Weclome to the Dungeon Defenders Wiki! The online encyclopedia on everything about Dungeon Defenders! We encourage every one to edit and chip in on this vast wiki. And we hope that many will do so, but there are a few rules and guidelines we wish you to follow.

Content Management

By adding content to the wiki you are allowing room for the Wikia community to grow! Adding content is the key focal point to all Wikias, but managing content is also a key part.

Rules

  • Never post any information that is false or that you are not sure about.
  • When adding images please check to see if one already exists.
  • Be respectful when adding textual content to all types of people.
  • Do not recreate a page. To have a page remade simply use the talk page and make a request.
  • The wiki should be at a level of the Dungeon Defenders' ESRB rating.
  • Simple and clean articles typically look better. Do not add extra content just to fill in the page.
  • Please refrain from adding or tampering with templates if you do not know exactly what you're doing. Important templates will be protected by an admin.
  • Do not create pages about non-canonical information that's irrelevant or not officially announced.


Tips

  • If you're testing or are unsure of something, then use the Preview button and verify your changes before publishing.
  • When creating a new article, use an existing page to guide you with the conventional format. This helps keep our articles consistent.
  • If you need help with editing, then you may ask one of the active admins.
  • When messaging a user, make sure you're editing their talk page as opposed to their profile, and sign your message by adding four tildes (~~~~) to the end of it.
  • Try sticking to only a couple of pages and adding information as you learn it. This will help you get familiar with the coding and how things work.
  • Almost every article needs improvement. You can often find something to work on by clicking the "Random Page" link at the top of the page, under the "On the Wiki" menu.
  • Infoboxes are and will be your best friend! They create a nice way of displaying information about something.
  • In general, avoid adding tables because they look bulky and out of place (unless you know your coding).

Media

A game like Dungeon Defenders requires a lot of media on the wiki. Before uploading an image for something, check if another one already exists.

Quality

Only use low-quality images if there is no other media available. The preference is the use of higher quality images and video. Note that taking media from other websites is considered stealing if they are copyrighted. They will be deleted. Also copy and pasting text from other websites can be considered plagirism and illegal. This could lead to banishment.

Naming

The names of uploaded media should be informative, unique, specific, and make sense in order to keep them organized.

Here are some good and bad examples:

File Name:

G or B

"12309384" Bad
"Monk Weapon" Bad
"TheWitchofTheWest" Good
"Apprentice-icon" Good


The good names let us know exactly what the image is and also makes finding the image easy. If a user were working on a page about Swords and they wanted to add a picture that's been updated, then they should be able to find it by searching for the weapon's name.

There should never be a case where there is an image already in the database with the same name. If such a case does happen, please check the other image. If the other image is the same or slightly different decide if the other images needs to be replaced or not. If they are different and you feel your image needs to be uploaded, please try finding another unique name.

Where to begin?

Here are a list of things you could work on. As a growing wiki, there is a lot of content that needs to be added and or cleaned up.

CSS Tutorial

Welcome to the mini CSS Tutorial on the Dungeon Defenders Wiki. Here you can learn how to do basic CSS formatting. We will begin with some simple font tags. This little tutorial will start with formatting text. This tutorial is not meant to be a full length CSS course and will only cover the basics. At the end of the tutorial you will find some links with good tutorials to further your study. Being a master of CSS will greatly help you in many places not just here. Have fun!

Formatting Text

There are some ways that CSS is going to be more powerful than the Rich Text Editor. The editor allows you to bold, italicize, underline, streak through, and change alignment. The editor does not allow you to change color nor change the font size.

When formatting text you have to follow a couple rules. These rules may not apply to coding text inside tables so please read the tables section for more information about that.

All text that you want formatted must be surrounded by the paragraph tag.

Input:

<p> Dungeon Defenders</p>

Output:

Dungeon Defenders

You may have noticed a paragraph at the end with a / before the p. That is very important. That tells the Wiki when to stop processing the code. You must have that with every tag you use. Think of it like a mirror or brother and sister.

Now when you want to change what the text looks like it is called a style. Style is a special word found in the paragraph tag that tells the Wiki that the text is going to be altered.

Input:

<p style="text-align: center"> Dungeon Defenders</p>

Output:

Dungeon Defenders

Notice how after the word style there is a = sign. This tells the Wiki that the style of the text will equal what ever is inside the quotes. Note that all formatting code must be within these quotes or else the formatting will not work. The quotes let the Wiki know exactly how to format the text. So remeber quotes are our friends.

Type Regular Text Coded Text Description CSS Tags
Font Color Dungeon Defenders Dungeon Defenders

We added the color tag to change the color of the text.

color: skyblue
Font Size Dungeon Defenders Dungeon Defenders

We added the font-size tag to increase the size of the text.

font-size:large


You're probably curious on how to use these two tags. The tables below will illustrate that for you.

Input: <p style="text-align:center;color:skyblue">Dungeon Defenders</p>
Output:

Dungeon Defenders
