Overview

Before you edit on this wiki, please make sure to read this page and its sections! There are standards we have that must be adhered to when editing.

General
We have some general regulations that should be adhered to when using this wiki:
 * Be respectful to other users and do not engage in any kind of discrimination
 * Make sure all of your contributions are productive and fall within editing guidelines
 * Do not plagiarise content from other websites; any translated content must be your own original work
 * Any images must be appropriate and related to Dragon Quest, along with appropriate file naming conventions

Grammar
All content written in English must be in British English to coincide with the nature of the Dragon Quest series' in-game text. Please adhere to this standard to ensure that all written material in articles are consistent.

Category
This wiki will not rely on categories for presenting pages, but will still use them as a backup for the sake of navigation. We rely on visually appealing pages to help users navigate and to prioritise a quality experience for all users. In doing so, we must organise our categories properly and therefore make use of sub-categories. Do not fill main categories with articles and instead add articles to their appropriate sub-categories.

If you wish to create a new category, ensure that they are compliant with a main category and that they are also appropriate.

Templates
For the sake of maintaining a style, only certain users will be allowed to create official templates however users are welcome to use their profiles to create sandboxes to demonstrate ideas. You can find all of our official templates categorised here.

Redirects
Please ensure that alternative names for articles have redirect pages that lead to their correct articles. For example, Nera and Flora both redirect to Nera Briscoletti. Make sure that different languages of the article's name redirect too, for example フローラ. This ensures that a user ends up at the right page when they search with related keywords.

Content Pages
There are examples of various content pages in each part of this section. Please refer to them when creating a new content page or editing existing ones.

Games
Please do not change the structure of Games pages, although editors are welcome to fix syntax errors, add to pages and improve subpages according to this structure. Please refer to the Dragon Quest (videogame) article as an example for the structure for these types of pages.

Characters
We have yet to finish a playable character's page on this wiki, so no combat data is available. However, please refer to the Rubiss character page when adding new characters and maintain this structure across all character pages.

For infoboxes on character pages, use the Template:CharacterInfobox and its parameters. The character images in those infoboxes should be in standard Akira Toriyama Dragon Quest style. Examples of this style are on pages like Jade, Alena and Debora. Artwork in this style can be retrieved from Dragon Quest Tact, Dragon Quest Walk and other sources. If you cannot find suitable artwork, then other official artwork may be used or screenshots as placeholders.

Monsters
Combat information in relation to monsters to different games are yet to be finished. We are also aiming to have a complete bestiary page for every monster in the series. An example of this is visible on Dragon Quest (videogame)/Bestiary. Please use the Slime monster page as a reference for structure for other monster pages.

You have to use Template:MonsterInfobox on any monster's page. The monster images in those infoboxes should be in standard Akira Toriyama Dragon Quest style. Examples of this style are on pages like Ghost, Dracky and Skeleton. Artwork in this style can be retrieved from Dragon Quest Tact, Dragon Quest Walk and other sources. If you cannot find suitable artwork, then other official artwork may be used or screenshots as placeholders.

Manga/Anime
Information will be added here soon.

Localization
We have a template for localising Japanese keywords to English, Template:Localize. It uses a module Module:LocaliseTable where the English equivalents of Japan keywords are stored in a dictionary. Please use this template when translating Japanese information to English information on the wiki! If there are missing entries in the dictionary, please add them to Module:LocaliseTable.

How to Help
If you aren't sure how you can help, then start with any of the following to get more familiar with editing this wiki! You are not limited to these tasks of course, you can do anything you like!

Creating Articles
See any important article that has yet to be created? Please go ahead and create one! If it requires an infobox, then refer to Category:Infobox Templates to find one that is applicable.

Stubs and Incomplete Articles
Stubs are used to mark incomplete articles or sections of articles. You can find all of the stubs under Category:Stubs.

Add Pages to Categories
While we are prioritising making proper landing pages for navigation, categories are very useful. Using categories to sort articles is a huge help.

Proofreading
Mistakes happen especially when typing out a lot of information and sometimes information could be wrong. If you notice this, don't be afraid to edit and correct it!

Missing Artwork
We are missing artwork for pages on the wiki, as sometimes they are hard to find or don't exist. Please refer to Category:Missing Artwork to see pages that do not have official artwork depicting their subject. If you cannot find artwork, then a screenshot or similar will do.

Galleries
Adding images to galleries is a great way to archive official artwork and other depictions on an article. If you find anything applicable, go ahead and add it to the gallery on the article! If there is no gallery section, then feel free to create one.

Translating Content
A great way to help fill out articles is to refer to Japanese sites which have great insight into many topics regarding the Dragon Quest series. Performing research and applying your discoveries to articles is a great way to help. There are many sites you can visit, such as.

Roadmap
Here is the roadmap for Slimeapedia. Currently, only the Dragon Quest X section is documented on here.
