Creating a Page

Creating a page can be done through the above input box or by searching for a non-existent page using the search bar on the top right.

If the page already exists, you'll be redirected to it instead.

Editing Guidelines

  • Use proper grammar and spelling
    • Stick to American English, in order to be consistent with the game.
  • Don't vandalize pages
  • Avoid editorializing -- stick to facts
  • Use Quick Icon Templates when possible, in order to stay consistent with the rest of the wiki.

Style Guidelines

  • When indicating an amount of currency in a chart, use the Quick Icon Template (icon only) followed by a number:
    • Icon Diamantium.png 40
    • Icon Wyrmite.png 40
    • Icon Resource Mana.png 40
    • Icon Resource Eldwater.png 40
      • Additionally, values presented like this should be left-aligned, in order to align the icons.
  • When indicating an amount of materials in a chart, use the Quick Icon Template (text + icon) followed by a number:
    • Error: Table Materials not found.
      x40
    • Error: Table Materials not found.
      x40
    • Error: Table Materials not found.
      x40
    • Error: Table Materials not found.
      x40
      • Additionally, values presented like this should be left-aligned, in order to align the icons.
  • When referring to a quantity of currency, materials, etc. within a sentence, use the Quick Icon Template (text + icon), with the number preceding it:
    • It will cost you 40 Icon Diamantium.png Diamantium to perform this action.
  • When indicating a number which is one thousand or greater, include the proper comma every third non-decimal digit:
    • 1,000
    • 1,500
    • 10,000
    • 27,500
    • If making a template that pulls from Cargo Tables, the magic word {{formatnum:}} can help parse values, e.g. {{formatnum:123456789.99}} produces 123,456,789.99.

Acceptable Date Formats

  • Most templates utilize the magic words {{#time:F d, Y h:i:s A e|}} and {{#time:F d, Y|}} and are thus able to accept a variety of formats which are parsed and stored internally as UTC.
  • The following are accepted: backslashes (2019/1/1), dashes (2019-1-1), most manner of timezones (+9, +9 hours. +0930, JST, GMT +9) and commas in the correct spacing (November 20th, 2019).
  • The following are not accepted and will throw errors: any dots as they cause non integer values, including dot spacing (2019.1.1) and specifying timezones in non integer (+9.5).
  • If no timezone is specified e.g. October 04, 2018 06:00, the syntax automatically assumes UTC.

To-do List

High Priority

  • Rebuild updated cargo Tables. Update pages that query the dragon cargo table: Template:Ability, Template:GenericAbility, Template:AbilitySimpleTableEntry‎‎ for starters.
  • Tutorial pages for wiki contributors.; start with Contributor's Guide. Add a section that describes in which categories each image usually found in a datamine belongs to, with examples.
  • Ensure enemy data from 2019-09-19 (High Zodiark) onward has been uploaded. Enemy Data should be seperated by date and enemy family for incorporated into Version Changelog.
  • Write EventType summary pages for Story Event and Defensive Battle and describe the mechanics of the event. A changelog section should be kept to keep track of changes over the various iterations and a cargo query to display the events of that type we've had. See Raid Event and Facility Event for examples. Canim44 (talk) 00:00, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Update Template:Event to display up to 6 exclusive Wyrmprints and 8 exclusive Weapons, due to Mega Man event. Template:Event has been updated.
    • Update all cargoqueries utilizing ExclusiveWyrmprint and ExclusiveWeapon to properly handle the list. Canim44 (talk) 00:00, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
    • Modify Module:ListParser with preferred tooltip display. Canim44 (talk) 00:00, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Update damage/heal over time descriptions that still say X.99 seconds to X.9 seconds instead - this was changed in a past update. See Blessings of Destiny for an example. Applied to the Skill and Abilty categories
  • Make MediaWiki:Common.css readable and in a coherent format. Related elements should be labelled and placed in close proximity.
    • Extension:CSS is being deprecated. Current use has been removed and future use should be avoided. Canim44 (talk) 00:54, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
  • Update Template:QuestDisplay with revival bonus(es). Done: New field is SurvivalBonus
    • Add revival bonus(es) to applicable quests: High Dragon Trials, Void Dragons, Void Chimeras, Agito Uprising, etc. Canim44 (talk) 18:12, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
    • Specify # revives required for each bonus. (If possible: Add min/max drops)

