'''Anyone is welcome to participate''', whether you're completely new to the wiki or you've been here for a while. If you have not edited before, then this is a great time to get involved!

|task=Creating Mission Infoboxes for every mission on Gemini Station.

|desc=In order to finish our Mission Project we need to create infoboxes for every mission on Gemini Station. This requires super amount of time to put it together and also get it sorted.  

|guidance=This is an ongoing project to add every single mission available to the wiki. Story, General Missions, Trade Missions, Misc Missions...anything that is considered a mission in Gemini Station needs to be added. This also included all information for Encounters as well.

* Encounter Information needs to be placed on the [[Encounters]] page.

 

'''Project Data'''

'''Date Started''': 3/6/2020<br>

If you want to join this project, give a shout on the [{{fullurl:{{TALKPAGENAME}}|action=edit}} project's talk page]

 

'''How to get started?'''

Basically, there are several things that are needed to complete a mission card for the wiki:

 

# Condition of the Mission (Objective)

# Mission Details (Difficulty, Ship Type, Steps)

# Step Description (Info that is given after each step when viewing the mission details)

 

This is all required when putting a Mission Card together.

 

'''How to make a Mission Card?'''

Refer to [[Template:Event]] for more details on how to make a Mission Card. Banri has all the raw data so just ask for the data to start making infoboxes. You will need to use your personal sandbox to create the infoboxes first before actually submitting them to the main page.

 

Priorities are in order from first to last what is needed the most.

|title=Sorting Construction images

|helper=[[User:IsobelJ|IsobelJ]]

|img=Teleport to house detail.png

|task=Switch Construction related images to new license

|guidance=Image licenses can be used to categorise images, making it easier to maintain them. We have created a new license for Construction related images which has the option to specify their type to automatically categorise them. Images using the old license need to be switched to this new one. A list of images to be edited can be found at [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:POH_license]]. For each image:

 

# Edit the page and delete the old license ({{t|POH license}})

# Add the new license {{t|Construction license|Name|type=type of image}}

|title=Farming Plant Pages

|helper=[[User:Elessar2|Elessar2]]

|img=Mango detail.png

|task=Create or substantially improve the pages for 15 plants.

|desc=The wiki is currently missing pages for most plants (the scenery objects of Farming produce) and we are looking for help creating them! These pages can be created by anyone and don't require in game actions to create.

 

Page should include {{t|Infobox interactive scenery}} followed by a short text on which patch they grow in, how many seeds are needed, the level required and similar information. The id's as well as the in game name can be found in the [https://chisel.weirdgloop.org/gazproj/mrod MROD Database] search for plant using it's name or a part of the name, preceded and suceeded by a <code>/</code>. For example <code>/strawberry/</code>. The infobox versions should be split, as in the [[Strawberry plant|example]] into ''Seed'' (just been planted), ''Seed (w)'' (just planted and watered), ''Growing'' (growth stages), ''Growing (w)'' (watered), ''Diseased'', ''Dead'' and ''Grown'' (fully grown can be harvested). In the database these can be told appart by the actions listed, for all but seed and grown there should be one id per growth stage, minus the first (Seed) and final (grown) stage (for strawberry this means 5).

 

This should be followed by the {{t|Infobox Farming}} and then the growth stage image tables (both of which can be copied from the seed page). When copying the infobox please ensure that the <code><nowiki>|grown =</nowiki></code> parameter contains the correct link (the page you are creating) and the displayed text matches the in game name (this applies to the box on the seed page as well). Remeber to change the <code><nowiki>|name=</nowiki></code> parameter on the new page to match the in game name of the plant.

|title=Farming stage images

|helper=[[User:IsobelJ|IsobelJ]]

|img=Yew sapling detail.png

|task=Update images of the growth stages for 5 different plants

|desc=Our images of plant growth stages are severely outdated. We are looking for players with a range of [[Farming]] levels who can capture images as their plants progress through different [[Farming#Growth cycles|growth cycles]].

|guidance=[[:Category:Farming stage images]] contains all the images that we currently have - many plants have received graphical updates and all Farming patches were updated a while ago so nearly all the images need to be taken again. Simply put the plant into the patch and capture a new image each time that its appearance changes.

 

Some changes can be very small, so its important to capture images at the same patch and to use the same angle to show the differences between stages clearly. An example of good images can be found on the [[money tree]] page; and there is a guide on how to capture high quality images [[RuneScape:Editing/Taking images|here]].

 

Waiting for plants to grow may take some time but you may be able to use [[Rapid Growth]] or [[ultra-growth potion]]s to skip through some stages.

 

|title=Image transparency

|helper=[[User:Merds|Merds]]

|img=Translucency icon.png

|task=Add transparency or translucency to 30 images.

|desc=In order to have the highest quality images possible on the wiki many of them need to have the background removed and we need your help.

'''It is strongly recommended to NOT use the magic wand tool as it will result in a poor transparency.'''

|guidance=We pride ourselves on having excellent quality images on the wiki. One of the things we do to achieve that is to remove distracting backgrounds from images, which we call adding transparency (or translucency for images that have particles or bloom effects). There are always plenty of images which require transparency or translucency to be added to them - they can be found in [[:Category:Images needing transparency]] and [[:Category:Images needing translucency]].

Transparency can be quite tricky to do at first, but we have a step-by-step guide on how to add it [[RuneScape:Editing/Image transparency|here]]. If you are not familiar with adding transparency to images, we recommend that you get feedback from other editors on your first attempts. It can take a few tries to edit transparency well. Please keep in mind that transparency must be done to a certain standard in order to qualify for this project. Some info on translucency can be found [[RuneScape:Images and media policy#Particle transparency and translucency|here]].
