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 (transcription)
All feats up to 0.1.9.1 are in the wiki, but some might be outdated
Items
Quests
  • Detail pages; write walkthroughs, etc.
  • all quests up to 0.1.9.1 should be listed
Characters, Creatures/Robots
Detail pages; add any missing data to infoboxes.
Locations
Detail pages; most are stubs or redirects to larger area.

Building new wiki content

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
  • Other quest pages can work as examples
  • 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?

Characters, Creatures/Robots

Wanna add these to the wiki?

Locations
  • Create a list of all map areas aka zones -> use as zones navbox
  • There's also the location infobox and rough navbox
    • Come up with a clean hierarchy and organize location pages & navbox

Uploading content images

Abilities, psi powers, status effects, and some items still need icons
Missing icons need some editing work
  • Category:Exported images has all the game icon files
  • Icons should be 33x33 or 35x35 PNG with transparent (or at least black) background
Screenshots and editing!
  • All NPCs could use an image (100px high)
  • All mobs could use an image (100px high)
  • Every map area could use a map image if you have a way to make one
  • Quests can optionally have images as well

Quality assurance

  • Check content articles for typos and/or bad grammar.
  • Improve syntax/formatting as you see fit. Try to have a common theme among articles of similar topics.
  • Add pages to correct categories by adding [[Category:Category's name]] on the page.
  • Help expand some article stubs.
  • Chck for any internal links to disambiguation pages and fix them.
  • Create some links on dead end pages and create links to some orphaned pages.
  • Fix any double redirects by redirecting the first page to the third page. Also check for broken redirects and fix them.

Want to discuss stuff?

  • If you want to discuss anything specific to an article, you can use the talk page for that article.
  • Also check the wiki thread on forums!
