Terraria Wiki:Advanced Editing Policy

Advanced Guidelines

 * See also: Editing Policy

For editors who wish to contribute more to the wiki, please be aware of these more specific guidelines:


 * Before making a new page, try to search thoroughly and make sure that a similar page doesn't already exist. For example, a page about lava traps should not be created, because there's already a page called Traps on the wiki where lava traps can be described.
 * Item names and monster names should be regarded as proper nouns, and hence should always be capitalized. Examples: green slime Green Slime, mythril helmet Mythril Helmet
 * When editing the Green Slime page, for instance, the phrase Green Slime should be bolded the first time it appears on the page (first sentence). Any later appearances should not be bolded.
 * Pictures used in infoboxes (floating tables at the top-right of the screen on item pages) should come from the Picture Database and be scaled to 75 pixels. Sample code: Item 274.png
 * For editors who live in a part of the world that uses British English spelling conventions, note that North American English is the standard here. See spelling differences on wikipedia for more info.
 * Information regarding different versions (patches) of the game should be isolated in a section called Update Info for increased flow and readability. This page is a good example.
 * Hero's videos on pages should be visible upon page load, typically under the first paragraph. They should be 350 pixels and should not have thumbs or any other code describing them. Sample code: 350px
