Things to Do

This is a list of things you can do to help expand the 8:11 Wiki, as well as how to accomplish those tasks.

((When in doubt of what template or formatting to use, either refer to another page of the same kind, or contact an admin. Incorrectly formatted additions are better than no additions, and can always be cleaned up later! If you are unsure of where information should go, go ahead and add it to where you think best! This is a small community, and every little bit helps, so don't be afraid to edit a page.))

If you want to test your page/formatting without editing the page itself, use Test Page or Test 2 to view how your page/edits look before pasting the source code into the actual page.

## Formatting Standards

Please keep speculation within articles to a minimum! This wiki would like to keep all information as close to game-accurate as possible.

When writing a page, make sure to link to related pages when referring to a person, location, item, tape, etc. the first time that thing comes up in the article. On subsequent referrals, a link is not necessary.

Metatextual information, such as social media posts by Dubuk, need citations. It is important to differentiate information present in the game from information gathered from social media posts.
Example on how to insert a footnote;

Article goes here. Information from social media.  Continued article.

1. ↑ Link to social media post.

## Character Profiles

All character profiles are unfinished at the moment, and in need of expansion. Use your own discretion and add/remove sections as necessary- not all characters need every section, and some need more than others. All characters need an **Appearance, Personality,** and **Relationships** section.

There are also several minor characters without pages.

## Image Galleries

Most image galleries need sorting. This should be done so the images are in chronological order, and so that different scenes are split into different headings/galleries. How to pinpoint when a scene ends and what scenes are named should be done using image names and intuition.

## Items

Most items need a more detailed description of where they are located/how to obtain them, as well as what the items are used for. Some items are used to unlock certain scenes without necessarily being used- so note what is unlocked by having them in the inventory. Also note which playable character obtains said item.

Feel free to add a screenshot/image if it makes it more clear what is being referred to.

If a page exists for the room the item is obtained in, link to that page.

**NOTE: In the Item Box template, an upscaled image is required. In-game item icons are 32x32, but this size of image will not show up as the page icon. Please use a pixel art upscaler to make the images 512x512, or %1600.**

## Places

Most places do not have pages. A page must be created for each area, and ideally for each room in that area.

## Stubs

Looking for something simple? Browse the stubs page and edit a random article.

## Alt Text

No images have alternative text, as of yet. Adding this text will help people who use screen readers or if an image does not load. When adding alt text, please add the description to every usage of the file. To do this, go to the file's page, then to the File Usage tab. From there you can view every page the file is used on, and you can copy+paste the image description into all alt text boxes for all usages of the image.

## Templates

## Where to Find Assets

The assets from 8:11 are very easy to access. All you need to do is go to **8\_11 > www > img**
The files are scattered through the folders in **img**, so you may need to dig.
One note though- Dubuk has stated that none of the music in the game is original, and so this wiki will not be hosting any audio.