Medium Priority

  • Add transliterations for JP titles on all units. (The top JP text directly corresponds to English syllables). See Elisanne for an example.
  • Create a page documenting the Cube boss puzzles, according to the info gathered in these reddit threads: (https://www.reddit.com/user/VStruct/comments/g4qzkw/dragalia_lost_ex_boss_puzzle_threads/) (permission has been granted from the user that wrote those threads)
  • Find a way to auto-generate a tabber of Event Compendium endeavors, as was attempted in Template:EndeavorSetsCompendiumTabber. Once done, put this into the main Endeavors page.
  • Update daily bonuses for Avenue to Power, Avenue to Fortune, Elemental Ruins, Dragon Trials, and Imperial Onslaught
  • Update Elemental Ruins, Dragon Trials, and Imperial Onslaught drops: Done -- Wong8888 (talk) 21:52, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
    • remove 2* wyrmprints and weapons
    • add 3* core weapon drops (tier 1 in Beginner, tier 2 in Standard, tier 3 in Expert & Master)
  • Add missing campaign quest data: -- Wong8888 (talk) 11:47, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

  • Manually evaluate Full-screen art files, and make them presentable for story pages: (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8gjg55b107ek7cb/AADgDcFmA9OgCtuP9QyiWyE-a/Full-Screen_Art)
    • multi-piece art should be reconstructed to match its in-game appearance
    • art of small items in a box (gold apples, chocolate cake) should be cropped to that box.
    • art with large black portions, or visual oddities such as missing legs, should be cropped. The assumed intended visible portion is likely the top centered 865 × 760 portion of the images.
    • conversely, art that has no oddities should not be cropped (small & large Chronos scenes)
    • art that is long and scrolls (Monster Hunter feast scene) should be one large image.
  • UI/UX Updates
  • Update Template:NPCPageHeader to use a #widget. Currently buttons are not optimally styled.
  • Add |Enemy= field and related query to Template:CampaignQuestHeader.
  • Add missing text and voice lines to Category:Adventurer Stories pages.
    • Create a category to flag Stories pages with missing text lines or missing voice lines.
    • Category:To-Do Adventurer Stories automatically flags Stories pages with any missing story titles or content.
    • add 1st Anniversary and Halloween special lines. These seem to be the same across variants of the same character (e.g. all versions of Cleo will say the same line).
    • add lines for using a weapon skill (unknown if line differs between attack or supportive skills) - (attack, self buff, team buff, debuff, team heal, self heal) may need some help with units i dont have or need to datamine
  • Add missing text and voice lines to Category:Dragon Stories pages.
    • Include battle lines where applicable (Maritimus, Gilgamesh, humanoid dragons, etc)
  • High Dragon Trial Detailed Information (Thresholds, calculations, strategy, etc.)
  • Upload missing Login Bonus banners, and apply them to appropriate sections in the Login Bonus archive. -- Wong8888 (talk) 21:52, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
  • For skills, abilities, weapons, and dragons that list patch changes in their |Notes= section, link to the appropriate Version Changelog page for that patch.
  • Update Template:EndeavorRow to correctly display Weapon, Wyrmprint, and Sticker rewards. Workarounds for Weapons/Wyrmprints exist currently, but end up displaying extraneous brackets.
    • Similarly, update Template:Icon to display Stickers, so it can be used in Treasure Trade tables
    • How to fix the extraneous brackets: need to add the reward with the parameter Override=. A more elegant solution is to add a Type parameter to the template which calls the icon template with that parameter instead (weapon, wyrmprint ecc).
      • We have need of that more-elegant solution now. The EndeavorSet cargo table project isn't storing weapons and wyrmprints properly due to our manually calling the Icon template.
  • Update Template:Wyrmprint info card to have dynamic sizing.
  • Create Weapon Progression Guide, at least for crafting requirements.
    • Each weapon page now lists its own pre-requisite weapons. However, a guide such as this may still be desired.--Boblers7 (talk) 00:20, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Create Missing Enemy Pages - eave (talk) 19:34, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Low Priority

  • Allow more than one unique dragon in Template:Adventurer (Ex. of an adventurer with more than one unique dragon: Gala Mym)
  • Edit Co-Ability Nodes to show Chain Co-Abilities as well.
