Contributor's Guide/Item Edits

Note: "item table page" refers to larger item category pages such as Head Armor and Thrown Weapons.

## New Items

* Make a new item page.
* Copy the item template from another item page, and fill in the correct info as needed. Remember to include the correct item categories at the bottom of the page.
* Upload an image of the item (from the in-game index). By convention, item images are named "ITEMNAME 2.png" (or .jpg if it's a .jpg file). If the item can be crafted, make/upload a recipe image for the item. Screenshots should be taken with full-screen on PC, and the image width should be adjusted to 1000px.
* Add the item to its corresponding item table page.
* If the item spawns in any areas (in the Seoul map or in the Lumia map), edit the tables in the corresponding Area pages.
* If the item has a special effect, add it to Item Effects.

## Item Changes

* Image changed: Update the image by going to the image file page, then click "upload a new version of this file"
	+ Some item images have the attack/armor/food value at the bottom of the page (the current in-game images no longer have this info). If the info is still accurate, the picture can be kept. If the value changes, then the image needs to be updated, even if the artwork did not change
* Description changed: Change the description on the item page.
* Name changed: On the item page, click "More" on the top horizontal bar --> "Move" --> change the page name. This creates a redirect, so that searching the old item name will bring you to the new item name page. DON'T MAKE A NEW PAGE THEN JUST COPY/PASTE EVERYTHING.
	+ The image also needs to be replaced (since the image contains the item name)
	+ Edit Template:Item\_Navbox.
	+ Change the name on any item table pages (Arm Armor,Stab Weapons, etc.)
	+ Change the name on Item Effects, if needed.
	+ Ideally, change any time the old name appears on the wiki to the new name. For example, the "Needed to Craft"/"Recipe" sections of other item pages. But if there's a redirect (there should be), old links will still work.
* Recipe changed:
	+ Edit the item page and its item table page.
	+ Update the recipe image. The recipe file should be named File:ITEMNAME Recipe.png. Upload a new version to the file page

NOTE: It is easier to find and use an existing recipe that fits the new item's table structure, and replacing the images and text accordingly (ex. Titan Hammer and Red Muffler share the same item structure, which made it easy to modify Red Muffler's recipe when it was needed)

* Item value (armor, attack damage, HP/Stamina amount, etc.): edit the item page and its item table page. If the item value is shown in the item picture, update the picture.
* Category change(s) - including rarity changes: edit the categories at the bottom of the page. \*\* Edit Template:Item\_Navbox.
* Item deleted: add to Archived Content, then redirect the page to Archived Content.

## Errors

Errors will occur if the item's formula does not match what is written in the recipe's cargo. Here are a few solutions:

* Go to the item's image, click 'Edit Source', and save. Then purge its cache by going to More > Purge.
* Cross-check the code to see if they match the same format as similar items with similar effects. For example, the **quality** parameter will only work if the integer is followed by a word ie. Armor, Damage, Stamina, or Health, but **value** only needs an integer.
