General Information

How to Use This Wiki:

Platform:

We use the Shelve Game Studio for organizing information.

Structure:

Books: Each book represents a major topic, such as a faction.
Chapters and Pages: Within each book, create pages and chapters to break down the topic in detail.
Summary Page: Each book should include a dedicated page summarizing all key points of that topic, if needed
Consistency: Structure books similarly when topics are related (e.g., faction books should have a consistent layout).
Idea Collection: When you are unsure where to put your new topic always place it in the Idea Collection Book, the Page will later be moved (and/or renamed) by Narrative Lead or the person Narrative Lead orders to do it

Additional Guidelines:

Maintain a clear connection between Git issues and relevant wiki pages.( link in git, same name)
Link relevant pages to provide easy navigation between related content.
Mark any content as WIP (Work in Progress) if it’s still under development.
If you have access to Jan Eric's materials, AVOID, IT DOESNT EXIST FOR YOU.

Book Formatting Rules

When should I create a New Book?

Usually not at all, unless told to by Narrative Lead. Otherwise Books will be created and sorted by Narrative Lead as needed.

Description, Yes or No?

If the content of the Book isn't clear without a description, always make sure to add one, but not necessarily needed.

When do I add a new Chapter?

When it's an important Topic with many bigger sub-points
To sort loose pages if you think the Book is getting too chaotic
For Books like Factions, always tell the Narrative Lead when adding a new Chapter so they can give the ok and add equivalent Chapters to the other Factions (or any other similar Books)

Should I add Chapter or a Page?

Usually try to add a new Page unless its an Important Topic that will later be expanded. Narrative Lead will add Chapters when needed to avoid inconsistency.

Where do I add the new Page/Chapter?

If an equivalent Page/Chapter exists somewhere else, just copy the formatting and place it in the equivalent Location
Unless you're sure where to add your new Page/Chapter, just place it in Idea Collection, it will later be moved to the correct Location

Example Chapter

Always add a small Description of the content of the chapter:
Contains information on how to structure and use the wiki through examples.

(Chapter Tags will be decided and potentially added by Narrative Lead, no need to add any on your own unless our Lead tells you to)

Example Chapter

Page Explanation (This is the Page Title)

Only use Large Headers for very Important points, Page Title is usually enough!

Medium Header for important talking points

Small header for important sub-points, or if the topic is simple enough you can start with Small Headers instead of Medium Headers

Only use Tiny Headers for sub-points, never as main talking points!

Paragraphs for longer and concrete information, preferred for flavor text

Bullet List for short and simple sub-points
- Add sub Bullet points as needed, try to keep sub-points smaller than higher points
Unsorted information, does not have to follow a certain order

Bullet List detailing simple steps or processes
1. Add sub Bullet points as needed, try to keep sub-points smaller than higher points
Sorted information, order is very important
Bullet List and Numbered List can be mixed
- Like this, for example

  - Game design issue:
    - Are dialogues planned?
    - how could powers function?
