Want to Contribute to the Wiki but don't know where to start?

You are in the right place!

Pages to help editors

Main page: Category:Timberborn Editors


This includes pages like this one, the Style Guide, Glossary, and Functional Update History.

Creating New Pages

Main article: Page Templates


Pages in Need of Love

Improvements Required

Pages marked as Outdated and/or Stub are a good start!

Wanted Pages and Files

You may also create a wanted page or upload an wanted file.

To do

Navboxes

One navbox for goods. One for buildings. Both have state = collapsed. We set each invocation to expand the appropriate section and sub-section. Then we have less navboxes to maintain.

Resource template categories

[[Goods stored in <Warehouses|Piles|Tanks>]]. so we can now get rid of the manual lists on the appropriate pages, rename them to the category page (leave a redirect), and use the category list for the goods. [[Category:Goods with nowhere to store]] - should be empty? [[Category:Pages using the Resource template]] - will transition these pages to using the <yet to be written as a Druid infobox> Goods template. [[Category:{{{faction}}}-specific Goods]] & [[Category:Non-faction-specific Goods]] [[Category:Goods obtained from {{{source}}} ]] [[Category:Goods with no source]] (eg Farmhouse) Later we can build exclusions if needed. It seems cats with one page are nulled, I could be wrong. [[Category:Goods satisfying {{{satisfies}}}]] [[Category:Goods that don't satisfy]] (latter is only useful as a quality check). Also checking the cats with title Goods satisfying should by a quality check too. Probably needs filtering as these may come with numbers or %s? [[Category:Goods processed into {{{processed_into}}}]] [[Category:Goods that aren't processed]]. Maybe of limited use. Can discuss later.

  • New Goods template using DRUID infoboxes.
  • Add Processed_by, thats more manual lists gone, and simplifies the processed_into.
  • Add specialised lists for bushes, crops and trees to replace manual lists.

All pages

The history of every object needs creating using the Functional Update History.

Category:Non-faction-specific_structures has many entries that are actually faction specific. Edit their structure templates accordingly. For help, see Template:Structure/doc

The lists of special pages have numerous lists that can be mined for editing work.

Check pages in the categories underneath Category:Structure_categorization are correctly categorized. If not, edit the parms to the Structure template on those pages.

Bye bye Fandom portable infoboxes

Template:Structure could be more useful. See Template_talk:Structure#Upgrades. New cats need a write-up as Quality check tools.

Admin to do

Tips tricks and other shenanigans

Infoboxes

A better version of infoboxes we should migrate to.

Using the legacy portable infobox.

Using tags with the legacy portable infobox.

Invisible Notes

You can make notes for other editors which are not visible without editing by using <!--hidden text-->. This can also be used in experimental pages. When released to live, you may just hide the contents instead of deleting it.

Syntax Highlighting

It may be useful to some to have this enabled. This colors certain things in the editor at the cost of some loading time. Can be found to the left of "Advanced" at the top of the editor and looks like a highlighter.

Deleting pages

Tag them with Category:Pages awaiting deletion. When they start to accumulate, we can request a wiki admin to action them on the Discord Wiki-Leaks channel.
