • Mechanical pages should have Category:Mechanics.
  • Pages relating to the wiki more than to Protochroma should have Category:Meta.
  • Pages acting as a user reference or directory should have Category:Reference.
  • All pages containing a template that can be called in another page (such as Template:Infobox Creature) should have Category:Templates.
