The Official Caves of Qud Wiki Style Guide is a standard of editing practices and formatting styles for article contribution. The situation may call for breaks from these guidelines, it is best to follow these as close as possible. This is heavily based on Gamepedia's own Manual of Style.
Article Layout
Infoboxes
Infoboxes, boxes which summarize data relating to the article, should appear at the top-right corner of the article content. Item tooltips are also "infoboxes".
Infoboxes should generally summarize available information; speculation, as well as "unknown" or "n/a" rows, should be avoided. Most information required in infoboxes will be in ObjectBlueprints.xml.
Prerelease Content
All content that has requires prerelease content to be enabled must be prefaced with Template:Prerelease Content.
Book Layout
All books will have an Template:Item containing the title colored yellow, sprite, commerce value, and id. A section titled 'Contents' will contain the actual contents of the book, and will be formatted using {{ quote | <poem>{{#invoke: ColorParse | parse |(your text here)}}</poem>)) for each "page".
NPC Layout
Writing
Categories
Categories will be named in their plural form, ex Category:Artifacts.
Formatting
Color
The wiki already has a template for the main colors found inside Caves of Qud. Do not directly format the text with html;Template:Color has all hexcodes as well as way to quickly format a line with a single color.
Colored Names
Item names such as Stopsvalinn have multicolor names in game. For ease of use, call Module:ColorParse instead of manually changing each letter using the Color Template.
Wikitext
For more specific help on wikitext, check Wikepedia's own Help article. For fancier functions, check Wikipedia's Magic Words.
