Contributor's Guide/Miscellaneous Edits

Limited-time Events
Sometimes, there are events that are hosted either inside the game or outside of the game (ex. contests on Black Survival's facebook page or on Medium). Try to make pages for these events as soon as possible, if there is any information in-game that will disappear after the event ends. See this category for examples.

Categorization
Every once in a while, sort uncategorized pages, images, and audio files into their appropriate categories. This helps keep the wiki more organized, so that it's easier for other editors to find things.

Click here for a list of uncategorized files. Click here for a list of image categories, here for a list of audio file categories, and here for a list of all categories. If you're not sure where something should be categorized, try looking at a similar page. For images that are hard to categorize/miscellaneous, leave them uncategorized.

To add a page to a category, click "edit source" and add to the bottom of the page (for images/audio files, go to the file page).

Editing the front page
Only wiki admins can edit the front page of the black survival wiki, to avoid vandalism. If there are no current admins, and you're interested in taking the position, you can message the Gamepedia wiki manager (profile listed here).


 * News Template should be updated whenever a new patch and/or character is added.
 * Flex New should be updated whenever a new Tech Lab period starts. Also, when a new character is added, their image should be added to the list of character images.

Templates and Cargo
Templates and Cargo tables have been put in place to standardize/automate certain parts of the wiki. For example, whenever a new skin is added to a character page (with the correct formatting), the data is stored in a Cargo database, and Skins will display the data within the database. You can see a list of pages that use the Cargo tables here.

In general, as long as you follow the correct formatting, by using formatting from similar pages as a reference, things probably won't break. When in doubt, use "Purge" within the top horizontal bar, which will force the page to refresh. If one table has an invalid/missing value, all cargo tables on the page will not work.. If there's a recurring problem, you can ask for help from the Gamepedia wiki manager of this wiki, or in the Gamepedia/Fandom discord server. Avoid editing template/cargo pages if you don't know how they work.
