Welcome to Underrail Wiki! The Community Portal hosts a "state of the wiki" list. Check the forums' wiki thread for additional community discussion.

Contributing to the wiki

There are many ways in which you can help. Don't be afraid to edit and create articles!

Improving existing articles

Adding missing stuff to navboxes/lists
  • Most content should be listed on the wiki, but if you see something missing, please add it!
  • Navboxes can be edited via the v-d-e links in their upper left corner.
Feats
  • All feats up to 0.1.12.2 are in the wiki, but some might be outdated.
Items
Quests
  • Detail pages; write walkthroughs, etc.
  • All quests up to 0.1.12.2 should be listed.
Characters, Enemies
  • Detail pages; add any missing data to infoboxes.
Locations
  • Detail pages; most are stubs or redirects to larger area.
Psi abilities, Abilities, Status effects
  • Detail pages; most are stubs and missing some important details.
Factions
  • Detail pages; these are really lacking in story details.

Creating new pages

Check out the wanted pages for a list of frequently linked-to pages that don't yet exist. Feel free to create any of them!

Quests

Add any missing quests!

  • Check out the quest infobox
  • Existing quest pages can be used as references
  • Also add it to the relevant navbox
Items

Want to add missing item pages to the wiki?

Abilities

Want to add the missing abilities like psi powers to the wiki?

  • ability infobox and how to use it
  • or use the existing ability pages (e.g. Stealth Mode or Telekinetic Punch) for reference
  • Feat abilities should go to relevant feat page; no need for two pages and disambig.
  • There's no navbox for abilities yet. Might consider creating one if necessary.
Characters, Enemies

Wanna add these to the wiki?

Locations

All location-related stuff is very much WIP due to the game content also being unfinished.

  • There's the location infobox and navbox
  • Zones lists every map file and its article
    • Every zone should have its own detailed article later on, for now locations only have larger common pages
Status effects

Want to add the missing abilities like psi powers to the wiki?

  • ability infobox is also used for status effects
  • You can use existing status effect pages for reference
  • Status effects should be added to relevant main article when they share name (e.g. Irongut medicine item and status effect)

Uploading images

See File:Misc icon.png#filelinks for pages that still lack images

Screenshots and editing!
  • Category:Exported images has all the game icon files (may be outdated)
  • Icons should be 33x33 or 35x35 PNG with transparent background
  • NPC/mob models should be roughly 100x100px or a bit larger
    • Unique NPCs can use cropped screenshots to illustrate their surroundings
    • Generic NPCs and mobs are better off with transparent background
  • Quests infobox supports 300x200 images, can be a key event or point of interest in the quest
  • Every area should have a map image, preferably fully explored and without visible NPCs
    • All areas up to 0.1.10.0 have map images (most gauntlet maps are missing)
Image categories
