How to add new NPCs, Items, Zones and Quests

This guide shows a way to add new entries to the Wiki. There are other ways to do it. As an example, the guide creates the NPC with name "Lotus" in Aquifer.

• 1. Search for the name to add. Eg. search for ”Lotus”. Note: open the wiki as a full page to see search icon on left column. Otherwise the search icon should be at the bottom of your page if opened in a smaller window.
  2. In the search result
     • If the entry already exists: Click the entry
     • If the entry doesn't exist, click the name (marked in red) to create a page
  3. Enter text in the main text area
     • Adjust the parts mentioned in brackets to specify a link to another page.
       • If the page doesn’t exist: That’s ok, it will be listed as a ”broken link” and can be created later.
       • If the page already exist: Make sure to use same spelling (case matters).
